News Flash: Angelenos Can't Drive in Rain, Share Angst on Twitter

Los Angeles is heralded as the sprawling, highway-infused metropolis impervious to bad weather. Known for its growing but still lackluster public transportation system, L.A. has had a celebrated car culture since the 1940s and continues to this day to be a city on wheels. But despite nearly a lifetime since the boom of automobile in L.A., Angelenos still have no idea how to drive in the rain.
So leave it to disgruntled Angelenos on Twitter to express how truly helpless the rain makes them feel:
Driving in LA in the rain is remarkably like driving on the East Coast when there's black ice and sleet. Nobody knows how.

Watching LA traffic in the rain is like watching children ice skate for the first time.

What I guess 4 days of rain in LA will bring: 1) 25,000 traffic related deaths 2) 50,000 rain suicides 3) 300 short films about rain in LA.

Does not want to drive to treatment in LA rain. Perhaps many of you don't understand just how ignorant LA drivers are when it rains

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
