i hear you aren't supposed to start your engine again after. It will only do more damage.
ya with all this rain down her's it's pretty scary. Some of the freeways aren't totally flat and water get trapped. Last night I was on 280 S and I gassed it in 5th gear and my car started to hydroplane. I was like wtf....it was at like 11:30ish when it started to pour once again. Don't drive in the left or rightmost lanes. Those always have a crapload of water.

people from the east coast must just laugh and laugh and laugh at you guys. a little rain and everyone is hydroplaning, hydrolocking their engines, whining profusely, etc etc.
just drive slower, make sure your tires are up to snuff, and be extra careful. you'll be just fine.

sorry but people here on the WEST SIDE, THE BEST SIDE DONT DRIVE SLOW
when your ass gets into an accident driving like a fool in the rain you'll understand!
let me know when you're going to be on the freeways in the bay area so i can AVOID YOU!

if u pay attention to my post i said i was only going 45mph, and i was still hypdroplaining. if u consider that fast then u must have never driven on the freeway b4.
i was just teasing you, but now that you decided to be a s-a:
1. i was not referring to your original post, but to your lame comment about people on the "west side" not driving slow. if u [sic] pay attention to my post then u [sic] will see that i quoted it rather than quoting your original post.
2. i would be willing to bet i've been driving on freeways a LOT longer than you, and have probably driven faster (safely) than you as well.
3. if you were hydroplaning you were driving too fast for the conditions.

wow look u made a list of come backs. frisco ppl are stupid they have to make a list of their thoughts, well thanks for sharing ur ideas with me, but this post was about my experience on the freeway, and i original intension was to warm ppl in the SOUTH bay not to drive fast because of the rain. until u made a comment about ppl from the east coast laughin at us, for whining.. how is that whinin? ur from the westcoast, i dont give a **** what ppl from the east coast think. u can acutally hydroplain going 5 mph if u pull the Ebrake up. sooo u may have driven longer than me, but u sure dont have enough education. PAYCE !
i just found it funny because i used that exit several times saturday and sunday. (i grew up in cupertino) what we consider "bad" weather is pretty tame compared to what other places see... which is one of the nice things about living here.
but it's all good b/c i am now in awe of your "education".
sorry, couldn't help it.

Thats what the ebrake is for people I actually scared the crap out of myself last year when going to work...pulled the ebrake in rain around a 90 degree turn...and did a full spin.

Be carefull out there. We might not get as much rain as you on the East, but when we do...we get the "first rain" effect w/ all the oils and crap on the road. Makes driving much more dangerous
