They face a REAL different reality. After a few dry months, the first rains, especially if they're light, flush oil out of the pavement and turn the roads into skating rinks.

We have all season radials tires. All they ever drive are summer tires, so they might as well be slicks on oily roads.

They aren't dumb. They're scared shitless.

I’m no disagreeing with a majority of your points. It rains plenty once you’re east of SA and especially Houston, so the oil on roads is not really a factor.

I've got family in Dallas and they report seeing cars driving down the road spinning off for no obvious reason other than a light spritzing...

Not living there, it's all I have to go on...
