If someone is driving slow on the highway in heavy rain, my guess might be that he can't see. Maybe his wipers are junk, defrost doesn't work etc.

I'm not buying the theory that people are afraid to accelerate in rain.

It could also be a vision problem like not having glasses available or other eye issues

That can be a big problem given that we're the second-oldest state in the country (based on median age). I keep a spare pair of bifocals in my cars in case I forget my glasses. But I can easily understand forgetting to wear them. If you can't pass the eye-test part of getting your license renewed, then you are required to wear glasses while driving. I don't know what the penalty is for not wearing required glasses though.
