Wet Roads

I really hate driving on the interstate when roads are wet and the temperature is near freezing. That was the case this morning on my commute to work. The thermometer in my car said that the temperature outside was 42 degrees Fahrenheit, but I was still afraid that the roads could be a bit slick. To make things even worse, the difference between the rates of speed that people drive with roads like this is greater than usual. There are still the people who want to drive between 75 and 80 miles per hour, but there are a lot of people who want to drive significantly slower than the 70-mile-per-hour speed limit. I figured that if I just get in the right lane and keep my distance from the person in front of me, I'd be just fine.
