That brings me to another peeve I have with SUVs and big trucks.
I am sure you do not do this, so of course this peeve doesn’t apply to you.
Lots of large-vehicle drivers either don’t care or don’t realize that when they blow through the standing water we smaller cars are trying to negotiate, they send said water up over our hoods and into the intake, which can mess up an engine.
I try very hard not to drive my little car through puddles that splash people waiting at the bus stop. I would be thrilled if big-car drivers would show little cars the same consideration.

I am pretty careful not to do that. Be careful this afternoon, I just looked at the weather map and a huge storm is getting ready to come ashore.

I hope you make a point of not driving in the rain.
