An earlier Tweet from Hampshire Roads Police says it all “It's fair to say that we have been inundated with collisions across the county this afternoon. #StormDennis has brought widespread flooding and we ask drivers to drive to the conditions. Standing water and aquaplaning is a common theme. It's a speed limit - not a target!“I see it weekly on the A21 to work and back. Cars driving 80mph plus in the torrential rain. Last week as an Audi in the grass that hit standing water and ended up 15 ft up on the grass.
Seems to be worse now than 10 years ago.
and, it seems, many of today’s new drivers can’t drive at night either:
