Default Drivers + Wet Conditions

Why is it that when it rains heavily that people seem to think that hitting the anchors and cutting people off is a great idea?

Case in point, yesterday afternoon it decided to rain heavily on my way home, which is about a 5km drive now. Some stupid bastard decided to come flying out of a driveway across three lanes of traffic to make the green turning arrow, which cut off one guy, which then in turn made three guys following him hit the anchors hard, which then made me hit my anchors hard, and I pulled up behind a Mazda Tribute, with about 10cm to spare.

I always give two extra car lengths following distance in the wet, just in case something like this happens. Thanks to DBA and Bendix too, because otherwise I would have been forking out on my clean insurance record because some moron does not know how to drive.
