Wet Weather Make Traffic Louder, Slower, and Angrier
• Wet weather increases traffic noise due to splashing tires and frequent horn use, contributing to driver stress.
• Rain reduces visibility and creates slippery road conditions, causing slower speeds and increased traffic congestion.
• The combination of noise and congestion can lead to increased driver frustration and aggressive driving behaviors, raising accident risks.
