Impatient nasty aggressive drivers

We had the first real rain in 3 months yesterday, dumped down like crazy, water pooled all over on the highway. Everyone's still driving like a bat out of hell, passed a van down in a deep ditch and a 4 car wreck a bit later. Just before getting home heard there were 2 more accidents, one had 3 dead and 3 in critical condition. What's the bloody hurry?
