> Glad you're ok. I had a similar experience years ago in Florida - only really heavy rain and trucks kicking tons of water into my windshield and I didn't try to pass, just to break a little. My tires turned to skis, like james said, and the road felt like it was covered in oil. I did collide, in a minor way. The rental car company refused to give me another car altho I was hardly their only accident of the day and the cops charged me with reckless driving even tho I wasn't speeding. I didn't feel any better about Florida than you do about Georgia. Give me a curvey northern road any day.
