In the UK I have noticed that despite it pouring with rain, with large puddles everywhere, motorists seem to go just as fast as ever. They may not understand the dangers of aquaplaning and skids. As a cyclist, I regularly notice the sirens around on sunny days as they rescue people on the bypass. I feel sorry for the emergency services who have to attend these type of accidents, because it puts their lives at risk too.
