See the problem?

Laundry, laundry and more laundry!

On Monday it was really raining here.  I was on the freeway and had only gone four miles, but I passed two separate accidents.  A reader sent this in and I had not heard this before, so I checked it out on snopes, they have a similar story but the lesson about cruise control is [...]
