Rainy weather, slippery roads

Ok, very daunting I must say, what kind of weather do we have in Mzantsi? Or should I ask what season are we in cause it always seems that we experience it all in a day, or at least that's what happens up here in Gauteng. So the roads are slippery and its raining, the N1 seems impressive as everyone is patiently getting to their destination. Today Im travelling all alone, got no-one taking pics for me, but whats your take on people talking on their cellphone with this kind of condition (raining)? I say one needs two hands for the steering wheel, or at least I roll like that....
