I have a 5 speed Honda Civic and I was
on a trip last week with a friend when it
started raining pretty hard.

Of course I was on the freeway so I
was in 5th gear.

He told me that I would have better traction
by being in 4th gear while it was raining.

???????????????

We kinda got into a fight about it...it sounded
absurb to me.

Why what gear I was in going 60MPH matter
about the traction??

I think this here is one of them Urban Legends.
I've never heard this before.

Anyone else ever heard of this or know what, if any,
merit is behind it??
