    Here am I sat at yet another HotDesk with the rain falling over the Heathrow area quite heavily and I just wondered

    When exactly does rain become Driving?

    When you have to put the wipers on double speed.

    When it's diagonal rather than vertical.

    When it's gone on for more than 2 hours without letting up.

    When does intermittent drizzle turn into persistent, heavy rain?

    Driving rain is when the wind is behind it forcing it into your face, rather than it just falling onto you.
