I've driven in the rain, as with any car, it's not a death wish unless you're just freaking stupid about it. I'm more worried by others than I am by me, I've hydroplaned and gotten out of it by judicious driving. Once, though, I couldn't keep it under control (basically the 1 inch drop between the abutment and the bridge surface had collected water so it was instant hydroplane) in a pick up and we smashed front and back, then over to the other side of the bridge and smashed up onto the side of the railing on the side of the truck, I was looking out the passenger's window at traffic below the bridge, then the truck bounced back onto its wheels and rolled off the end of the bridge backwards. And a good friend of mine was killed in hydroplaning conditions as mentioned. There's risk (as with just driving the car) - if you don't feel like risking it, if you do, do.
