I feel for you cartagena. I had the same thing with when I went on vacation once with a couple of young lady friends. For 10 - 15 minutes, it was sheer horror as I couldn't see a thing. Torrential rain. Rental car. Tried high beams, windshield wipers at high speed. Couldn't see a thing.

I was too afraid to pull over as I couldn't see the side of the road and I didn't want to risk getting rear-ended by a semi.

Speaking of semis, I don't know how they did it. Maybe they were reckless. Maybe they were experienced in driving in torrential rain. Maybe the fact that they were higher up helped with the visibility. But THEY WERE WHIZZING BY ME AT FULL SPEED, freaking the hell out of me.

I was flipped out for a while that night. Like cartagena, I am not necessarily perturbed that easily. I have done some wild things in cars that I won't talk about in a public forum. But this was easily the most scary.

They lady friends? They didn't even notice anything was out of the ordinary. They were sitting quietly or chatting idly while I was white-knuckling it.
