I won't argue the conclusion, just introduce an anecdotal observation.
When it is spitting or raining very lightly, sit in a stopped car and watch the rain on the window.
Now, speed that car up to about 80km and see what happens. Disregarding spray from other vehicles, odds are that there will be more rain on the windshield in the same amount of time.
Like I said just an observation.
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoYes, but for a given distance you get less rain on the windscreen when you drive fast, rather than driving slowly.
- run4yourlives 17y agoOf course, because you've substantially reduced your exposure time. But the act of increasing your speed itself actually causes you to come in contact with more raindrops, not less.
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoPer unit time, yes. Per unit distance, no. I'm just not getting you. I'm giving up.
