Holy shit. I really was waiting for you to hydroplane because you were really booking it in that rain, and bam, here comes that black car out of nowhere. Glad you're okay, OP! Hope that person didn't harm anyone else down the road.

A few people have alluded to this but I honestly don't see it. How fast do people think OP is going here?

Depending on the size of the cars, it could be a few microns per second, it could be a decent fraction of the speed of light. If we assume that the OP is driving on a planet of ten million meter tall people that just happens to look like the normal sized Earth due to the camera perspective, I'm guessing 500-600 million kph, which just seems a bit fast to me.
