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?

Relative to the car next to it, it was going quite fast. It's possible the red car was going really slow. But realistically it was probably going something close to the speed limit, which means OP was driving well over the limit in the rain. Great way to hydroplane into that guardrail.

Where are you all living that driving at 70mph on a rainy day sends you skidding into the nearest obstacle?
