Do you get less wet if you run in the rain?
Yes, but for a given distance you get less rain on the windscreen when you drive fast, rather than driving slowly.

Of 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.

Per unit time, yes. Per unit distance, no.
I'm just not getting you. I'm giving up.
