Keeping the power down (i.e. less rpm and higher gear) usually leads to less problems because your going slower

I agree with whiteflash here, but my rationale might be different.
By going faster in the rain, I get to my destination in less time, thus reducing the time on the road that I am exposed to other drivers who might hydroplane and crash into me.
This is just how I think about things.

Wouldn't it make more sense to avoid being on the road all together based on that philosophy?
