Drop further back, and don't plan on passing if you can't see. Be patient, take a few minutes longer to get where you are going, you will live longer for it. Last year I was driving in rain on an undivided highway, and a large truck was coming the other way, with a spray behind him. I couldn't see behind him, and a little voice told me to hit the shoulder. I did, and a car behind the truck, who obviously couldn't see me if I couldn't see him, pulled out to pass. If I hadn't taken the precaution of hitting the shoulder, the idiot would have hit me head on.

Here's a clue: if the water coming from the vehicle in front of you is blocking your view, you are FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY.

Dont tailgate the truck or SUV. Keep plenty of distance between you and the auto in front of you.

Wipers on high, slow down and or pull to the side until its clears...

if the water is preventing you from seeing. you are following too close. you need more cushion space when raining

put more distance between them and you. Your spray also affects other drivers<

The first thing you can do is back off and stop trying to crawl up the truck's butt.

No, wait. That's the second thing. The first thing you should do is turn on your wipers so you can see, and TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS so the truck can see you.
