Description of the problem	1/4/2019 6:45 a. M. In a heavy rainstorm, in the dark, driving on the interstate at a high speed in the left-hand lane, i turned my windshield wiper speed to max. The wiper's stopped working. I lost complete visibility. I could hear the motor for the wipers moving but nothing worked. In an incredible panic, i tried to turn them on/off, to no avail. This was an incredibly dangerous situation and i had to think about what the left side of the road looked like from memory just so i could pull off without being hit/causing a multiple car accident, and without being killed. I had to navigate, with no visibility and managed to get off the road
