They reflect the background lighting and add to the dramatic effect.
It simply looks cleaner and "more cinematic".

You can travel to Darwin in the wet season, and many people do. However, there is always the chance that, if it is a particularly wet year, roads will be cut to the south and east of the city.

Usually, on a frosty morning, with wet pavements freezing during the night.
A dry spot on a wet pavement can indicate that an object or a person was present at that spot when the pavement was wet. This can be useful in forensic investigations by showing the location where an object or person was placed or removed from the scene. It may also suggest tampering or movement of evidence.
3 seconds behind him, no matter the speed on dry pavement. More on wet pavement.
The smell of the garbage and smoke was evident. The trickling of water after the rain had fallen could be heard. The night had finally consumed the day and the pavement was wet and slick.
Yes, you can use four-wheel drive (4WD) on wet pavement, but it is generally not necessary and can potentially cause handling issues. 4WD is most beneficial in off-road conditions or on slippery surfaces like mud or snow. On wet pavement, using all-wheel drive (AWD) or two-wheel drive is usually sufficient, as 4WD can lead to increased tire wear and reduced traction on dry or wet roads. Always consult your vehicle's manual for specific guidance on its 4WD system.
This optical illusion is known as "wet pavement effect," where sunlight reflects off the dark surface of the asphalt, making it appear shiny and wet. The contrast between the dark pavement and the surrounding environment can trick our eyes into perceiving it as wet, even when it is dry.

No, it is not a good idea to change lanes quickly when driving on wet pavement. Sudden lane changes can lead to loss of traction and increase the risk of skidding or hydroplaning. It's safer to make gradual lane changes and maintain a steady speed to ensure better control of the vehicle. Always prioritize caution and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles in wet conditions.
You can walk your horse on the pavement, it will not hurt it. Even if your horse does not wear shoes they can be safely walked on pavement. Just be careful that the horse does not slip if the pavement is wet or slippery and its not a good idea to trot or canter on pavement for very long of a distance.
On wet pavement, the presence of water reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface, making it more slippery. This is because the force needed to overcome static friction (needed to start moving) is less than the force needed to overcome sliding friction (needed to maintain motion). As a result, it is easier for a vehicle to slide or skid on wet pavement compared to dry pavement.
On wet pavement, it will take your vehicle about twice as long to stop compared to dry pavement. This is due to reduced tire grip and increased distance needed for braking on wet surfaces. Drive cautiously and leave extra space between cars to account for longer stopping distances in wet conditions.
I'm feeling very sluggish today because I got so little sleep last night.
