If I’m driving on a mostly-level but older blacktop highway just after a fairly heavy rainstorm, and I’m going 40 or 45 or 50 mph along with everyone else and I happen to notice a large shallow puddle (i.e., the kind that’s almost a small pond, and is possibly more than an inch deep) near the side shoulder, I will probably swerve over to the right so I can hit that pond straight and true and send tens of thousands of water droplets flying.
It goes without saying I wouldn’t do this if any people were standing nearby (especially nuns, schoolkids, old folks, people in wheelchairs, safe-space wokesters), but if the coast is free and clear I would go for the big splash. I’m sorry but it’s fun, and anyone who denies this is lying.
