Maybe I'm not clear? "Second" means "agree with, or concur" or in current net lingo, +1.
Anyway I'm saying the example is invalid; I've never seen a wet spot cover half a lane. Rain tends to fall on the whole road
Very occasionally I've seen a true puddle (or mini-lake) and even then I'm more likely (as in: have done, safely) to drive straight through it with a light throttle-on to keep the weight distribution neutral. Throttle-off puts weight on the front; acceleration puts it on the back. This is a situation where I want all the "traction budget" going into putting water off the tires, and none into accelerating, decelerating, or turning.
