It's worth thinking twice about this.
Although the urge to soak a pedestrian may be strong, it has been highlighted as a £5,000 offence according to research fromAccording to the Road Traffic Act 1988 in reference to careless and inconsiderate driving, the law is clear.
It states: “If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.” This means that speeding up through a puddle at the side of the road to splash an unsuspecting pedestrian is actually illegal and can land you a fine of up to £5,000!
The best way to avoid this is to either slow down when going through the puddle to minimise the impact or to go around the puddle and avoid it completely . So, although it may seem like a harmless prank, it’s worth thinking twice the next time you drive in wet conditions.
