Soaking wet!

[The Duchess]

Stood in a puddle over my shoes getting in the car, then my 40 minute commute took 1hr 45

Oh Eeyore Rocks

Isn’t it awful haven’t been out yet - was up around 4 again (you know why &#128521 spring/autumn cleaned my wardrobes dumping summer clothes ready for charity and getting winter rookies ready etc and it was thunder and lightning here !

Then the sun came out and I had an hour with my book sitting in the sun drinking coffee !

Odd weather and just hope it is dry for when you collect your grand child

I'm in the North East drizzling when I got up then stopped but just staring raining heavily now. Need to go and do some shopping think I might get wet 🌧☔

Just walking down the road, and a van came racing along and got me soaked...from head to toe... so pleased little one was in the dry... rant over! 🤬

Pity you were unable to take his number as although it is not a specific in the Highway Code it does seem to come under driving without undue care and attention and have seen cases of drivers being caught and taken to task

“In fact, the simple and brief legal answer is - YES! Cars splashing pedestrians with puddles is illegal in the United Kingdom.

SPLASHING PEDESTRIANS LAW: Not only is it illegal to drive through a puddle and splash someone with a car. Documented cases show drivers receiving a Fixed Penalty Notice for this motoring offence.

The law aims to protect pedestrians from getting splashed by inconsiderate motorists. But even so, the rules are a little 'misty' in some areas.

Note: You must not drive through puddles to target hapless pedestrians.

Doing so can result in a ticket for a public order offence and add insult to injury for everyone concerned. In fact, a few harsh cases resulted with a court summons ensuing in a hefty fine.

A few technicalities further clarify the law on cars splashing pedestrians with puddles. There is no 'direct' mention for Highway Code splashing pedestrians with puddles.

But, there are strict rules on driving without due care and attention. Motorists must avoid splashing or soaking any pedestrian if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, you are breaking the law and could get done for it.”

I wish someone would remind motorists in our town about this, I’ve lost track how many times people have deliberately driven at speed through huge pools of water on the roads here and completely soaked me through to my skin I mean completely and I had to do a work shift in wet chaffing uniform and squelchy shoes that then take another three days to dry out.
