Driver faces hefty fine after splashing mum and two kids with puddle

A driver is facing a £5,000 fine after driving into a puddle and splashing a mum and her two children.

Police in Cambridgeshire are currently looking for the unknown driver who committed the act on January 4. They have called the splashing "unbelievable." The Daily Mail reports that the woman was walking with a pram when the motorist drove through a 20-foot long puddle and splashed her and her children. Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident. A spokesperson for the force said:

"Due to the poor weather, a very large puddle had built up due to a blocked drain near the junction, which was halfway across the road.

"It was not raining and the puddle, some 20 feet in length, could easily be seen by motorists.

"Unbelievably a motorist drove through the puddle causing the water to soak the three."

UK law states that it is a criminal offence to drive "without reasonable consideration for other persons." This includes driving with the intention to splash another person. A max fine of £5,000 can be issued for the crime.
