and the complete, total W*nker camp too. Would you kick water in someones face too, or perhaps not so easy when you can't just drive away.It is driving without due care and attention and can result in prosecution.

Ok, if you have turned your kid out in their smart uniform and someone drenches them on the way to school would you be pleased about them having to sit there in wet clothes all day, also people carry laptops, phones and other electronic items that dont take well to being doused with water, clothes can be ruined, contact lenses and glasses knocked out/off. Whatever the outcome, nobody gets to decide whether someone else will be bothered or not, other people arent there to amuse you, you leave them alone, it isnt hard really is it ?
If it was truly a mistake, then yeah I can see that nobody died but why would anyone do it to amuse themselves, that is just a disturbing personality trait, a car ploughing through standing water can generate a lot of force, it can hurt and isnt very hygenic is it ?
Like I said, if I came up and tipped water on your head from a bucket, would you laugh along with me and say "its not acid, so its fine" or would you be offended, shocked and lash out ? it is exactly the same, well it isnt as the person in the car is protected and can scuttle off laughing like the half wit they are.
If it happened to me and I was sure it was a mistake I would perhaps laugh about it and resolve to be more cautious, if someone did it on purpose and I could I would see if I could have my revenge, I wouldn't do it as I dont want to find my car keyed or have an angry dad turn up at my house with a damp kid ready to smack me one.

It really has nothing to do with the collection of worn out clichés in your post - it's basic consideration for others, which I thought, hasn't been invented last Tuesday, well at least for some of us.
Despite assuming it was obvious, can I just point out I'm not condoning it. I just don't understand the faux outrage like it's the end of the world. As I said, it's water.People have lacked a basic consideration for others for years - I'm surprised that this is a new phenomenon to everyone, well at least some of you
And as for the use of tired clichés, I'd suggest looking at the quoted post above yours. Where I am being asked to think of the children...it's just a dribble of boring what ifs and when it gets applied to every single walk of life, they really do warrant little further effort than hackneyed soundbites.

Why ? life isnt a cartoon ?My wife had a student come into school distraught with her ruined GCSE art work because someone had done that, on purpose, something she was really pleased with that took her hours and hours, she was inconsolable and had to start from scratch, all because some sad act was having "a laugh"
You drive a car, if you do stuff like that you shouldn't have one, you really actually think soaking someone with cold gritty water is amusing, what would you do if I tipped a bucket of cold water on your head when you are sat in a pub ? or if I did it to a member of your family, would you be amused ?

tty thing to do to someone who has done you no harm, in fact it goes beyond basic consideration, it is a bit sadistic going out of your way to cover someone in rainwater.The only time I can remember doing this was summer a few years back in the work van, very hot day, and there was a bunch of kids standing beside the puddle actually wanting a soaking to cool them down, I duly obliged. Quite an impressive wave it made too.
Someone did this to me deliberately a couple of years ago too in town. I was on my way to the pub so obviously dressed up. The stupid idiot made the mistake of stopping up the road to let his amused passengers out of the car; obviously didn't expect the confrontation he received, and uttered out some form of apology. Aye mate, sorry I caught up with you more like...

Someone did it to me years ago. Ruined a 200 quid coat. s.
Someone did it to me and my son when he was 3 months old. I gave chase (with pram) and managed to give the a decent boot to the door before they went through the red light. What sort of utter cretin swerves to within 6" of the curb to intentionally soak a bloke with a pram? The sort that then scarpers with a dent instead of discussing it.
TL;dr? It's not funny, people who do it ares.

once when I was driving an Audi there was an absolutely huge puddle with a load of kids next to it, as I approached they were gesturing me to drive in it and splash them, I obliged and they seemed happy
I've been the kid in that situation in the past, raining on a biblical level one day on the way home from school, as we were piss wet through anyway we decided to see how many big puddles we could get splashed with. Also had it happen once walking home from the pub on my own, I got wet, got changed when I got home and then wasn't wet again.
As kids we used to stand the other side of a hedge when lorries came along & get soaked by the huge wave, the drivers never knew we were there so they never slowed down or avoided the puddles.
Only time I've done it as a driver was past some temporary roadworks, a burst water main by the amount of water all over the road. Had the kids in the car & couldn't see anybody so sped through it creating a big wave & 2 workmens heads popped out of the trench they were in!
It was baking hot so I think they were quite grateful, they showed no signs of being annoyed anyway.

Kids used to deliberately get soaked on the way to my old school so they could get sent home and not have to do double geography.
Ive had it done to me once. I called them a tt, laughed and got on with my life. It was raining, I got wet.
I didn't even bother opening a charity for gutterwashed snowflakes less able to cope than myself.

Out walking the dog a few years ago, access to the woods was along a short stretch of country lane. Spotted coming towards, me a small hatch back, running with nearside wheels (deliberately) in all the puddles. I guessed what was next, so stood by a large puddle of my choice. There was the whoosh of the water, and I got drenched, no problem, in doggie walking wet weather attire. The resultant bang as he hit the huge hole said puddle occupied was worth it. Car went on it's way with a very pronounced front wheel wobble plus loud graunching noise!! Local knowledge very handy at times!
Now, that's funny.There's a road near me where, if it rains, a large puddle forms very quickly. I love driving through the puddle at the speed limit (50mph) when nobody's around as I like to see how high up I can get the water on the adjacent wall. If there's an unavoidable puddle in front of me and there are people who obviously don't want to get splashed, I just slow down and drive through at a speed that won't get them all wet. Remember getting an entire bus stop's wave of thanks from a group of folks in posh office wear for not splashing them.
However, if the target is fair game, then I love the innocent fun of splashing water everywhere. Aside from the schoolkids who are obviously wanting to get splashed (by standing next the puddle, already drenched head to toe and shouting gleefully), the only other person I've splashed is a friend of mine just returning home from her evening jog. Soaked to the bone but highly amusing, I was popping by her house anyway so she knew almost instantly it was me. She found it funny too.
