You're driving along, and you spot a big puddle...

[UKBob]

...and a couple of pedestrians are walking alongside the puddle, minding their own business...

Would you or wouldnt you?

[Rob_F]

No, because i'm not actually a prime . Is it really a question!?

Cheers,
Rob.

Its actually a quote from the Koran.

I have to admit it would be tempting and a few years ago I might have gone for it but now I wouldn't, must be getting old.

[rick_172]

No, and I would hope that if someone tried to do it to me, they'd aquaplane into the curb and promptly wreck their car as a result of their own immaturity.

[forthright mc]

it depends on if you knew the person on the pavement. if they are an arse soak 'em if not i wouldn't bother. wouldn't want to be lumbered with a dry cleaning bill...

[bga]

no way. what comes around goes around & all that. Act like a 2@ and you are no better than a chav/pikey/generic_scumbag who does not give a monkeys about anyone else.

[Remal]

if it included my gandparents then I would . then reverse and do it again

[JonRB]

Didn't someone actually get arrested and charged for doing that to a pedestrian? Of course, the fact that the pedestrian was an off-duty Police Officer didn't help matters.

Oh I remember this in one of the papers.

Well would be tempting.

I remember something on the BBC about it a few years ago. Accidents happen, but imo there is no excuse for deliberately doing it unless it's your mates on the receiving end

[UKBob]

I didnt say it wasnt childish - and Id frown on anyone who was hell bent on finding puddles to drive through. Similarly, there are those who would frown at someone who in their lifetime had never been so much as tempted to go for the puddle.

IIRC that was some worker who was deliberately soaked whilst doing his job at the roadside, knee deep in water, witnessed by a cop who helped prosecute. I maybe wrong tho.

[polus]

Not unless me moving out would cause an accident and even then I would slow down becuase if I was walking along the road I wouldnt like it done to me.

[mxdi]

If it was a small puddle and two chav pedestrians then I would be very tempted

Yep, even though the driver slowed down for the puddle apparently.

[Andy Mac]

If it was Abu Hamza, then no, I would certainly not splash him...















































..However, I would mount the kerb and run the fecker down!

[Antony Moxey]

I did once, when I was about 17 or 18.....








.....twas bloody funny tho...

[zcacogp]

Ah yes .. me aged about 17, and the guy in question was about to cross the road. He actually waited, very kindly, by the side of the road to allow me to pass ... I did drop a gear and accelerate quite hard, and he realised what was about to happen about a second before I hit the puddle ...

Oh yes, I laughed. HARD!

(Grown up now tho').
