An idiot that posted a video of himself splashing kids at a bus stop in Devon got nabbed when cops got the footage and tracked him down. He/she could face dangerous driving charges. No harm. http://www.herald.ie/world-news/motorist-in-hot-water-over-puddle-drenching-1914050.html

Errr ... wasn't it a "her" who was charged? Thought the "him" was the passenger, and she was driving.

So glad to see this person being charged. Deserved.

Ignorant and dangerous. I hope that she will be charged with careless driving at the very least

I have done it by accident once or twice but when it does happen to you it is the most annoying thing that can happen.

If anything, she should be done for the bloody speed she was doing down that road. If one of the people at the bus stop decided to cross the road, they'd have had no chance.

Miss Callard, a professional carer said that she had contacted the police herself after realising the furore the video had caused, and was due to give a statement to them.

She said that after driving on, they decided to go back and splash them, and recorded it because it was ~quite unusual.

"They were having fun in the bad weather," she said.

"The fun factor is mostly gone from life these days but they were playing in puddles, like kids always have done.

"If the kids weren't saying, 'Splash me, splash me,' I certainly wouldn't have done it.

She said the children were standing by the puddle waiting to be splashed, and she did not think that they were even waiting for a bus.

In 2005 a Somerset motorist who soaked a workman after driving through a puddle admitted a charge of driving without due consideration and was fined £150 and given three penalty points by magistrates in Yeovil.
