People who drive through puddles to splash people!!

Carry a stone in your pocket or pick one up if you are walking in the rain...

I once saw a garda been drenched by a guy in a white transit near the swiss cottage in Santry. The guy wasn't laughing when the lights turned red and she legged it up to the van. I don't know if you can fine someone for doing that but she didn't seem to be letting him away with it.

Are people who drive around with water guns not worse, theirs no mistaking its deliberate.

I did get 3 people at a bus stop one morning,, but never even seen the puddle! Had to laugh though, the guy with me said he could see the womans face of horror as she saw it coming

It's illegal and you can be done for it.

Traffic Watch allows motorists to report incidents of aggressive driving directly to the Gardaí.

I try not to do it to people if I can. A few years back though i had just walked out of a shop with a full can of coke and some wanker did it t me. You'd be surprised the damage a full can'll do to a rear window.

I think it's hilarious. Once I start driving, I'm going to go out for a drive whilst it's raining with the sole purpose of splashing people.

Captain-America · 01-05-2009 07:02PM

I don't own a car, but I can assure you that when I do, I will splash.

seanybiker · 01-05-2009 07:04PM

I always ride the bike through puddles. Not to wet people I just love the splash

AckwelFoley · 01-05-2009 07:16PM

I am an avid user of puddles when possible. I do have rules..

i generally only splash the nackers in the white tracksuits and gold chains (100 points), students (80 points) young children (40 points) cats (20 points) never elderly or women - it doesnt happen that often, you need the nacker and the puddle to be in the correct place at just the right time for the 100 pointer.

I remember one time just outside moate there was a student from the business college walking towards me as i was driving. There was a massive puddle, he seen me looking at it and laughing hard as i approached i was almost foaming at the mouth with anticipitation - he was right at the edge of this 12 footer and knew he was fooked- as i approached he made this spring leap across the puddle but landed in the middle of it - i swirved to avoid the puddle... he shook fists at the sky with his shoes full of muddy water.. i on the other hand turned on my heated seat to warm my hole

The look on your face though- priceless.

Horribly unreasonable yes. But im a prick

dermo88 · 01-05-2009 07:28PM

Last time that happened to me was 10 years ago, I was on the bike, got soaked. Driver stopped at traffic lights 1 mile later, and did not expect me to catch up. Neither did I, but oh boy, I felt like my luck was in.

Cue, one smashed rear windscreen and I took off his wing mirror.

Thats a nice accident.

Did the district court judge not warn you about splashing young ladies from your car Snyper?

I do that too, when leaving house or work pick up a stone. Carry it home dont need to smash it just crack it.

Now thats funny ****.

Ive been splashed a few times, but each time it was lashing rain and I was drenched already so it didn't make a lick of difference

No, because I carry a second rock to deal with just such an occasion.

hate to be a killjoy here but its actually illegal to intentionally splash someone.

(I've done it accidentally.... a number of times)

Yep, driving without due care and attention is the offence.

Did this happen in late December 1995?

Something similar took place on Appian Way that morning. Around 8.00am. A guy in a suit was walking about 20 yards in front of me and a taxi deliberately splashed him. However he caught up with the car at the traffic lights, pulled out the driver and administered a severe beating. The road was deserted as it was a couple of days after Christmas and very few people were back to work. It made the paper the following day and the Gardai were looking for witnesses.

Hartyk87 · 02-05-2009 01:22AM

Yel I will admit i have done it a few times.

Got a woman one day, here she was big massive bumble bee sunglasses on hot pants and a low cut top, (the kinda woman that would put on make up, fake tan and do their hair before goin for a "Long" walk) anyway I soaked her from top to bottom.

Very funny and she cracked up too he he.

You're not supposed to swerve to avoid an animal, so why should I serve to avoid a puddle?

Valmont · 02-05-2009 01:31AM

As a pedestrian who has been splashed plenty of times, one or two of which I suspect were malicious, I never get too angry because I know, if I were in that car, I would be laughing my bollocks off.

Firetrap · 02-05-2009 01:54AM

I make sure not to do it. When I was in college in Maynooth years ago, there used to be a wicked puddle that would form alongside the Maxol on the Straffan Road every time it rained. I got good at sprinting from one end of the puddle to the other and timing the run so I didn't get soaked.

Ironically, I was driving with a friend of mine from college the other day. A friend who used to have to go past the same puddle. She was urging me to drive into some puddles and soak pedestrians - how some folk turn,eh?

So if you meant to do it, it's the opposite of undue care and attention yes?

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 02-05-2009 02:13AM

I dont drive so Ive never had a chance to do it to anyone........ its funny wathcin people get soaked tho

It's called a wet dream.

If it's done to you intentionally, you have the right to scrape a key along the side of their car.
