Police investigate puddle driver:

amazing, but i don't think he should get fined because he was driving inside the lines, and he didn't have to go out of his way and swerve over or drive off the road to splash the kids. public works should be responsible for making proper street draining infrastructure so drivers don't have to swerve out of the way of a puddle. especially in a rainy place like En gland. i see it like so: public works/the city doesn't make a proper street draining gutter system--so the local government feels it necessary to perfect the imperfections of their infrastructure by giving fines to who does not adapt to the flaws of their own roads. i.e. you're not allowed to cross solid painted lines on the road, but you're supposed to avoid puddles to prevent splashing and hydro-planing, this almost always means crossing solid lines at some point if it's raining and the roads are shitty. it's not a loophole but a flaw. and that is that when there are puddles within solid lines of the road, one must drive through it to follow the law. this Briton should not get any penalty of any sort. as soon as public works and the city/local government gets their shit straight, then they can fine whomever they please as long as they are breaking the law. the driver broke no law as long as he wasn't speeding and was staying within the confines of his road. true it's safe to slow down for puddles, but I'm saying that tax paying citizens should not have to, because puddles should not accumulate on city streets. sure it was a bit rude to shower the bus stop kids in street water, but no other lines were crossed here, as in laws. I've never heard of anyone being fined for inconsiderate driving; he may be the first.
