Soaked by car

[User16625]

It's a highways offence I believe. Report it, even if you don't have the reg. could be a local twat with a history.

Reporting something without evidence will likely be a waste of time. The police are hard pushed to do anything even if you turned up with DNA and HD CCTV of someone in the act.

OT but why does the forum auto cencor the F word (fark) but not twat? I use the F word much more than the T word as its much more versatile.

Quite a few years ago some prick thought he was being clever in soaking our little cycle group with a large puddle, pipping his horn as he passed by. We had the last laugh as his car cut out down the road due to him flooding his car's electrical bits. As we caught him up we saw him trying unsuccessfully to restart the engine. We laughed at him, some waving sarcastically, some even giving the one fingered salute and other such gestures.

We have a junction that floods

Join traffic, signal your intention to move out around the puddle and most traffic is fine

Then you get the muppet who tries to undertake through the puddle

There is a curve near me just before some traffic lights that both floods and has a pothole... well, more of a potchasm to one side of it.

A few weeks ago move out to go around puddle. Car behind leans on the horn, drives through the puddle at speed I think trying to undertake, then the most enormous BANG, and limps to the side of the road. I had a rather visible chuckle whilst waiting for the lights.

I would have stopped and emptied my water bottle over the R sole.

I ride over a causeway on the way to work. In bad weather occassionally the waves can force back up the drains lifting the manhole covers off.

Cycle through puddles at your peril.

Mrs A was driving her pony and trap carefully down the middle of a flooded road the other day when a Transit and a car passed her on the inside. There are some nutters about!

I did a flood awareness course with Trumpton a while back for SAR, if if these twonks could see some of the horrific pics Trumpton have of people who've come a cropper in less than a foot of floodwater they'd never drive through it again.
