Driving through a big puddle carelessly and getting a passer-by can see you get three to nine points on your licence and a fine of up to £5,000.
This is because the Road Traffic Act 1988, Section 3, states: ‘If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.’
