When there’s been a large amount of rain which created a big puddle, is it illegal to slash someone whilst going past? Someone said to me a few years ago it was

In short, yes it is. And can lead to fixed penalty notices.

Depends on what you slash them with sounds painfull for the other person

 

Wether its illeagle or not its shameful thing to do it shows lack of consideration for others

And there is me thinking an ill eagle is a sick bird

Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

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.’

And if I found you after you had done it you would also have a sore face. Never mind points.

Mens Rea. Prosecution would need to prove you knew there was a person who could be splashed and that you knew there was a puddle with which to splash them.  Of course if witnesses saw the glee on your face as you did it, their evidence would do.

I woukd be more worried about damaging the car by going into an open drain or potholes than splashing a pedestrian tbh
