James. Posted 14 October 2009 Posted 14 October 2009 Not sure what an undercut is! Struggling to find a decent image but it was very popular in the mid-late 90's. Think a curtains style haircut with a massive number 1 high up the back and sides. As if I needed to enhance my reputation further on here, but clearly I was painfully cool when I was a teenager.
samlcfc Posted 14 October 2009 Posted 14 October 2009 serves the kids right. why has anyone complained, it is still legal to have fun you know... and so what if the kids got wet, that is what tends to happen when it rains heavily people do get wet. Classed as driving without care or consideration I think. The car can aquaplane(is that right, or have I picked a random word out the air) which could take the car out of the drivers control and straight into the kids. Probably wouldnt be as funny then

I used to have one when I was a little lad, I also used to have a little bounce in my walk as a young lad too meaning my hair would bounce up and down to the point where it was cut which was usually very high. If that's not cool I don't know what is.

HA I know what you mean now, but I never had that cut (me brother did though). Alot of youths at raves had that cut back in the day
BoneDog Posted 14 October 2009 Posted 14 October 2009 Stand next to a puddle that size as a hooting car approaches at speed and you deserve a good soaking.Stupid kids. Yes, they did deserve it really! It must of been pretty obvious to them what was gonna happen. If it goes to court it really is more proof of how stupid our justice system is on quite a regular basis. A total waste of money and time
Alexikokopops Posted 15 October 2009 Posted 15 October 2009 Wouldnt be laughing if they were your kids who came home drenched I'd be worried if my parents didn't laugh at me if I'd been splashed by a car.
Raj Posted 15 October 2009 Posted 15 October 2009 I'd be worried if my parents didn't laugh at me if I'd been splashed by a car. Gay.
Thracian Posted 15 October 2009 Posted 15 October 2009 Typical woman driver really! No thought for others. I did hear once of someone who reacted to this kind of incident. The offender was recognised as living in the victim's locality so he and a couple of friends got a hose, knocked on the driver's door, connected the hose to the cold tap and saturated the entire ground floor. Far more effective than points on the licence.

I agree that they more than likely will get found guilty. I just think it is a total waste of a Magistrates time and whatever else is involved. I think that if they want to do anything they should just fine them on the spot like they do with those anti-social fines on a Friday night in town. I can't see the point of all the court nonsense for this pathetic little offence

I can't see the point of all the court nonsense for this pathetic little offence Thing is, they weren't caught on the spot, so the on the spot fine is a bit useless. Also, this kind of trial is not going to last that long, especially if the person involved pleads guilty. It can be dealt with in minutes. Plus, for an offence like this, you can plead by post, so the offender doesn't even have to go to court to be sentenced, which in all probability will be a few points, fines and costs. It really isn't that much effort.

I hope they fine the bloke about £800 cos I reckon it was all his idea!

I hope they fine the bloke about £800 cos I reckon it was all his idea! I think it was a she driving; the bloke was her partner. Archbold Mags Practice book does explicitly state that driving through puddles on purpose is an act of careless driving (para 17-34), and goes on to give guidance on points/fines. It carries a maximum penalty of £5,000 fine and 9 penalty points. Although that will be based on a not guilty plea, and an extreme case of carelessness or inconsideration. Otherwise known as dangerous driving.
Daggers Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 Does jumping in puddles constitute 'careless walking'?
Guest Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 If 'walking without due care and attention' ever became an offence, the courts wouldn't be able to cope.
Daggers Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 I'm going to do some walking in a loud shirt in a built up area during the hours of darkness. Cop that people of the law.

Daggers Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 You are The People's Hero. Not if my PM inbox of death threats and offers of fisticuffs is anything to go by. The People's Hero's inbox is full of girl's underwear.
Zingari Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 splashing people could technically be called "a crash" , and you should stop and give them your insurance details http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...n-bus-stop.html
Guest Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 Miss Kelly, who now faces a bill of around £200 to take the test again, said other learner drivers should be warned against driving through puddles. There is warning; it's called the Highway Code. Which you are supposed to read before taking your test.
BoneDog Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 Do folk really send eachother death threats on here? I hope I haven't sent one in a drunken moment! And if I have, then I reckon someone hacked my account
