Have you ever been splashed by a car going through a puddle?

Question

I did yesterday....grrrrrrr!!!

Answer 1

Yes and it is complelety annoying, especially when it is still raining and you are cold and the last thing you want it to be dripping wet as well. Most of the time they do it on purpose as well!!

Answer 2

Yes. Although once in Boston a car actually stopped in a puddle next to me to let other cars pass and thus not splashing me, which really made my day!
It's illegal for cars to do this by the way - take their plate number and tell the police!

Answer 3

Yes i have, but sometimes common sense has to prevail. Due to the camber on certain roads and the inability of the drains to take surface water away it just sits there hence a big puddle. Do we expect cars, lorries, buses, etc, to keep swerving to avoid them there by risking possible accidents. My advise is don`t stand to close to the kerb, and watch for puddles in the future.

Answer 4

Oh my goodness! Yes i have. I was in high school and i delivered pizza part time. I was headed to the house i was supposed to deliver to and it was raining and i had my window about a quarter of the way down. This car was flying down the road and hit a huge puddle of water just as i passed him and i got soaked. All in my face and lap. I couldnt even see. It was soo messed up!

Answer 5

Boston is a perfect mixture of colonial history and cutting-edge innovation. From the wonderful cobblestones of Beacon Hill and innovative landmarks of the Freedom Trail, to the well-known grounds of Harvard University and Fenway Park, Boston is really a value trove of Americana and with hotelbye you may have the chance to know that treasure. Boston is famous it whilst the "cradle of liberty" and Faneuil Hall is one of many places must-see just as the adjacent Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a spot that includes three extended halls: Quincy Industry, North Industry, and South Market. , Faneuil Hall Marketplace is dating from the first 19th century and has become entertained with a lively assortment of shops, restaurants, and exhibitions. In great weather, you'll find block artists and buskers putting on shows in the square round the market.

Answer 6

Yes, although i was actually sitting in my car and the window was partly down. There was a pot hole in the road filled with water and a car next to us hit it and the water went into my window and hit me in the face!! Yes, my fiance at the time...now hubby....did not want to laugh for fear i would beat the crap out of him, but we were following my ex hubby and he saw it in his rearview mirror and found it highly amusing! I now keep my window up around here. I have seen it happen to people, rarely on the street, but have not seen drivers do this intentionally. Wow, the nerve of those that do!

Answer 7

No, but I got bloody covered (literally from head to toe) when a bus went through a flooded drain. It was freezing cold, smelt bad and hapened right in front of a cafe window - everyone of course was very sympathetic - NOT! Bloody builders laughing their socks off - b*astard bus driver......grrrrrr! is about right and then some - I think I even shook my fist!

Answer 8

On lessons i do try to don't do it slow down to minimise the wave or even stop go round etc!! But then there is a childish urge to charge through shoutin SURFS UP!!!! Seriously had you got their plate they are liable for cleaning your clothes and do-able for due care and attention but get a policeman to chase it up will be amazed

Answer 9

Yup, the drainage in my old town is terrible. Last year a car splashed us and a chip bag was stuck on my friend. Eww :P

Answer 10

Yeah, I thought that only happened in the movies.

I also once got knocked down by a parked car.
