Before joe comes on here shooting his mouth off, I'd like to say that the onus is on the driver, not the pedestrian, to avoid the puddle.
It happened again today. I was walking in the same direction as the car who drenched me and did not hear it coming as there was other traffic on the road. It was not a Honda, and I don't think vibro was driving: couldn't see the wig, anyway!
This time, I rang the police. They tried to tell me it was only an offence if it was deliberate and in that case the offence is assault. She would not entertain due care and reluctantly took the details for someone else to investigate. Don't hold out much hope.
EDIT:
Just had a call from GMP. It's not an offence, there's nothing I can do apparently. "Puddles can land anywhere" she told me.
