A mother and daughter experienced a less-than-ideal commute recently when a black sedan sped through a puddle, sending a spray of dirty water – reportedly containing sewage – all over them. The incident, which left the daughter in tears, prompted the mother to contact the authorities.
The mother, standing firm, declared, “Being my daughter means you won’t be wronged. Whether we’re on a scooter or an open vehicle, being splashed with sewage from a passing car isn’t our fault.”
Beyond the obvious lack of civic responsibility, splashing pedestrians with water is, in many jurisdictions, a traffic violation. Current regulations dictate that drivers approaching flooded roads or bridges should assess the situation and proceed at low speed only after confirming it is safe to do so.
The repercussions aren’t limited to pedestrians. High-speed splashes can engulf the windshields of trailing vehicles, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Such incidents can easily lead to rear-end collisions, with the vehicle causing the splash held liable.
Driving in wet weather is more than just a test of driving skill; it’s a reflection of a driver’s character. Responsible motorists should adhere to traffic laws, prioritize safety, and contribute to a more civilized and orderly road environment. It’s a simple act, but one that has a significant impact on the safety and well-being of everyone on the road.
