I vaguely remember there being a legal implication to motorists splashing people?

Lay off the drugs Caveat !
How on earth could there be a legal implication to this ?
Don't know about Irish law, but I know in Scotland there have been several prosecutions for this, in cases where the driver had clearly either soaked the pedestrian deliberately or made no effort to slow down or drive around the puddle.
Fairly sure it was "driving without due care & consideration", and that you can get up to 9 points on your licence.
9 points !? Unbelievable ! Should the council not also be liable for not keeping the drains suitably maintained to prevent a flood accumulating in the first place.
Predestrians have their own way of getting back at drivers though. Sitting in the car the other day, rain lashing down and two brollies bashed off the side of my car, the people brandishing them were totally oblivious.
Fairly small people then? Or tall car?
Definitely worthy of a report to the Taxi Regulator...I was in a taxi once where the driver very deliberately swerved into a roadside puddle and completely soaked a couple walking on the path - driver then slows down, leans out the window and shouts 'wee-wee pants' at them before we drive off. Dreadfully childish, unprofessional behaviour. It was pretty funny though.
