Alex Watts, Sky News Online
A female motorist is facing court action for deliberately driving through a puddle and splashing a group of school children.
Police received a number of complaints after a 24-second clip of the incident was posted on YouTube.
In the footage, her partner gives a commentary as she motors down a road in Plymouth, Devon.
"Puddle at the bottom of the hill coming up, kids at the bottom of the hill - come on!" he shouts with glee.
The clip, filmed from inside the car, shows the vehicle splashing several children standing at a bus stop.
Officers said the 29-year-old woman had voluntarily contacted them and was interviewed on Sunday.
She has been reported for careless driving and a file is being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall
Police told Sky News Online: "Deliberately splashing people by driving through a big puddle could mean that the motorist was driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.
"There is also the real danger that by driving through standing water this could cause the driver of the vehicle to lose control and could result in a road traffic collision.
"People involved in this practice could find themselves prosecuted and points put on their licence."
Driving through a puddle to splash bystanders is an offence of "careless, and inconsiderate, driving" under the Road Traffic Act section 3 and carries a fine of up to £2,500.
Four years ago, a driver who admitted soaking a workman by driving through a puddle was fined £150 and given three penalty points by magistrates in Yeovil.

It took me forever to wash all my clothes and explain to my teachers why my homework was all wet.

I was splashed by a car once in a 20MPH zone (they were going way to fast) I was wearing linen pants and a linen shirt and some bitch in a jeep the size of Dublin came and DELEBRATLY drenched me in water by driving through a puddle.
I ran after her for a while until she stopped at traffic lights so I knocked on her window and told her to roll it down so I could have a word with her.
She looked at me and then laughed at me and drove off.

For wetting a few kids?
Grow the fuck up, it's not like she ran after them with a chainsaw and slayed them all.

Oh and that was probably gods way of saying "dude, don't wear a linen top AND bottoms".

Im sure that you are just like her as well.
I suppose you think it's funny to see people who have had a bad day become enraged because now you've driven through a puddle and gotten them wet.
I suppose you think that it's just a bit of water WELL IT ISNT!
It is much more than that it is increadibly hurtful to your pride and changes the way you look at people.
You think i'm exaggerating dont you? well i'm not! it is hurtfull to think that people hold little or no regard for other people that they have never met.
It may be fun for you! but think about people on the recieving end.
She may not have ran after them with chainsaws and slayed them down but what she did was much worse.
Also The linen shirt and pants were for a formal occasion so I had to walk back the whole way home and put on other formal colthes which is really piss offing.

Uuuuugh grow a brain cell.
I didn't read the rest of your post but I'm sure it consists of "bawww poor me I got wet baww baww".
You think splashing someone means they deserve to die though.... so I guess I shouldn't take you too seriously
