done it once, not on purpose and was just unlucky by a walker who unfortunately got a bit wet!

Due to our third-world roads, that's almost inevitable. Especially at night, when drivers cannot always see the lake until they're upon it.

she was lucky she didnt plow into those kids.
Dont think she was likely to run into kids, i've been through loads of big puddles and never lost control?

Anyhow, I'm not a big fan of this type of behaviour, but trying to say its dangerous driving is total b****x! A big fine would probably be enough, hardly a points offence IMO

Just seemed uncomfortably fast IYAM. Puddle or not that car must have been speeding in an area like that

In real life if it was accidental and I'd done it - I admit I'd find it funny.

Putting it on the internet along with the retards commentary renders it very unfunny.

Speed also seems inappropriate

yes she can and even this on a much smaller scale would be cause for failing a driving test.

And no, I didn't laugh, sorry, just didn't find it funny. I thought the bloke was a total twonk.

Precisely.

But that's why it's called you TUBE!! It's a sort of cretin-detector.

A BMW did it to me and I was in the S.

The water went clean over the roof, but I was amazed that the Bimmer didn't lose control.

That puddle looks sufficiently deep enough to have potentially caused loss of control / aqua-planing.

Failed to make me laugh either..
