Van driver deliberately splashes HUGE puddle over schoolboy - here's what the law says

A van driver has filmed himself soaking a schoolboy as he raced through a huge puddle sending dirty rainwater all over the youngster, as Storm Ali hit yesterday.



Cameron Paton uploaded the clip to his twitter account with the caption: “Get back to class ya wet wipe.”



In the footage the driver is shown pulling out of a junction before driving straight towards a large brown puddle which has collected at the side of the road.



Two young boys with backpacks on are shown just feet from the puddle, while one boy can be seen on the grass verge directly in front.



The Ford van driver can be heard speeding up his vehicle before driving right through the puddle.



A young boy who appears to be around 15-years-old and wearing all black and carrying a backpack is shown trying to shield himself as the water sprays completely over him.



In the UK, motorists who drive through puddles and splash nearby pedestrians could be slapped with a £5,000 fine.
