Default Failed test for driving through puddle

Anybody else heard about it?

A lass was on her driving test and went through a puddle splashing some pedestrians at a bus stop. She failed her test as a result and was kicking up a stink.

Splashing people is all part of the fun lol, seriously though, if she couldn't avoid the puddle he shouldn't have failed her imo. God knows its hard enough to avoid puddles wherever you go this last couple of years.

Puddles on a test route are avoidable!

Besides it an offence to soak people - sounds like a valid fail to me.

Just goes to show how desperate she was for 5 minutes of fame tbh

Its a legitimate fail - if you cant avoid the puddle at least drive/crawl through it slowly/safely so the pedestrians are not soaked - thats just common sense

Although what is more ammusing tbh is that the ITN news @ 6.30 yesterday evening actually considered it a serious newsworthy story WTF is this country coming to when something as crap as this is actually newsworthy

If she was unable to avoid the puddle then the silly bint should've slowed down before driving through it, daft cow deserved to fail... she probably brakes for roundabouts when theres nobody coming too

Id describe it as the natural way to fail a test coz a puddle isnt man made unless you wana comment on drainage issues. the whole thing shouldnt of made the news. still pretty funny tho

Exactly, if someones thick enough to stand there, they deserve to get wet.

I heard this on the radio and thought the same, weather she should have failed or not you can just tell what sort of a woman she is. Failed 3 times previously or something as well.

hahah saw some bloke the other week get a little splashed, in anger he spun round waving his arms and shouting.

While doing this, another car came flying down the road and drenched him from head to toe lol!!

I nearly crashed laughing, he was in cream and white clothes aswell, even funnier, after that he just looked shocked!!

head to feking toe lol, giggling like a school girl just thinking about it ahahahah
