BDifficulty 2/5

A driver unnecessarily passes through a puddle at high speed and splashes pedestrians, which suitable speed could have avoided. Can this be penalised?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. Under article 2, road users must avoid danger, harm and unnecessary inconvenience, and drive carefully. Adapt speed to avoid preventable splashing as well as loss-of-grip risks. A penalty depends on evidence of the conduct and circumstances; it does not require a personal complaint from the pedestrian, nor does every unavoidable splash automatically constitute an offence.
