The Guy was doing 15 mph, and didn't see 2 workmen in a ditch at the side of the road. Was going to stop and apologise, but as he was being
"tailed" by a cop car, didn't have time before he was pulled over. Done totally unintentionally. Seems like one of the many symptoms
of this pathetic country we live in. The priorities of the police seem all wrong to me.

EXACTLY!!!!!
WELL PUT!!!!!
What a load of old cobblers.
What utter shite, utter utter complete crap
I am bloody speechless.
Situation should go, man splashes workmen, workmen get angry, gesticulate rudely at man, man thinks sorry folks, continues on his way. At some point
in the future life has a habit of coming rounf to meet you and no doubt he'll fall embarassingly into a puddle himself walking home from the pub
the next week.
What is all this "sue him", sue them bollox.
For god's sake, do we all want to live in a sterilised clinic for ever. Just get on with flipping life.
The law is a frigging ass in my opinion, mainly due to personal experience with what I am told is the wrong side of it apparently.
As somebody put on another thread, it is for the guidance of the wise and the blind obedience of fools, never have truer words been spoken.
Bet the w**ker copper that stopped him really thought he'd done the country a service that day........twat.

I would say exactly the same in court "Jeez judge,I just wanted to apologize but the cops got me before doing so"
At 15 Mph that must have been a deap puddle to make a splash huge enough to reach two roadworkers.
As if the police would not see the difference if it's done on purpose or by accident.

From the way they close roads and put up all the unnecessary barriers and crap, just to fill a 6" pothole, I'd be asking how the car came
to be so close?
Someone must not have been stupidly adhering to all the latest EC safety guidelines in maintaining safe distances for barriers.
Sue the workers!! For putting the driver in such a compromised situation!! 
And you've got to wonder why the police were tailing him????

It's obvious that you are all fragile office birds
Never worked beside a road than hé,try it sometimes and be glad that you survive the first day because at least once a day some lunatic in a car
try's to overrun you neglecting the signs and forgetting the fact that there are people working

The chavs may get the last laugh when the bow wave you've just created by driving through a puddle, reflects off the edge of the pavement back
into your engine bay, down your intake and speads the internals of your engine all over the road.
Yes i've seen it all to many times as a customers car arrives on the back of a recovery truck and explains that it was only a
"little" puddle honest.
