AN INSURANCE expert has said that you could be slapped with a \u00a35,000 fine for a cheeky activity while driving in the rain.<\/p>\n

What might seem like a harmless joke can end up costing you thousands of pounds in fines.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

In a video shared on TikTok, Rooster Car Insurance revealed several driving offences and the fines for each.<\/p>\n

The presenter said: "If you purposely drive over a puddle to splash a pedestrian you could be fined up to \u00a35,000."<\/p>\n

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is illegal to drive "without reasonable consideration for other persons".<\/p>\n

The law also bans "driving through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed".<\/p>\n

Fines are imposed if a driver's behaviour is found to be "an act of incompetence, selfishness, impatience, or aggressiveness".<\/p>\n

On top of monetary fines, drivers risk three and nine penalty points on their licence.<\/p>\n

You could also be slapped with a fine for driving with pets.<\/p>\n

The expert explained: "If you're driving with an unsecured pet in your car then it could be construed as distracted driving.<\/p>\n
