The police force are being mocked for wasting resources to hunt a motorist who drove through a puddle and soaked a mother and her two children. The incident took place on 4th January in St Ives.
Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is illegal to drive without reasonable consideration for others, and can lead to a £5,000 fine.
Lisa Hawksford, 46, from St Ives said, “Police should be focussing on burglaries, theft and assault... I understand this lady got drenched, but it's just one of those things.”
Stef Barnes from Cambridge posed on Facebook, “Have the police really got nothing better to do than hunt down a car that drove through a puddle and splashed a few people? Hardly a major crime is it?”
