A female motorist is facing court action for deliberately driving through a puddle and splashing a group of school children.
Police received a number of complaints after a 24-second clip of the incident was posted on YouTube.
In the footage, her partner gives a commentary as she motors down a road in Plymouth, Devon.
"Puddle at the bottom of the hill coming up, kids at the bottom of the hill - come on!" he shouts with glee.
The clip, filmed from inside the car, shows the vehicle splashing several children standing at a bus stop.
Officers said the 29-year-old woman had voluntarily contacted them and was interviewed on Sunday.
She has been reported for careless driving and a file is being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police told Sky News Online: "Deliberately splashing people by driving through a big puddle could mean that the motorist was driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.
"There is also the real danger that by driving through standing water this could cause the driver of the vehicle to lose control and could result in a road traffic collision.
"People involved in this practice could find themselves prosecuted and points put on their licence."
Driving through a puddle to splash bystanders is an offence of "careless, and inconsiderate, driving" under the Road Traffic Act section 3 and carries a fine of up to £2,500.
Four years ago, a driver who admitted soaking a workman by driving through a puddle was fined £150 and given three penalty points by magistrates in Yeovil.

The fact that serious legal action can be taken for that is lollable.

WHAT !? I seriously think they should get punished for that, more than 2500 pounds in fines. How would you feel if you were waiting for the bus and the same thing happened to you ? Plus, he could've slipped the tires creating a potential for accident.

are you serious? thats like a month's pay for the average person... for getting some strangers wet?? yea, its a dick move, but you have to be bright enough not to stand next to a huge puddle on the side of the road. cars drive in the road, and occasionally they hit puddles and spray water. this didn't seem to occur to anyone there. i cant tell you how many times ive given a puddle like that a wide birth in the city and stayed dry as a result.
ill concede that it could have been dangerous if they hydroplaned.
I could see a ticket, maybe a couple hundred pounds, and a point on a license for that, tops. Britain is just insane.
