Motorists face jail-time for splashing pedestrians

[Big Boy]

I was tempted to put this in News of the Weird.

A Thai government warning that drivers face jail time and fines if they splash pedestrians has drawn an unusual response from the nation’s strollers – fix the roads!

The threat is all the more bizarre given Thailand is in the midst of its monsoon season and it is almost impossible to drive on the kingdom’s roads without splashing through pools of water and puddles. But many netizens responded to the government’s warning by telling them to fix its hazardous roads instead.

The Thai Government Public Relations Department Facebook page yesterday reeled out the possible penalties drivers face in Thailand if they splash pedestrians with dirty water from puddles on the road.

Another regulation that will be impossible to implement without a proper police force. Any pedestrian, down on his luck will just need to stand in an area prone to flooding when it rains - thank you very much. Totally bonkers
