Is it wrong to drive through a puddle on the side of the road with the intention of causing a wave to soak unsuspecting pedestrians who are just going about their business, or waiting for a bus etc?

I know its a wan*er thing to do, and everytime the oportunity presents itself, i do try to refrain from doing it....but its soooo funny that i sometimes cant help myself. If you saw this happen, would you swear and curse the person, or would you be more inclined to laugh?

For the record, i think some people should be off limits. e.g. Kids, parents with kids etc.

So, am i a really just a wan*er??

Be honest, do you do it, or have you done it?

Have you ever been hit by a wave while you were a pedestrian?

I got hit by one as a kid on my skateboard, and after I had got over the initial shock/anger, I realised how piss funny it was and have never managed to pass up an opportunity since.

Mind you, being the wanker kinda makes you assume everyone else is gonna do it so you learn to stay right away from roadside puddles.

haha i have been victim to the bus driver. but that was for the bus i was getting on, so i couldnt really avoid standing there

if you are a pedestrian and are stood on the edge of the kurb where you can see a puddle that has the potential to splash you then its your own fault for standign there

so its perfectly fine for a driver to drive through a puddle, its on the road you cant really avoid it now can you? eheheh

Hey i have been behind busses that have done it a lady was holding an umbrella and tried to use it as a shield didn't work very well, i have seen some people that are so addicted to doing this they take their own water with them to splash people

bit harsh perhaps. i would be reluctant to tsunami ladyfolk, or people wearing suits, imagine if it was you lol.

that said, my dream tsunami moment would be a mass of teenyboppers waiting outside a nightclub. paint their blinding fluoro clothing with good old fashioned mud!

baaahahaha awesome thread....... back in my hay day (yr11-yr12) we used to go around in my mates hilux surf jacked up with monster bf goodrich all terrain T/A's in winter before school looking for the opertunity...... the tables have turned considering i havnt been driving for the last 12 months... winters just coming up and we've had a few rains.... i keep an eye out and stay a way from those good old puddles when walkin just to make sure..... i recon it would be pretty uncomfortable covered with road water and grime lol

Setting up the car with big tyres etc, then driving around looking for the opportunity...thats just being a right prick about it!

p.s. love your work though :D

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
