With the weather getting more grim as the month goes on, you might find yourself walking outside with an umbrella.
And with rain comes puddles which means there are plenty of opportunities to get soaked by drivers.
But what does the law say and what are you rights regarding this?
Here's what the law says and these are your rights.
Is it illegal to splash someone with your car?
Under British law, drivers could be hit with a maximum fine for £5,000 if they are caught driving through a puddle which causes a pedestrian to be splashed.
So yes, it is illegal to splash a pedestrian with water from the road whilst driving your car and you could also be slapped with a public order offence if you are seen to deliberately drive through puddles to target pedestrians.
Which bit of law is it?
Under section three of the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is an offence to drive "without reasonable consideration for other persons", and this includes any instance of "driving through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed".
How much could you be fined?
The maximum punishment is a level five fine of £5,000 in instances where driving "amounts to a clear act of incompetence, selfishness, impatience or aggressiveness".
You are more likely to be be issued with a £100 fixed penalty notice and three penalty points if you are caught.
But if you refuse to pay and take the matter to court you could see a maximum fine of £5,000 imposed.
