After a heavy rainfall, you don't want to be that motorist who hits a puddle and dumps water on an unsuspecting pedestrian as you pass by.
If you are, it could cost you.
On Friday, someone behind the wheel of a Black & McDonald Ltd. van was caught by a rear-view dashcam of another vehicle as they veered into large puddles in what appeared to be a deliberate attempt to soak pedestrians along King Edward Ave. in Ottawa.
The video quickly made the rounds on Youtube and social media, with many going straight to the contracting company's Facebook page to demand the driver face disciplinary action.
At one point Ottawa police had even considered charging the driver with public mischief.
In the end, no charges will be filed but the driver is now out of a job.
"We apologize to everyone impacted by the recent incident of unacceptable driving by one of our drivers in Ottawa. We want to reassure the public that safety is our #1 priority. This individual is no longer employed with us" Black & McDonald wrote on Twitter Sunday.
