A woman failed her driving test for accidentally splashing a pedestrian who was standing near a puddle as she drove past.

It’s been a wet few weeks but the examiner still didn’t believe Michelle Kelly when she said she had splashed the pedestrian by accident.

Remarkably, the 31-year-old said the examiner was adamant the incident was technically a crash, and that she should have stopped and exchanged details with the man who was waiting at a bus stop in Blackley, Manchester.

The Highway Code does not forbid the splashing of pedestrians but Rule 144 states that you must not ‘drive without reasonable consideration for other road users’.

Rule 147 says that drivers must ‘be careful of and considerate towards all types of road users’.

Miss Kelly carried on driving when she splashed the man halfway through her third attempt at passing.

She said: “It wasn’t as though I’d deluged this pedestrian. And if I’d swerved to avoid the puddle I might have caused an accident.”

While I was going through my junk mails, I found this from an e-mail from Saks. Designed by Diane von Furstenberg, a former princess, it costs $285. She called it the Philippine Ruffle Blouse.

Murder Trial Calls Dog As Witness

By Sky News SkyNews - 2 hours 45 minutes ago

A courtroom observing a French murder trial could be excused for thinking the presiding judge has gone barking mad.

In what is believed to be a world first, the investigating magistrate has invited a dog to take the stand as a witness.

Scooby will give evidence as he is believed to have been with his 59-year-old owner when she was found hanging from the ceiling of her Paris flat.

Police believe the death was suicide, but her family cry murder - and the only witness to see the alleged crime is on four legs.

It is hoped Scooby can collar the potential perpetrator, having already played a leading role during a preliminary court hearing in Nanteree, a Paris suburb.

He is said to have hounded a suspect, “barking furiously” after being taken out of the kennel and into the witness box by a vet.

French judge Thomas Cassuto praised the mongrel for his “exemplary behaviour and invaluable assistance”.

But lawyers barked back - insisting the bizarre spectacle “proved nothing”.

One said: “Human evidence is unreliable enough, let alone canine evidence.

“Besides, the victim died two and half years ago, which is seventeen dog years! How is the animal supposed to remember that far back?”

A spokesman for the Palais de Justice in Paris confirmed that the appearance was the first time a dog had appeared as a witness in criminal proceedings in France.

He said: “It was a preliminary hearing. The judge will now decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial.”

Here’s the final one… If you have just opened my blog space, you need to look back until you get to the very first album. Have fun Friendster friends!
