Probably, if you're passing a cyclist fast and close enough to drench them you prob aren't driving safely at all which is more serious.

It’s against the law to drench a pedestrian? 😲

if you walked up to someone in the street and threw a bucket of water over them you'd expect consequences surely? A car just changes the technical name of the offence.It's also incredibly bad practice to blast through puddles anyway, pavement/pedestrians or not. Can total your engine, you can lose traction, you don't know how deep the water is and you don't know what other hazards such as glass/ditches might be below it.

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is illegal to drive "without reasonable consideration for other persons". The law also bans "driving through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed".
