With Storm Amy around the corner, and more unsettled weather expected in the coming weeks, drivers have been alerted to a rule concerning driving through puddles.
According to short-term insurance firm GoShorty, splashing pedestrians by driving through puddles could incur a hefty fine.
Phil Evans, director at GoShorty, said: "Getting 12 points on your driving licence in less than three years could get you disqualified from driving.
Other actions that could result in penalty points include sleeping in one's vehicle, which could attract up to 10 points.
Supervising a learner driver from the passenger seat while using a mobile phone could result in up to six points.
