It never rains but it pours – fines drivers could face in wet weather

From splashing through puddles, soaking pedestrians and faulty windscreen wipers to not using lights and being too far under speed limit could see motorists thousands of pounds out of pocket

The UK weather has entered a period of heavy rainfall, which is expected to continue for the next 10 days at least. Alongside the misery of grey dreary skies, Brits have one more rain-related risk to worry about - fines for incorrect driving in the downpours.

According to a motoring expert at ChooseMyCar.com, one of the UK's leading car marketplace, there are various fines that can be served to UK drivers during a rainy period.

It includes splashing pedestrians when driving through a puddle, driving too fast for the conditions, or having low-quality tyres or windscreen wipers - some could lead to a fine of up to £10,000.

Nick Zapolski, motoring expert and founder of ChooseMyCar.com, said: "Careless driving in wet weather can pose a genuine danger to you and those around you, so it's not a surprise that there are offences that could land you such a hefty fine. Though, if you want to avoid such damning costs, be extra careful while behind the wheel - or don't drive if you feel it's too unsafe."
