Woman fails driving test for puddle splash
A driving examiner failed a woman on her test after she splashed a pedestrian by driving through a puddle. Michelle Kelly, 31, from Blackley, Manchester, was told she should have stopped to exchange details with the man, who was waiting at a bus stop. The mother-of-two protested that if she had swerved to avoid the puddle she might have caused an accident.
But it pointed out that motorists should have consideration for others, including pedestrians, who can possibly be drenched by passing vehicles.
Its advice is that, where possible, a driver should avoid drenching pedestrians and a failure to do this would be sufficient grounds for failing a driving test.
The Road Traffic Act contains an offence of "careless, and inconsiderate, driving" and Crown Prosecution Service policy states that bad or inconsiderate driving includes driving through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed.
Courts may impose fines of up to £2,500 for such an offence.
Ms Kelly now faces taking her test again - for the fourth time.

Pssst. The secret's out at KFC. Well, sort of.
Colonel Harland Sanders' handwritten recipe of 11 herbs and spices was to be removed Tuesday from safekeeping at KFC's corporate offices for the first time in decades. The temporary relocation is allowing KFC to revamp security around a yellowing sheet of paper that contains one of the country's most famous corporate secrets.
So important is the 68-year-old concoction that coats the chain's Original Recipe chicken that only two company executives at any time have access to it. The company refuses to release their name or title, and it uses multiple suppliers who produce and blend the ingredients but know only a part of the entire contents.
For more than 20 years, the recipe has been tucked away in a filing cabinet equipped with two combination locks in company headquarters. To reach the cabinet, the keepers of the recipe would first open up a vault and unlock three locks on a door that stood in front of the cabinet.

Florida Man Reports Robbery to Cover Being Scammed
Authorities say a Jasper man afraid to tell his wife how he lost $8,000 told deputies that he had been robbed.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office reports that 27-year-old Mario Oscar Carlos told authorities Friday that he had been robbed at gunpoint while exiting the highway. But when investigators pushed Carlos for details, his story changed.
Carlos told detectives that he gave a Sarasota spiritual healer $8,000 to have it blessed. The healer told him to roll up the money and put it in a white tube sock, but then the healer secretly switched the sock for one with about 50 singles. Carlos discovered the scam on the drive home.

Fish Breaks Teen's Jaw (a slap in the face)
It's a fishing tale that packs a wallop so strong it broke the jaw of a southeastern Arkansas teen and covered him in fish blood and guts.
Seth Russell, 15, of Crossett, was cruising Lake Chicot on a large inner tube towed by a boat when a Silver Asian carp leaped from the water and smacked him in the face. Seth was knocked unconscious.
"He doesn't remember anything at all," the boy's mother, Linda Russell, said last week. "He was laughing, and the next thing he remembers, he is waking in a hospital."
The teen has had oral surgery to wire several teeth together and still experiences back pain that doctors attribute to whiplash from the high-speed collision, his mother said.
He's not the only one who's has a run-in with the "flying" Silver Asian carp.
"They do not fly, but they are quite good jumpers."

48-year-old Prince Andrew threw a royal fit
Prince Andrew threw a right royal strop when he arrived at Heathrow in the rain and staff failed to rush out with an umbrella.
He was so angry that he revved his Range Rover, swung into reverse, mounted the curb backwards and abandoned his vehicle on the pavement so that he could get as close as possible to the terminal without getting wet.
But it turned out the Prince, en route to Vietnam to promote British trade, had gone to the wrong door at the airport's new Terminal 5 on Friday evening.
A Heathrow source said: "The Duke was pretty irate when he arrived. There's a huge canopy at the main door so VIPs can go into the terminal protected from the rain.
"But Andrew pitched up at the back entrance. After waiting for a someone to come out with a brolly, he got impatient. He was fuming, huffing and puffing and red in the face. It was hilarious.
"And the baggage handlers couldn't believe it. They see a few weird things in their work - but the Duke of York taking an ironing board on a trip? That's a first."
