A contracting company has fired the driver who was seen on video veering into puddles to soak pedestrians in Sandy Hill.

“This individual is no longer employed with Black & McDonald,” the company said Sunday on its Facebook page, where members of the public posted a series of excoriating messages.

The driver will not face criminal charges.

“We consider the file now closed,” Ottawa police Sgt. Mark Gatien said Sunday. “The outcome from the employer we feel is enough of a lesson learned for him and your readers and viewers.”

Black & McDonald Ltd. did not name the driver, whose actions were caught by a rear-view dashcam of another vehicle driving along King Edward Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. Friday. The video, posted to YouTube by the user “Saif Khan,” showed a white Ford van marked with the Black & McDonald logo soaking people on the sidewalk.

Three times the video shows the driver veering to the right to run through deep puddles near the sidewalk, sending a deluge of water onto pedestrians.

That's kinda funny, but it really is a dick move. Do that in your POV dude.

I believe this was a men's club sport at LSU before they closed off all the roads around campus. No double strapping and no walking near the street on a rainy day.

That’s one of those things that are hilarious when they happen to other people but makes you want to kill someone if it happens to you.

I was wanting what could they have charged him with anyway, but saw it was in Canada where there are probably laws against rudeness

That’s what I thought of when I saw the OP. That used to be fun, especially at the bus stops. Good times.

I would like to know what his demeanor is like when he does that. Is he just nonchalantly steering his car into those puddles with a bored look on his face, just another day in the office? Is he still doing it while talking on his cell like it’s just a natural thing for him to continue doing like using his blinker?

Or is he all amped up, chugging a Red Bull and hooping and hollering as he flies down the road.

Not sure why that makes him a "boss". Some low self esteem lightweight who needs his arse kicked is more like it.
