Drivers tackle flood water in Gloucestershire as Tewkesbury nearly cut off

[@davidgirvan6007]

FS SLOW DOWN if you’re gonna drive through flood water! Why do so many clowns think it’s better to drive fast, causing a huge bow wave which floods your engine bay, destroying your engine and then your interior. Then the rest of us have to pay through increased insurance premiums.

[@markhale4450]

This happens most winters and is why you shouldn’t build on a flood plain.

[@martina5296]

Building roads higher would help also. Can't believe roads are built declining in areas that food even a little bit. Makes no sense and a waste of money.

[@steves5382]

I worked for the EA, terrible decision making when asked about flooding. We could hear the boats scraping on the bottom of the river due to lack of river management. And yes building on flood plains, ha who would have thought it. You have never seen fear until someone is desperate for sandbags to stop water.

@@martina5296yes, I can’t get out because of a dip in the road!

[@keithsmith6932]

All those cars stuck in the water will likely be write-offs. Hydraulic lock sucking water into the car engine cylinders and ending up with bent con-rods. Car interior and electics damaged by dirty water.

[@martina5296]

Turn around, don't drown. Just because some cars are getting by doesn't mean the roads are safe. Besides, that much water in the engines isn't going to be good. Corrosion will happen.

[@anjou6497]

SMH, taking the long route round may save your car engine, or even your life. Avoid driving under small bridges in a dip. The water can be much deeper than it looks, but people still risk it.....😖🙏☕️

[@kr8882]

This is the road to get on to the motorway.

[@rustandoil]

Good video..... I like a bit local stuff 😊

[@TheBorzoilover]

This is absolutely awful.

[@jonbrown-v6h]

Well is this what you get for building on the flood plain at Walton Cardiff , Tewkesbury council take note but they will never admit it was a mistake to allow all the development and continue to try and cover the rest in housing .

[@user-ng1yy2yy3o]

It flooded before Walton Cardiff even existed as an estate….

[@raymorris952]

Well 2024 is starting off well ! Happy bloody New Year.

[@Canzandridas]

Damn I guess if there are cars already moving you could go behind one but I would not move around there without being able to see the ground lol

[@Mongchong_123]

Nice footage!!

[@Weejie2011]

Dr Foster was right.

[@LettyK]

Haha ... love it ..

[@CharlesDickson-nv2ol]

Know the wading depth limit for your vehicle and drive through at a walking pace.

[@BobBenz55]

Hose pipe band to follow soon 😇

[@leeg131313]

That a35 owner is in for a nasty bill

[@sassythesasquatch4425]

mercs always design their intakes to be low. so much for "German" engineering. Bet you the a35 owner didnt even check where their intake was before going through ford

[@davidgirvan6007]

They probably don’t even know their car needs air to run!

[@LettyK]

Why do ppl keep driving through flood water and then wonder why they get stuck??🤦‍♀️

[@fenrichlee2867]

I wonder who that gloating goole was shouting 'Idiots' was.

[@harryboy3305]

That goole is 200% correct

[@a44489]

Sure the world wont miss it. New ocean

[@martynharding3892]

Ohh my daaayyyzzz.. I love how history repeats it's self... People of Tewkesbury "remember 2007", just saying...been there done it recovering the cars out of the floods... Kaaachhhiiiinnnnngggg.. 💷💷💷💷💷💷👍😂

[@koolracerguy]

I thought this was a carmeet 😂

[@a44489]

Bye south see ya on the otherside nothing but bad memories to be washed away.

[@aungaung6671]

😁👍👍👍

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Don't people realise they can blow up their engines driving through that amount of water? EV's don't like water either, they can be ruined forever.

[@CptAngelKGaming]

lmao EVs couldn't care less about water. Sealed electronics and no air intake. You can literally submerge some of them. Only danger is to the interior.

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Nope, a woman's brand new EV was parked outside a hotel earlier in 2023, got drenched overnight. In the morning, she was told her car was a write off. The story was published. @@CptAngelKGaming

[@davidgirvan6007]

EV batteries have cooling fan intakes so they’d also be advised to avoid floodwater I’d suggest!

[@FullThrottleRacing535]

@@CptAngelKGaming you will absolutely destroy your cooling systems on ur batteries in floods in EV
