[@JulianJLW]

This is Buttsbury Wash, near Ingatestone, Essex. It's a minor road and it's easy enough to go a different way when the river's high, which is why no-one's built a bridge. When the river's low the water all goes through pipes under the road. I used to drive through it weekly when the water wasn't high, but driving through the water kept making my brake calipers seize up a few days later. Most locals knew not to go that way when it had rained a lot. Once, after heavy rain, I saw a car driving along the road leading to the ford at a normal speed, 30-40ish, I guess, and thought "He's going to have to turn round and come back." I waited for him to slow and stop when he saw the water level, but he just cruised on, and suddenly there was a big plume of water as he charged into the ford. He didn't make it, and got water in the car. He said "Well, it wasn't like this last time we came along here!"

As a foreign watcher I don't understand the reasons why these drivers deliberately decide to throw away a lot of their time and money.

[@bengregers]

Essentially, drivers often aren’t paying full attention to the road conditions/haven’t seen the warning signs/don’t know the area/often in a rush/Distracted etc… so they don’t understand what they’re putting themselves into. All it takes is a bit of common sense and observing what’s in front of you to make the right decision.

Funny that when I used to work in a Sainsburys bakery every manager would tell us some version of a story about how a Baker lost their job after giving a customer food poisoning because they came into work after catching a stomach virus from a country they went on Holiday to..... the thing is in the 3 years I worked at the Bakery we had 7 different managers 2 of which had no previous background working in a department handling food (bakery, counters or cafe) yet they all told the same story except the employee in question had a different department, gender and holiday destination in each retelling making it pretty obvious that it's just something they've been told in manager training to regurgitate to their staff as a deterrent for certain behaviours that 11k repair bill almost sounds like one of those stories if it wasn't for this video showing someone doing exactly that.

[@PatLadsChan99]

@Kakarot64. They showed us the invoice for the repair bill and a picture of a delivery van submerged in water. Tbh as ridiculous as some of the stories sound, I'd rather strike fear into someone to prevent them doing something silly. Otherwise It'd only be a matter of time before someone actually did something stupid 😅

[@jonjonesongasstationdickpi6179]

Training? Lol

[@ashyt16turbo]

Even though I wouldn't risk it myself as I know how cars work, but there's several things you can do here. Pop the bonnet and look where your air intake is. Dont let the water go near that. If you have one of these cars with a silly low intake at the front then you can pop the top of the air box off if it's in a high position (most are). This will help prevent water sucking in through the air intake then just drive as slow as possible. Also you could drive slowly in reverse. Keep the revs up by slipping the clutch, this will prevent water entering the exhaust. The water at the front will be pushed away from the grill. After you have driven through dont just floor it. Pull over let the water run off with the engine running and make sure it sounds normal. Any funny noises or running issues call a recovery. DO NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE! If the engine stalls while driving through the water DO NOT TRY AND RESTART THE ENGINE. At this point the water drawn into the cylinders has stalled and hydro locked the engine . If you're lucky you may not have done damage yet, but attempting to start it will. Removing the spark plugs(petrol only) and turning the engine over will expel the water. For anyone wondering what the issue is then search for 'Hydrolocking an engine'

1st, stop and See where the air intake of your car is (how high). 2 Wade the ford if it's high and check the depth against the hight of the air intake. 3 If ok, select first gear, drive really really slow with good revs on the engine. If the hight of the water is anywhere near the hight of the air intake, forget it! Hydraulic lock in the cylinders will permanently ruin your engine.

They're not particularly low (at least not on the 3 series) but they are right at the front behind the grille. If you follow the instructions in the handbook that nobody reads a 3 series can ford 25cm deep water at 5 km/h MAX. If you're a typical BMW driver you don't read the handbook, charge in developing a huge bow wave that completely fills the air intake and SPLAT! Note the 3 series that _did_ make it by going slowly (6:46) keeping the water below the grille, and that was definitely more than the 25 cm they specify as OK.
