Holy Island Causeway 02,09,17 vehicles crossing while flooded by the sea

[@leadoug1163]

I was there yesterday. I actually got an ice cream from that exact van. Haha

[@oddities-whatnot]

Hope you didnt find seaweed in it

[@mgnoodle2589]

Never underestimate the stupidity of people

[@gharwood1356]

A very good method for ensuring that the bottom rusts away!

[@brentbarnhart5827]

(they dont live where there is salt.... assuming.)

[@gharwood1356]

It's the sea, so salty. I once risked it where there was standing water over it and had terrible corrosion problems ever after!

[@kpadmirer]

The seawater should do wonders for the undercarriages of the cars

[@matttangles2106]

He must really need to sell his ice creams

[@oddities-whatnot]

Probably all melt if he had to wait for the tide to go out

[@NikkiEvernight]

As if you'd risk taking your chances against the north sea is a bloody micra!

[@leadoug1163]

This is footage of the tide going OUT

[@vickielawless]

Driving across a flooding causeway. Natural selection at it's best?

[@chrismccartney8668]

Keeps the ice cream van clean underneath.

[@georgemaund4964]

Don't fancy the chances of these cars at the next MOT.

[@katemcalear9936]

There is no way I could even contemplate driving across this with the road covered in water!! I’d poop my pants!!! Some people need to leave home earlier!!!

[@neiltaylor8198]

Brings back funny memories, when me and the wife visiting holly island in Northumberland, watching out for tide times before crossing , road was half submerged on wone side due to very strong winds not to bad our side , but two blokes in Morgan car with hood down, thank god the goggles done there job , hilarious best laugh in long time, me got back to Scotland a week later , rust clinging to under new car and more sand than a child's sand pitt after steam clean falling down. 😉🤣🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Happy days.

[@monstersince]

crossing times are updated everyday. its like King Kanute in a Beemer or 4wd. its a rapid conversing tide. we like the solitude

[@chembleton]

hard to tell if the tide is coming in or going out... is the Impreza just waiting for it to clear

[@neiltaylor8198]

Chembleton , probably tide coming in , and he's standing next to beloved car ,watching others having a go , him , clock ticking I'm afraid. 😉👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@brentbarnhart5827]

Nothing stops the ice cream truck.

[@raymartin7172]

And every year dozens of cars don't make it and idiots have to be rescued. I'd put up barriers.

[@zerofox7347]

A lot of Island revenue would be lost for the tow and rescue company's.

[@paulroach9764]

@@zerofox7347 unfortunately it is the helicopter that is usually called in. We taxpayers foot the bill.

[@eliz_scubavn]

I think the average is 1-2 a month.

[@gavinbamford1095]

Was the tide going out during this period?

[@spiderrock215]

Long time ago now, but do believe it was coming in.

[@jamesbrook16]

Was the ice cream van selling SALTED caramel ice creams?

[@sallystewart2026]

Obviously these people don't read the danger signs or the tide times why take the risk they must be in a hurry .

[@CallItAHunch]

Tide is on it's way out, ice cream getting over to set up before crowds arrive, no issues there.

[@katherineaustin2477]

Why cross on water

[@ab9840]

So did the car that is stopped (1:41 on the video) ever get to the other side. Since the road is flooded everyone seems to be sticking to the middle. And that guy who stopped seems to be waiting for the road to clear but cars keep coming his way. He then has to move in order to let the truck pass. He goes on but again stops because of on coming cars.

[@neiltaylor8198]

Impreza drivers in shock , watching other drivers, he couldn't imagine driving that slow. 😳🤣🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Darwinism at its finest.

[@stuartauld3193]

ice cream man knows. Tide is going out.

[@stuauld4912]

How many ice cream vans?

[@zerofox7347]

The company must be in the village.

[@1justpara]

I see there is still no cure for *stupid* .

[@TurbulentDreamsStark]

Tide going out

[@Travis_22]

Is it so difficult to bring up tide times on your phone? 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ no it isn't

[@russellphillips6461]

let them get on with it .....fools........

[@frank1672]

How not to pan!

[@GhostOfJulesVerne]

The island has been inhabited for 1500 years but no one has built a bridge. It can't be that hard, come on.

[@fp4man542]

It would be pretty expensive to build such a long bridge, and the volume of traffic probably isn't all that high.

[@spiderrock215]

Think they like the solitude

[@jamesbrook16]

Why? There’s causeway! It’s the Darwin Award test…

[@billynisbet7157]

Eileen and I did this min February

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

What bloody poor camera work. Almost as bad as the drivers attempted crossings.
