Great drone footage here! I was out paddle boarding on a high tide the other day and ended up helping the RNLI rescue a car that got stuck which made for an interesting video! 🌊🚙🏄🏼

[@ElectronicPleasure]

All that salt water, rusty mess is what these cars and trucks will be 😭

[@vivienclogger]

Has anyone ever thought about putting up a counter at each end of the Strood, numbering the idiots who break down every time they chase a high tide? Just saying....

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

Mersea island is the Lindersfarm/ Holy island of the south & is the 2nd longest in the UK.

[@susanbond9702]

Simply buy a Tide Time Table....and arrive at the Strood at least one hour before high tide......simple !

[@katemcalear9936]

Oh my days!! If I broke down with all that water around me they’d have to bring an undertaker never mind a tow truck!!!! I’m a wimp- I’d never risk it!! The lorry at the end looks like it’s swimming!!! Dearie me!!!

Nice video Craig! :-)

[@hasaheadachenow]

Salt water. Omg that can’t be good for the vehicle, and what if the roads washed out under that water?! It must get repaired a lot!

"All right boys.. Get yer waders on!"

[@paulbutterworthbillericay]

What time of year would the High Tides be? Spring tides?

[@danhardy1536]

All year round

[@MummaBear]

Spring tides are higher. In this location it means it takes longer for the road to clear.

[@mattharte7334]

Salt water is a killer. Never buy a car from Mersea!

[@Cwis444]

wdym not mersey's fault

[@Cwis444]

Same as buying a car from Felixstowe

[@TheBensmith22603]

Is this in essex

[@craigmoorcroft950]

Hi, yes it's Mersea Island near Colchester

[@hubby-tubadventures01]

@@craigmoorcroft950 Strood, I thought this was Kent at first tll watching. Didn't realise that it referred to the road name.

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

Why are the authorities not putting an end to this dangerous nonsense once and for all by raising the level of the causeway way above the high tide level & why are the people who live in this area not campaigning for this to be done ? Do they derive pleasure by committing these dangerous acts? There may be costs involved but in the long term would be far less than that caused by the salt water damage to vehicles & the endless drain on the emergency services who have to resuce those & their vehicles who get caught out by the tide.In my opinion & that of the majority this would be money well spent & should come out of the national flood defence budget which is for this very purpose.

Not only trying but succeeding we made it even past a bloke broke down

[@hasaheadachenow]

Don’t like the loud music but like the video

[@essexseafishing4396]

nice to see the flashy light and depth signs that some idiot wasted our money on is working predictably well.

[@MarcusTDM]

Am I a little bit evil or did anyone else feel a little bit satisfied when they saw the broken down car! Ha ha ha.

[@RC.41]

MarcusTDM No, that is narcissistic

[@MrPlannery]

Nope. Just like I wouldn't if I saw you broken down in a layby on the A12.

[@gailcrook4908]

foolish, just a flimsy wooden fence to stop them going over in to the sea

[@toogie555]

Looks like only one car broke down,,,so what's all the fuss about? The ones who made it weren't so crazy...maybe smart. You can skip the dramatic music (annoying)
