I live in the driest state (South Australia) of the driest continent. Literally one actual river in our whole state (and our state is 4 times the size of Great Britain - we have, at most, 50% of the rainfall). Even I know not to drive through flood water that is fast flowing or that deep, and if I had to, it would be at less than walking pace.

I find it odd that these days with all this information at our fingertips, people know nothing. Back in the 1970s, when I started driving, everybody knew how to drive through flood water. Same as they knew how to drive on ice and show, heck tyre chains were common. I'm amazed so many think foot down and it'll be fine. Especially with all the electronic stuff on modern cars.
