The stupidity of these drivers matches the arrogance of the blue defender driver.

[@mandydandy3738]

They never close these roads off water in the Engine means a rebuild or new this Ford claims hundreds of cars amazing how the public just watch knowing what's going to happen they let them drive in & after ask if they need towing who is charging for this, they all start giving advise why not shout & tell them it's to deep

[@pm7067]

But you've also got to question the stupidity of the onlookers who don't seem to be discouraging the drivers from attempting to cross, or the local authorities who aren't closing off a road that's clearly impassable to the majority of vehicles.

[@Slimboid]

@@mandydandy3738 They don't shout & tell them it's too deep because there's money to be made via youtube I imagine. I'd be interested to hear from the poster about this but of course everyone's schtum right? Why spoil a possible money spinner. Same with the tow-outs I imagine.

[@him5695]

We think we have somehow reached the pinnacle of intelligence when really we are just driven to try stupid things and we learn the hard way, that's how we got where we are, not by being wise, being stupid enough to do stupid things and when it comes off claim we are geniuses when it doesn't we get to laugh and video has made it all better😂😂😂

[@whitemarmite]

are you all seriously demonising the onlookers? theres nothing more than stupid people driving through something they shouldnt, not knowing the limitations of their own vehicles. when a lorry goes under a bridge that theyre too tall for, ripping their roof off. do you blame the onlookers, the council or the person driving the vehicle? this ford for the most part is very passable in any average car, after heavy rain its obviously going to be deeper. hence why there are water markers on the bridge so drivers know the depth, before they enter. its only the stupidity of people not thinking, or not knowing how to drive properly.

[@nas_20.02-7]

Tool? what do you mean?

[@awavey]

tbf the advice not to stop is spot on once youve commited that far to going through the ford, because the moment you stop forward momentum, the bow wave just rolls back, swamps the air intake & engine and its game over, and you cant reverse if the exhaust is under water already. the moment the car starts to float its open the doors time, they wont seal properly anyway so you have to accept getting wet at that stage and you might just make it through.

100% would have shouted to the first one,,, " you can't park there m8". Haha

[@tommyor6622]

I'm sure the police would love to see the clip with blue Defender. Intimidating the Kia to go through and then dangerous driving in the ford. Pretty sure the Kia would have made it too if it didn't get pushed by the water from the Defender.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Apparently he has been reported. That's dangerous and inconsiderate driving because it is illegal to drive through floodwaters in that fashion. A lot of people don't realise that.

the kia would not have made it through - remember its a Kia

[@stormdog9169]

@@halfbakedproductions7887 With 3 million viewers the guy's plate visible, it'd be a heck of a lot stranger if the driver wasn't reported. They probably got so many reports, they had to make a note not to accept anymore.

4:08 Would really suck to fit a snorkel to your land rover just to find out that it wasn't installed properly after you needed it the most...

[@Webfra14]

Rumors say, adding a snorkel to a car doesn't increase the intelligence of the driver. Bummer!

[@a.c.4732]

@@Webfra14 Rumours say , one BMW driver bought a snorkel and fitted it to his face .....😉

[@indiebekonn]

@Retired Bore snorkel is a snorkel. You’re talking about a raised air intake, these are two different things.

[@krashd]

@@indiebekonn No, a snorkel is just a nickname for a raised air intake, they are the exact same thing. Maybe you're thinking of a cold air induction system?

[@indiebekonn]

@@krashd most people associate a snorkel with the fully sealed and safe for water crossings raised air intake while calling it a raised air intake(as Toyota etc does call their intakes from the factory) means it’s there just to keep the air clean, especially with something like an additional cyclone cleaner on top. I mean, technically both can mean the same thing but any knowledgeable person knows the difference.

[@chrisbaker3900]

I particularly appreciate the brand of idiocy that sees some drivers taking the right-hand fork down the river.

[@Electrodoc1968]

Best bit is.. This road is only cutting out around a mile of mostly 60mph dual carriage way. LOL.

[@shootloadrepeat]

Good thing the first driver of the red car left his wipers on. It's super important to have good visibility.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

At 2:40 the BMW is so graceful, a sweet hydrolock marks its progress to a boat.. It was a nice touch to leave it in park, too - better safe than sorry!!

[@sparkyUK]

That recovery guy just dragging the car along the wall. FFS man, what on earth?!

[@rodricktrinidad2928]

I am astounded by the stupidity of some people. Is it their first time going down the road? Where does this road go to that they need to go through it and skip any other route. Pretty much the majority of all these cars are totaled.

[@sykescalvin09]

You can avoid it completely with a 10 minute detour. People are just really dumb and/or impatient.

[@gerryfrobisher4190]

It’s just a short cut round Ollerton no need to go down there after rain

[@almilhouse9059]

It's a 10 minutes or less drive around

[@kristjanveski]

I google mapped it out of curiosity, picking 2 points on either end. It was a 0.2 mile, or 1 minute difference to avoid this

[@awavey]

I reckon some of it must be sat navs claiming its a quicker route or something, theres no way that Royal Mail truck is going that way because it has to

[@Ritari2000]

2:13 Somehow relaxing to watch how cable cuts through the plastic bumper nice and tidily

[@althejazzman]

Yes even the recovery was a disaster.

[@sathish297]

And all the bystanders watching and filming and smiling , not the least bothered to caution anyone. And then there is the rescue truck or jeep waiting nearby for business. And then there is a flourishing mechanic industry fixing broken down cars. They have created two industries A. Entertainment B. Automobile service C. Our mate Tom who posted these videos monetizing them

[@asheland_numismatics]

One minute in, the guy in the red car looks like Mr. Bean 😂

[@thefreedomguyuk]

The red taxi moored up at the pier was the livelihood of the mishap driver. I wonder what exactly made him drive it into waist high water ? If he's an owner, he jumped headfirst into financial depression, if he's an employee, P45 coming up.

[@ecoworrier]

He needed some fenders tied on the side of the boat, I mean car.

[@TheUKArcadeGamer]

He's getting sacked today probably

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

I have to admit I am a bit curious how EV's would do. On one hand they don't have an air intake to get flooded... on the other hand if there is a single lose connection or crack in the battery it would short out.

[@greendrummers]

Spontaneous fire , burning of an EV in water 😂 ??!!

[@oldcrook510]

They all have a high a risk of battery corrosion over time and eventual spontaneous combustion. You don't want to be anywhere near an EV when they catch on fire the flames are not only highly toxic but also very hard to put out. Many people have burned down their own homes with an EV in the garage.

[@greendrummers]

@@oldcrook510 it would make sense that driving in water with an electric vehicle be not recommended... Battery corrosion as isn't the battery very close to the ground? Have they found out in Luton if it was an electric vehicle which started the fire and not a diesel vehicle?

[@radishpea6615]

1:48, depth marker shows 3 foot deep. Should insurance companies pay out for such stupidity? Driver of Blue Defender at 6:48 makes me think, nasty person!

[@foxracerdrew]

I reckon that sorento would have made it if not for the blue defender. I remember as a kid back in the day before the foot bridge was rebuilt, the flood used to go over it where people stand. Then they replaced it with a wooden foot bridge. Seems like it changed again sometime in the past.

[@PoMu4]

May I ask something? If you can’t take this route, do you have to go around the whole UK to get on the other side of this river? I am amazed how many people try getting through this water…

[@RobbertHoek]

No the route that bypasses the ford is litterly 3 miles from 1 side of the ford to the other

[@obiwan2906a]

That first guy trying to steer his car while it's floating away cracks me up...

[@ritfloyd]

People are so cruel. That Kia driver was clearly having second thoughts and the jeep behind him pressured him into moving forward as did the people egging him on. And not one person suggested telling the taxi driver to back off. That's his livelihood. Must have that car crash footage for likes I suppose. What absolute tw@ts.

[@matthewsmith2787]

The driver is the one who has full responsibility. He should know it’s too deep to pass through

[@ritfloyd]

@@matthewsmith2787 Sure, a person committing suicide is responsible for his or her death but it doesn't take much to say don't do it. In fact it is quite the reverse here. The people are cheering them on knowing full well what the consequences are. Zero empathy or decency.

What on earth was the driver of the Fiat 500 thinking! Haha

More than most of the others. She asked and thank god became an honest answer to try to back up. Only an asshole would tell her to get going.
