Biggest reason why these people fails is because they are going through it too fast

[@ChickenYale]

Wrong. They're going too slow.

[@iowasucks9494]

@@ChickenYale the faster you go the higher the water will rise over the front end. Go really slow and you’ll just soak the oil pan

[@bmwsincekid]

You shouldnt go through it at all

[@_DutchFox_]

​@@bmwsincekid no problem going through it, but you should go really really slow, or even backwards. Then there is really no problem. But the big problem is that they create an big wave by driving as an complete idiot

[@_DutchFox_]

@@ChickenYale only if you are an idiot you go through the water as fast like they do. Take it really really slow so you don't create an wave. Even better is doing it backwards

The Merc went from powerful executive saloon to 1950s diesel locomotive in 10 seconds. That car lost a lot of magic smoke that day.

[@aleccooks]

Opening a garage within 20 meters of Rufford ford would be a golden business oportunity! Youll be doing 10 oil changes a day and selling air/oil filters left and right!

[@radiocontrolled9181]

Oil changes? Hehe that's very oversimplifying it!!! Once hydrolocked and turned (via electric starter), the engine damage goes FAAARR beyond an oil change and filter !!! Bent connecting rods need to be replaced, stripping the engine down and putting it together again.

[@henktulp4400]

You know what is business??? Make a workshop on both sides!!!!! And make the costumers pay the bill on the other side....

[@archstanton5603]

At least the Morris Oxford had running boards so the driver didn't get his feet wet - wonderful

[@HughzieTube]

And fixed with a rag! Can't do that with modern cars.

[@Nathan93Baker]

That Merc driver sounded a little too happy. Probably knows it will get replaced for a newer model.

[@pilninggas]

It might not - insurance companies can decline to pay out if flood/water damage was avoidable.

[@marcelk3847]

@@pilninggas as an insurance i would never pay for these df‘s. Instead i would look for the video evidence on yt lol

[@supertreme5559]

@@pilninggas well its part of the road. wich is a 50kmh speed limit, and there is no sign that there is water there. he would get insurance claims 100% from that. he would either get new engine or a totaled car and get the money for it

[@pilninggas]

@@supertreme5559 pretty sure there are signs on both approaches which indicate there is a ford. Whether anyone likes it or not insurance companies will avoid paying out if they can.

[@Rapscallion2009]

@@supertreme5559 It's in Britain, and it's 40 MPH which is around 65kmh. The insurance companies are not looking for "reasons" to not pay out. They're looking for "pretexts" not to pay out. They want to say to you "unfortunately your car was damaged by X reason, therefore we cannot pay out". If you don't accept the brush-off they will low-ball and see where it takes them. Some people will just accept this and some will not- at which point it's become a negotiation about how much they're going to pay out, when and how. All the time they're playing for time (they still have the money, and all the time in the world). Maybe you get fed up and leave it. Maybe you decide to accept 50% now so you can get a new car to stay mobile and keep your job? - maybe you ultimately instruct an attorney, at which point they agree to pay out minimally and you need to pay your attorney. If you think this is all unfair, imagine how you'd feel if you agreed to replace a mate's car when he crashed it - only to see him deliberately driving like an idiot and guffawing "nah, I ain't worried - that mug is gonna pick up the tab if I stack it!".

[@weaselman24]

Insurance companies are probably paying someone to make a note of all the licence plates

[@jonclassical5710]

It never stops amazing me that drivers will tippy toe up to the edge and dip a wheel in...then FLOOR IT to go through.......the secret is to tippy toe slowly through the water as slow as possible, unless you have a lifted truck or SUV........even then it pays to go slow...I liked the guy on the motorcycle who skipped the water and rode over the foot bridge.....Cheers Tom, love your efforts!

[@electropentatonic]

You're right, slow is the key. Even jeeps are very prone to hydrolock with the smallest wake

[@ginskimpivot753]

@@electropentatonic Slow is indeed the key, but if you think the water level's near your wheel centres, back out. It's only 2.8 miles to go round. An exhaust will cope with being a couple of inches under water, but the bigger problem is that water caught by the back of the engine bay can only go straight up, where it's instantly sucked into the engine, and may well also get into the little insulator sleeves on electrical contacts. This ford should be signed with a warning that anything over 5 inches at 5 MPH will probably cause complete failure on conventional saloons/h.backs. That said, some of these jokers really do need to learn the hard way.

[@anubaral]

slow is indeed the key unless you have a opel astra j wich sucks water because of an elbow on the air filter housing wich is located about the same height of the driveshaft wich is like what? 15cm... so yea, good luck with that.

[@schrodingerscat8621]

Here’s a silly question: usually the pick up for the air filter housing is pointed forward and down low, what if they simply went through in reverse slowly? Wouldn’t that improve the chances of not sucking water in the engine?

[@electropentatonic]

Most of these cars would make it if they just creep across.

[@jimmy66603]

It would breakdown in reverse cos the water would block the exhaust

[@DumbCunt]

Did you know there is an exhaust on a car? Crazy I think.

[@schrodingerscat8621]

@@DumbCunt Are you aware of the laws of positive pressure? While the engine is still running more pressure is pushing out of the exhaust then the ability for water to flow into the exhaust. Did you skip science class that day?

[@darcdog3269]

As soon as the water goes over the bonnet it's done

[@russcatt5952]

It has to be another way...has to!

[@mhvdm]

I just can not understand how people do not understand that you have to drive slow through it to avoid the wave at the front pushing water into the engine???

[@akiravecchi8426]

Sorry for the perhaps dumb question: But going backwards would be safer to not feed water in the air intakes?

[@ArcTrooper1773]

It would provide a much lower inlet for water via the exhaust, though. There would be some exhaust pressure, briefly, until it stalled.

[@skylined5534]

Rule of thumb for most modern cars going through this ford, if the water gets up the level of the headlights then you're walking home with wet feet 😂

[@stevenmoran4060]

If you are stupid enough to drive through deep water, make sure you have breakdown cover and recovery too.

You never just hit water of more then half a foot depth at speed, especially when virtually all intakes are placed in or around the front grill, create a bow wave and push thru, i grew up in a city and i knew that so no excuse or sympathy for these people, but yeah on the flip side keep doing it, keeps people like me in work 😉

[@kanat91]

In my country, the levels of the water on many roads are much higher than this, and we can pass it easily. In this clip their engines were broken because they drove too fast into the water.

[@unicyclingistheshit]

I thought it was because they were going too slowly. The quicker you get across the less time you have for your car to break. If you go fast enough you can aquaplane across the top of the water

[@kanat91]

@@unicyclingistheshit I think that is not true because the aquaplane will let water get inside the car engine. Just a bit of water can fail the engine, if it pass through the air filter. So move the car slowly will not lift the water level too high. And the car can pass. In my country, Thailand, during raining season the water level is higher than the water level in the clip above, everyone move their car slowly and the car is still ok.
