It was inevitable that the police would eventually turn up. I've been watching from the start of these channels and the driving has got stupidly worse

[@TheDanzomanzo]

@@Meltaholics I'm a millennial and he's right either way. I've seen a few skids just before entry in past videos. A car overturns in the middle of that ford on a moderately wet day, and that's game over for all inside it.

[@DS-rb1su]

Yes they definitely have. It’s gone from fun to stupid and potentially fatal with the speeds that they approach. Especially when there are sometimes children being allowed to play on the waters edge. Which is completely irresponsible. Only a matter of time

[@RobertBlow]

Can't blame the police for turning up, things were getting dangerous. What did people expect, the minority always spoil the fun. I like watching for the breakdowns personally not idiots who think they are racing drivers.

[@bergeracvandamme]

If people want to take personal risks driving *at or below the speed limit* into a ford then let them. If people are speeding then obviously that's a different matter.

[@markwright3161]

​@@bergeracvandamme Hitting deep water at even 30 or 20 mph could see it aquaplane into the spectators or into an oncoming vehicle not spotted because of the corner on entry! Speed limits are not accurate for the constantly changing hazards a vast majority of the time and are not representative of what's safe and what's not. Look up advanced driving, limit points, etc. If the level taught by RoSPA and the IAM were made the minimum there would be no need for speed limits anywhere, yet the maximum safe speed for a specific set of conditions, vehicle and driver combination wouldn't change regardless of whether it was a 20, 30, 60 or 100 mph speed limit. You could make it legal to do 100 mph here and it would still be lethal do even think about entering even relatively shallow water at anything over 10 mph (be it lethal for your engine, spectators, other drivers or yourself) and every driver doing so would still be prosecutable for driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving with the complete absence of a speed limit, the point where drivers should be prosecuted for the speed they're driving, when it is specifically driving too fast for the conditions, not just over what some group of politicians thought would look good on a sign to pretend they're doing something meaningful about bad driving. If a car is fast enough, you could safely accelerate up to 50 mph between the ford and the curve to the right beyond that idiotic sign saying 'it's 30 for a reason', but with the closed view of that corner you'd probably not want to be going around there at more than 40 mph in case you need to slow or stop for an oncoming truck, slower in a larger vehicle that takes longer to stop and would absolutely need to if you met another of similar size, by which point even 30 mph is too fast for the conditions for such a vehicle. If you start driving as if speed limits don't exist you'd become a much better driver. Instead of looking at a sign for the number some idiot thinks is good and checking if you match it, you'd pay far more attention to parked cars, driveways, etc and thinking 'what could appear from there or behind that that I would need to avoid, can I drive around it or stop in the space I have' and suddenly you'll not be going as fast when it counts. I, as you can probably tell, have little consideration for what the signs say, yet when I have had a child run out in front of me from a parked car as they were trying to catch a school bus on the other side of the road, I stopped as gently as if I was stopping for a changing traffic light with traffic following close behind. Another little fact for you. In 1930 all speed limits were abolished, so if you could achieve 80mph in/on whatever vehicle you had, on that basis alone it was legal to do so through towns and everywhere else. With this fact in mind, how do you think the road deaths statistics changed for that year? If speed limits are so important to safety like you seem to suggest, then a vast increase in the death toll would be expected? Well, deaths actually fell that year by around 800. 800 fewer people died on the road in the year immediately after all speed limits were removed. Like I said above, without limits you don't look to signs for 'safe speed', you look at the conditions and solely drive according to them. This would require more education now as decades of 'don't exceed XX' has replaced proper driving education, which is likely why you have videos of people plowing into thick fog on motorways at 70 mph and the inevitable huge pileups. There is nothing in driving education here for how vehicles react in different weather and surface conditions except some hideously inaccurate numbers in the highway code for braking and reaction distances and stupid 'only a fool breaks the two second rule' to 'cover' this subject. The vehicle and driver combo even in identical conditions have vastly different stopping distances, brand new vs broken in vs worn tyres and brakes, how many people and how much stuff is in the car, even how much fuel is in the tank all increase or decrease stopping distance, never mind when the road's wet, dusty, mucky, frozen, recently been resurfaced, rough, has significant tramlines from heavy traffic or adverse camber. All this has a huge impact on following distance, following a lighter car you need to leave more space as they will stop sooner, following a heavier vehicle you technically don't need to leave as much, but behind a large vehicle you need to leave more to ensure you're visible to its driver and can see past it to see the potential hazard it will need to slow for instead of only reacting to their emergency stop to start braking yourself. Germany has mandatory skidpan training in the basic test, what I think should be the case here too, but even that isn't specific enough. You need to gain experience in a controlled environment of what worn tyres react like compared to new, likewise for brakes, different types of surfaces and how different vehicles and loading affects how you are able to stop.

@@markwright3161 weird how none of the cars hydroplaned then huh? Also if you want to stand and record a puddle all day it's ur own fault if u get hit.

[@markwright3161]

@@ThatOneGuyWithTheEye Plenty have noticeably, and plenty more will have done that isn't obvious on camera. Standing next to water increases your chances of getting wet, but it's perfectly legal for someone to walk from on side to the other without any intent to film or be involved, yet poor timing could see them be killed by an out of control driver just as easily as someone who has been standing there for weeks. It isn't their fault if they get hit, and standing near the ford doesn't make it their fault either. They can't control how drivers approach the water so it's fully the responsibility of the driver to ensure they don't lose control and kill someone. If a car lost control going through there and hit a lamppost, sign or wall, would it be the sign's fault for being stationary where their car happened to go? Of course not. The driver has the rwsonsability to not hit stationary road furniture, same goes for pedestrians. The only time the pedestrian plays a part in being hit is if they dove into the path of the car as it approached, something none of the spectators are doing here.

Have to prove exactly what speed they were going for anything to stick here in america. That being said with that amount of water? Not worth stationing police there or around town for this… few people going explosively fast will always be a thing, regardless if police are stationed there or not.

The amount of comments saying 'The police are ruining the fun' is laughable. If you think that way then you really need to think for a moment. How can you think it is acceptable for drivers to exceed the speed limit on a public road and risk putting other people in harm's way? My guess is that if you think it's harmless then you've been fortunate enough to never have been involved or experienced a traffic collision. I've seen quite a few and some have been truly horrible to witness. If you have and you still think that way then there's something wrong with you. I get the channel, it's meant for fun. I love watching people drown their vehicles when the water level is high but due to the popularity of the channel there are many idiots driving extremely dangerously for attention.

Exceeding the speed limit on a public road? I've no problem with that. Putting others in harm's way? If the 'victims' are there of their own volition, the onus is on them. If not, it's inexcusable. I too have seen brain matter, spinal columns and giblets exposed as a result of RTCs. Not pretty!

Give up you melt.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

word has got out - - - (not surprised) What's the official speed limit along there?

[@timlawrence35]

30mph

[@pretzelhunt]

seems like it drops from 45kph to 25

[@roadmonitoroz]

@@pretzelhunt There is a sign on the bridge. Look at the video as the camera turns.

[@pretzelhunt]

@@roadmonitoroz I know I typed that before I could read it. Besides 30 kph sounds more appropriate, and it's Britain, which is famously metric.

[@pretzelhunt]

@@nedseagoon5101 weird. they use KPH on the other continents too.

[@lombe-andrewmusonda17]

These videos are so therapeutic

[@SomersetEmergencyResponses999]

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Nobody-hk8wj]

I've been watching these for ages now, haven't realised it's a 15min drive from me...

[@whos-your-mate]

I just love that this is a channel on KZbin! So British 👌👍

[@cameronleehorace]

This looks a great community event, sponsored by the Police of course.

[@dandare2586]

I Googled Shay Proctor, first thing that came up was disqualified as a director by court order......& a complete 🔧 according to this video. ..

[@leskennedy]

Who would have thunk it ?

[@CAESARbonds]

There is a special paint that can be used to treat the little remote toy car. With it it will work under water

[@009ADVENTURES]

without a doubt the best one was the ftx kanyon rc , love it 👍

[@MaNNeRz91]

[@Lew699]

Back in the day it used to be the best thing ever , I remember standing there as kids waiting for a van or something to go by and splash us all with water and we would all cheer ! Police ruining the fun like always!

[@andypalin3287]

Go get 'em boys (and girls!) 😂🎸🤘😎

[@tormodi5925]

Someone’s gonna crash properly some day..

[@Mapantz1]

I have been secretly enjoying these videos from the back seat, so to speak. I live very close to two fords, and as kids, me and friends would always ride to them and watch cars go through all day. Fortunately, there is/was no way cars could go through the fords at speed, due to awful road conditions both side. I'm no snowflake, but it is getting a little concerning at the speeds some of these cars drive through this ford... it'll ruin the innocent fun of the spectators and the KZbin viewers because of it. I wouldn't know for certain, but now the old bill have started watching, some might put forward a case for either a speed camera, or even large speed bumps on either side. I hope these videos continue, but I also hope that the few speeders slow down.. A: For the safety of spectators and B: Because it is funny when the unsuspecting ones drive through it slowly, when it's flooded, and then they're just sat there.

👏👏👏👏❤👏👏👏👏

[@Teribus13]

Can't agree more. I'm the same, I live near two River fords (Newmill, near Hawick in the Scottish Borders) which, likewise, can't be approached at speed because of the road either side (narrow single track and steep on approach to the water, plus the road surface is really damaged these days), but they're still fun to drive through and watch others driving through. But some of the speeds on these Rufford videos are well beyond dangerous. By all means, make a bit of a splash to give the kids a thrill, have fun yourself, even splash the cheering spectators on the bridge (which, although technically illegal, they clearly enjoy) but don't go at speeds where you could easily lose control and plough into the kids.

[@amanaxus]

Love this channel 😍💪

[@beanoyip06]

The perpetrators deserves it… hope these drivers slow down from now on..

[@mickclarke5741]

Perpetrators 🙈🙈🙈 The only dangers here are the danger of water in the engine or a damaged front bumper 🙈 Just another cash grab from the so called law enforcement 😤 Called them to a break in at my property a few months back and they couldn't even get anyone out for weeks! Absolute joke

[@maik1982]

that road make a lot of money for the garages and the police😉

[@chrismlarge1]

I wonder what the duck kill count is so far?
