I have to admit it amazes me the way people drive into standing water. Even if you are in a big 4wd if you see water splash up you have done it wrong. The splash sends the water up and the engine sucks it in. I had to explain to a guy in a lexus that he had hydro locked his engine after he thought it would be funny to drive full speed through a deep puddle at the grocery store parking lot. He was shocked that this could happen.

The silver Landrover at 3.20 was absolutely perfect. Gently accelerate into the water to create the bow wave, then keep the speed up. The Hyundai 2 cars later showed that lower riding cars can do as well. Too many people too fast, create a splash then the reaction floods the intake.

[@guspolly]

Boggles my mind that they have marked ford crossings in the UK. I’ve *never* seen one in the US. If a bridge is too much, they’ll build an embankment for the road and put a culvert in for the waterway. If some sort of dry crossing can’t be built, the water stays uncrossable. They tell you here to *never* drive into *any* depth of standing water because you can’t tell how deep it is or if the roadway’s been washed out or not. The watchword is “Turn around, don’t drown”

There must be modern construction and maintenance involve in building the base of ford,the slope for entering, and asphalt for the road. You can see Some driver even take a wrong route, proceed to enter the river, and it is really bumpy with normal river bed such as gravel, rock and sand.

[@eddyr3691]

@@winters4960The asphalt stops before the crossing itself, which transitions to concrete for the full length at this particular ford. Concrete has been around a very long time. The design of the ford will have been set long before modern construction methods, and this rural route (road) established long ago. It will have been made for any traffic that could cross it, which at the time would likely have been horse and cart. The design of very modern low cars with their low air intakes and complex electronics doesn't factor into it, nor does the massive boom in vehicle ownership in the last few decades. Locals will have continued using the original track to their benefit since it was first established centuries back, and the immediate area evolved naturally over time. There are buildings along the route, a nearby mill which is a particular feature at this location. As to cars going the wrong way, the few examples ive seen is one idiot driving fast and aquaplaning, and another intentionally in his 4x4 to get a run up to splash the onlookers.

The best way is just to turn around!

He still probably got water on the cabin floor

[@johnd9357]

@@madmax-tg3vo what is the purpose of the Ford? I don’t understand why they don’t just build a simple arch bridge over the water. Or is it that the water being at this level is an uncommon occurrence?

7:28 I hope the drivers of the Countryman and F-Pace saw that. The 2 flooded crossovers/suvs vs a little hatchback, a Corsa of all small hatchbacks for the pair of possibly badge snobs. :)

Ouch, dragging that mini whilst it was in gear! I can't get my head around these people taking £00,000's worth of cars through it!

What’s with the mini, why are the wheels locked up and it has to be dragged onto the recovery truck?

Wait at 5:18 I thought the Mondeo driver was spot on, but it still broke down afterwards? Was it bad luck or was something off in the technique that I'm not aware of?

[@mohammadzaman8713]

@@madmax-tg3vo thanks for the reply! Great to hear that everything was ok afterwards bc I was a bit rattled thinking a crossing could be so well executed yet it could still damage a car! Confidence has been restored😁 Also is this ford on a road where lots of non local people go through, leading to most of the break downs?

[@Durzel]

Black Mondeo driver was decent, went in and started a wave then gently followed it out. Water didn’t even reach the grill. Masterclass.

[@gepwxaqdfsidsesg1548]

@@Durzel it does depend on the car though. One of my Peugeots had the inlet to the airbox quite high, above and behind the wheel arch liner. It was maybe two feet off of the ground, however it also had an inlet grill low down on the front bumper next to the front fog light. If you went really slowly it would be okay but I'm pretty sure that with any speed at all that inlet would have just acted like a scoop and pushed water up over the wheel arch liner to where the inlet was. Old cars with a big pancake filter on top of the engine seemed like a better design to me. I have no idea how it is with a Mondeo.

I find it rather ironic that a van with "Team Knowhow" somehow ends up in their predicament.
