My sister crashed 3 cars in 1 year the insurance company said we won't insure you and didn't give her a check for the totaled vehicle. She didn't have the money to buy another car and she couldn't afford to pay for exorbitant high risk car insurance so she was forced to live without a car. She couldn't get the job she really wanted because she didn't have reliable transportation and was forced to take a lower paying job in a big city with public transit. I feel bad for her 10 years later she is still living paycheck to paycheck in the crappy job, she is still afraid to drive, she can only go where the bus/train goes and when she needs to move we have to step in and help her. We have tried giving her advice but she just gets mad/won't speak to us and we have come to the realization that she needs to want to change although it is hard to see her miserable. The point of all this is yes incidents like this can eliminate the driver.

[@ian020881]

For those who don't know how to ford a situation like this: a) Assess the depth of the water vs your air intake height, add snorkel if necessary. b) Drive slowly into the water in first gear. c) Do NOT accelerate past your own bow wave & keep the engine rpm high enough to keep water out of the exhaust pipe. d) Exit the water slowly and allow water to drain away, keep the engine running to allow the spark plugs and leads to boil dry. At a later date: e) Strip the interior of the car and allow everything to dry or humidity and rust will set in. If you're planning on fording again, bin the interior. f) Replace all the axle and differential oils, (unless you fitted fording pipes to the axle vents before you got wet).

[@robertovers1863]

you don't need a bow wave ! for most of the video the water was not even at bumper height ! just drive slowly

[@BlyatimirPootin]

In other words don't ford. Gotcha

[@flying_free]

I really enjoyed what that little red car did at the end, they came flying down the hill, shut the engine off BEFORE they hit the water, used their momentum to get most the way across the water and once they came to a complete stop and the wave of water stopped, they simply started the car and drove out, not even a little white smoke came out the tail pipe.

I've watched loads of these and I still can't get my head around why people take the risk with something as expensive and as inconvenient to lose as a car, particularly when there's a depth gauge right there. And why does no one think "Why are all these people taking videos of me?", as if that would be a clue that something bad is about to happen.

[@Outland9000]

What even better is the other way is only a couple miles up the road past Maccies. It's literally a two minute drive.😂

[@Daza-La]

Genuinely perplexed too. My mate introduced me to these videos a few years back and I'm still as confused today as I was then as to why people just drive into water.

[@tonyth9240]

Because for some reason this road with deep water is not locked off in any way, and I don't see any special warning signs either. So, no proper warnings, it seems, and they might not be able to judge the depth properly. If there are warning signs I just didn't see, well then it's a different story. But still, just close the road while it's almost guaranteed to drown cars...

i used to haul cars out of our local floods, It never ceases to amaze me that people are surprised their car gets stuck. The usual culprit is water through the air filter hydro-locking the engine often bending con-rods, sometimes blowing headgaskets and once even bending the crankshaft as well. I will not even take my car through deep puddles as even 75mm of water can damage the brakes and only show up weeks later as a failed brake component. Too many fools and their money are easily parted........ Great video.

[@danhirtle7825]

I love how even the rigs which make it across end up pulling over into the "lane of shame" off to the side. That's because it takes a few seconds for the water to migrate from the air box through the throttle body and intake manifold into the cylinders where it will NOT compress and WILL bend a rod or two because...well, physics...

Back in the day, air cleaner intakes used to have a 10/12 mm hole at the top, just before it entered the filter housing. That made it a lot harder for the engine to suck up water (as water is heavier than air). But that no longer seems to be a thing. It should be as most air intakes now are quite low down. It isn't all about the speed, as this vid shows, it is about the water level reaching your air intake.

[@TheSunnyHands]

well the problem here is not always the speed, thats true. but in like 90% of the time. As you can see: if you drive slowly and konsistant through it, its quiet fine. E.g. the Mazda did it and its a very low car. He made it without problems. But some people whether drive too fast into there so the water just splashes all over the car. or they just give gas or break in the middle of the water, what shouldnt be done as well

[@Rumouruk]

@@TheSunnyHands Most cars have the air intake low down, so no matter how slow you drive, it will suck up water. The first car, the Mercedes is such a car. There are very few now with an air intake at the top of the engine bay. Water going over the bonnet is not bad, it is sucking water into the engine that is bad.

[@TheSunnyHands]

@@Rumouruk well also the elecricity is in the area around the motor and water+electricity is quiet bad. so you should provide not getting water over your front. If I know correct (im not sure about it) most air intakes are still pretty much right below the bonnet

[@Rumouruk]

@@TheSunnyHands most air intakes are lower in the engine compartment. In fact, every car I have had in the last 20 years has had a low air intake. As for the electrics? It was never water over the bonnet that soaked the ignition system. It was water through the front grill. If it had been water over the bonnet, the cars would never have started after rain!

[@Boguardis]

It is also about speed. That's why the taller vans would suck up water, despite being taller.

@@markmd9 Do you happen to know what happens when a piston tries to compress water? 🤔 You can get a piston rod bend, and problems with valves. In many cases it is easier to replace the engine, than disassembling the whole thing. Because when a bent piston rod breaks... I think you know what happens then. 😑

Many years ago I knew a spoilt kidult who whilst doing tricks in his brand new Mercedes, totalled it against the wall of a multi-storey car-park (luckily nobody was injured). Two weeks later I saw him driving in exactly the same model and colour Mercedes. I remarked: "Wow... I am surprised the insurance paid out for that and so quick!" He said "They didn't... My dad bought me another one!" I am half expecting to see him here, though he wouldn't bother towing the car out!! 🙈🤣😅

[@ra_redesignautomobiles]

Rule number Never ever start a flooded engine, it will further destroy any engine components, when water is mixed with air + Fuel or by any oil or lubricant It will cause rust and parts to be worn. And water damaged electric components will cause fires. There is a reason why flooded cars are dangerous
