Rufford Ford | part 77 with NEAR CRASH and extreme speeds

[@glenncole7721]

It's great fun for the kids getting soaked on a hot, sunny day... until some dork like in that Subaru comes along & it all goes pear shaped. I don't want to sound a party pooper - but I would n't let my kids stand there getting wet with some of those clueless, idiotic drivers.

[@timmo3351]

As with anything it doesn’t take long for the morons to get involved and eff it up for everyone else!

[@GenaF]

@@glenncole7721 there have always been children there, long before go pro's. They come round from Rufford Abbey/park and there are walks around the lake. Most children pester their parents to let them go and stand on the footpath bridge. My husband used to take his Hilux thru there in the mid nineties and whilst there were a few twunts, I don't believe they got upto the speeds of today's idiots and there were no children stood in the road on the side of the former mill. EVERYONE was safe on the bridge/path

I can't help thinking it was a resident who drained the lake last week. They must have had the first peaceful weekend in a long time! I'm no snowflake but some driver's behaviour is just dangerous, slight gradient, slight bend, wet roads, excess speed and kids within feet of them, it will happen one day and people will be surprised. Anyway, rant over. I hope it rains soon and we can get back to deep water and a different type of idiot.

[@csw482]

I agree, 2 theories, 1 more likely than the other.

[@highdownmartin]

With you on the schadenfreude videos. That’s my introduction to Rufford Ford , morons driving into deep water. Tearing through shallow water at forty should be a six month ban. They’re blinded by spray, losing control and unable to stop. Like you say, a different, much more dangerous, type of moron.

Normally if you want to be safe, 4 way flashers and less than 5mph through the water....buuuuuuuuuut no one is going to do that.

[@EminemLovesGrapes]

He should be given a free pass considering how fast he reacts without rammimg it into the side

[@st170restoration]

He only regains directional control as his tyres hit the concrete on the other side. He reacts to the oncoming car just as he hits the water but the car stays on a set course because it’s travelling at excess speed and aquaplaning. It’s completely out of control

[@Meddled]

Subarus are for thick chavs, bumpkins and angry divorcee fathers. You should get points added to your licence just for buying one in the first place. Cars to compensate for a lack of recognition in any other aspect of your life.
