The first scenario involving the Jag is the ford into our village (Naunton Beauchamp, Worcs.). The gentleman drove through despite 'Road Closed' sign placed at the egress from the village and Warning and depth indicated signage at the ford. He had medical issues which is why the ES were summoned. A kind fellow villager took him in to dry out and warm up. It is also deceptively dangerous in the summer when the ford is low due to slimy algae growth when just a few inches deep. A cyclist came off and broke his femur in the hot spell last year. Fortunately there was a couple with a RV parked there to help him, as the ford is about quarter mile from nearest residence. Dog-walking along there, we often warn cyclists to use the footbridge even if the ford has little depth, who sometimes retort in a rude manner. One such tosser came off after shaking head and tutting at us...oh the karma

The first clip - that of the old guy driving into Seaford ford - baffles me. He can only have come from the village of Naunton Beauchamp, there is no such thing as "through traffic" on that stretch of road. I do not understand how he could have been unaware of the risk given how often that ford floods. Trust me on this, I've driven through (and turned back from!) that little ford plenty of times. I even tried to ride a bicycle through it once. Never again. It is unbelievably slippy! I fell off as does everyone else daft enough to try it.
