Cheers Ben......what are you doing this summer (when its not raining?) Love the dog in the Defender! Hot tub bassist got lucky. I can't believe that grey Nissan didn't flood out. Lots great cars...ruined.
Thanks Jon, there’s always plenty of thunderstorms & flooded bridges to document when the river crossings are low. Other than that I’ll be waiting until the winter again 😂
Incomprehensible. Why do people drive there when there is so much water 😳? Why didn't they build a bridge or similar, as they do in all other places in the world. What have I missed?🤔
@@Lucario0007 And people wonder why your own insurance goes through the roof. Because of bell ends that cannot read road conditions! every one of them should be forced to pay for repairs out their own pocket. Especially when it involves driving through 2 foot plus of water. No sympathy for idiots at all.
@@syrus3k It would be rare for that to happen to an EV. They have battery vent valves that are designed to keep out water and dirt. Water shouldn't be getting in and shorting things.
@@syrus3k they void insurance and warranty easier on ev. I defo wouldn’t recommend it 👍 it records when waters got in the battery and data logs it. Far to smart
Thick as two short plants so the saying goes, people willing to risk it, but ending up ruining their cars and vans in the process, and ending up with a expensive repair bill.
I'm going to open a car repair shop there 💰 These people live in this Territory, doesn't anyone tell them not to drive through at full throttle? The car pumps water instead of air
happy that there isn't ANY ford on our entire road network. Guess what: we build bridges, or have a tube for the creek to pass underneath the road Used to have SUV and wouldn't even know the fording depth as the manufacturer doesn't even publish that information anywhere, not even in the manual
There is 2 ways around the ford. On the map it’s kinda like the London Underground symbol. This Ford is in the middle. Double diversions just 5-10 mins extra. With bridges etc
@@Discoveryjamie and even if there are 10 ways around, we still don't have a single ford in the entire road network, even the most rural roads and fields paths don't have any.
@@EnjoyFirefighting they are fairly common here in the uk in the countryside areas. Not so much in city’s. This one with the fire engine in it’s around 5 minutes from a good sized town. There’s also a couple places on the same county that’s tidal. Completely cut off twice a day. No cars can get across
@@Discoveryjamie we have a few Hallig islands cut off by tidal floods in the North Sea, but that's about it. Can't drive there in low tide either. I've lived throughout several states in Germany, from large cities to smaller towns and villages far out in the countryside. Fords simply don't exist on the road network and at least some car manufacturers don't provide any fording depth data. Working in EMS only our newest units are provided with that data; Thus our Vito is allowed to go through 20 cm of water
@@EnjoyFirefightingyeah vito sadly don’t do well in water. One of the most common we see. Granted most is speed related too. That false sense of sitting high your be ok.
these people shouldn't even have a national insurance number, too work, never mind drive. as there obviously not old enough to be out in the big wide world, without mammy n daddy 😮😢😂🤣
Y’know… people wouldn’t purposefully drive into a river, so I really cannot understand the reasoning for driving through such a flooded ford. Baffling! More money than sense 🙄
I could smell that Renault traffic clutch from here lol
he revved it like a damn lawn mower
The new mazda 3 submersible 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Job and job 6uyhjyy and have been working for my job
Did he really attach the tow rope to the BMW's front alloy wheel?
That was actually horrifying…
I did think that there was limited intelligence on both ends of that rope.
One thing ive learnt watching these over the years is never take a BMW thru flood water....lol ..
Nor a MB Sprinter van, air intake low down behind off side front bumper, great suction device!!
lol they’re always the main culprits 😂
or anything with a low air intake.

Can’t believe so many drive so fast. See big flood must floor it. That poor Mazda 3, nice car that, or was.
I have one. It hurt to see that.
That was a sad sight. I have a Mazda and baby it. I don't even like driving it through big puddles...
I can see why. I think they think going too slow will make them stuck
textbook by the Fire Crew .. it's almost like they know what their doing
They are very good boys!
They’re
The dog looks like he’s scared😂
First video dog towed the car 😅
Hydrolock 3000™...the gift that keeps on giving...😮
Fantastic entertainment as always 😂I'd love to know what goes through these drivers minds to make them think this will turn out ok😂
Smashed it bro 👌 and everything else we got yesterday 😂 so much you haven’t included
Thanks mate, absolutely 👀👊🏼
I wonder how much in GBP/USD has been spent in completely preventable automotive repairs documented on this channel?
Gotta be over a million in damages, less will be repaired
On this channel alone easily over 10million last year when I was filming alongside ben. I recovered over 1million myself in just a few months 😂
millions or even billions
Millions…but it’s potentially educated a lot of people that watch the videos as well, so hopefully prevented potential damage too.
£187.89
lmfao i love that like 10.000+ camera quality "only" to film stuff like this
To be fair the footage is super crisp. I think it's great!
Another brilliant video Ben 👍🏻
Thanks Tom 👊🏼
I like your video

Slow and steady wins the race.
Whyyy do people think faster is better? Water is heavy dude it doesn't care about your van!
I really hope we don't have a wet Summer, but if we do, Ben will keep us entertained 😁
Obviously HTA knows nothing about the properties of water despite being an "expert", in hot tubs.
He didn't care obviously... Company car 😂😅

Incredible
Then there was trouble broken down vehicles 🚗
Wow😮😢😂🎉😅😊

The expensive *Clunk* of hydrolock
Insurance company should refuse to pay out on the account of stupidity.
@@allygilmour6182in the context of the videos yes but if it wasn’t like these videos and water meets car on drive then no

@@allygilmour6182 I agree but what if a flood comes to the car instead of the car comes to flood
@@Lucario0007 that's a bit different from. Idiots trying to drive through 2 foot of water with low air intakes. Idiots deserve nothing.
How does an insurance company view this when you destroy or damage your vehicle ????????
Usually they won’t pay out as it’s avoidable flood damage.
EVs and snorkel landrovers seem ok
We’ve pulled a few evs out mate. The battery’s have breather tubes water gets in them and shorts
@@Discoveryjamie that sounds more expensive than the normal cars lol

@@MountainManGuy majority are around sill level or even where a traditional diff would be. Tesla also have a habit of floating down stream…trust me 😉
nice c350cdi with immaculate MOT history ruined
now scrapped
Wring the air filter out. It'll be fine...
Does that sign beside the road say no tipping? What is that?
It says ‘Free Recovery’, it’s genuine & it’s what the guy in the white Merc was using
No tipping. It means no fly tipping, ie dumping of waste. A common problem in the british countryside
All vehicles shall have air intakes high mounted to prevent hydro.locking.
Most do, apart from BMW and Mercedes
Why do cars just go too fast?
And vans
they certainly think if they pass quickly, their engine won t suffer much.
Time pressure
To build a bridge - no
Toshoot a video of cars sinking - yes 😂
1:51 👍😂
It always makes me laugh how so many of my fellow English country people lack common sense.
It blows my mind watching these people drive through the water like it's nothing only to find out you messed up
The Renault Trafic handled this perfectly.
Once someone stole one of my dads company mini busses and plunged it into the Avon when it was recovered the Merc Sprinter survived
I wouldn’t be driving a £300,000 machine through flood water specially when the air intake is at the front
Are you referring to the Fire Engine? If so I believe Scania's air intakes (P360) are located behind the cab.
@@okeythen7524 yea I drive a P280 and the air intake on ours is at the front driver side that one in the video is a P270
1:52 the newest Submarine :D
Will people ever bloody learn 😂😂😂
I don’t think so unfortunately…😂, I’ll stop making the videos when they do 😂

Very clear water at 2:02.

I would never drive my vehicle through UK poo-filled water. Yuck!
Does no one have cat sense enough to block off the road?
As an apparently clueless Yank, I’m surprised, I thought the concept of the “bridge” had reached Britain long ago.

Есть возможность, развернись и проедь воду задним ходом, в чем проблема??? Зачем врезаться в тонны воды мордой где ноходится воздухозаборник
