Most people don’t even check their levels nor their tires! On top of that they don’t even rotate their tires or change their cabin, engine filters much less change their oil. Pretty sad if you ask me.
The fact the driving instructor thought it would be Ok to drive in 3' of water certainly explains why so many people drive like shit today ! - Not an atom of common sense !!
I love all the high and mighty people here with the benefit of hindsight. These people obviously underestimated how deep the water is. I live in the countryside and our lanes often get flooded after heavy rainfall. Sometimes it’s easy to underestimate how deep the water coming off the fields has got. If you’re used to the lanes and fording floods, I can see how easy it would be to not realise the waters gotten deeper than usual.
Today I learned three things: 1) The tow hook on a BMW is one of the front wheels. 2) The tow hook on a Renault is... the battery? 3) The L sign on the roof is to make the car easier to find when it is under water.
People on a brigde filming and laughing, broken cars at the side of the road, a tow truck next to the bridge. How many red flags can a person ignore and drive into a river like that? Nice to watch though. 😂😂😂
These are the same people who hog the middle & outside lanes on motorways, drive straight over mini roundabouts, park in disabled bays, drift across lanes on roundabouts and stop on box junctions.
I'm in NZ and every time we get a flood the local towie parks up at a flood spot on the main highway and charges $100 a pop to get a car across on the bed of his truck. If a car founders and the driver won't pay he waits until the cops get him to clear the road, that's $500 a pop. He's a wealthy robbing bastard.
Exactly, a lot of misinformed people on here think "oh drive slowly" but it doesn't matter it all depends on where your air intake is & where the water splashes.
Thought the same. After a series of these footages when people destroy their cars because they think that cars are submarines - it will be soon a campaign of education short spots how to drive in deep water, and when don't. i can't imagine so much unconsiousness of drivers in my country.

@@abc33944 i was shocked when i discovered the air box was that low but there is no space in vans engine compartments and you can't put it inside the van it would suck all your warm or cold air out of your van. the only thing you could possibly do is put a snorkel on the air box and maybe get it 1 foot higher to the top of the wheelwell without any heavy modification.

He took it at the right pace - still not a good idea to drive through it but at least he knew how to do it. I come from rural Australia and floods are something that you really should never drive through. You really have no idea how fast the water is flowing not to mention how deep it is.
@@rubensano4860 its called water steam... and it would be normal, exhaust hot, exhaust gases are hot, too... steam comes out of a hot exhaust... happens every time you start your car!

Not always. Some cars will just submarine right through with most of the water going over the hood. I've seen it happen more than once. It's still a gamble though.
If you need to go through the water in offroad situation you want to create a wave in front of the vehicle which creates space in front of it. However most of the idiots in this video are going too fast
A few years ago we had a real cloud burst made a lot of roads ended up like this, we stood near 1 of them and waved and shouted don’t go through, when they broke down and asked for help we said we gave you all the help you needed before, and let them get on with it. 🤣🤣
Cool.... and very, very wet. I guess I learned what *not* to do... but still won't try it with my car. Definitely going into a flooded road with gusto is *not* the right way to do it. For me it's probably going to be a case of "if I don't ever play the game, I can't lose" so I'll refrain from fjording flooded roads. ;-)
In many of these clips the water is only a few inches deep, a long way below the air intakes. They go too fast and the bow wave gets them. Water above the bottom of the bumper or valance causes this. I am not sure on the Mitsubishi pickup, it was capable of doing this. Strange rattling noise. The Transit belly flopping and floating was a hoot. Turn off ignition, pull car out, disconnect air box and get water out. If the ECU have leaked it will not start but 30% it will work again

It looks to me like the waters gone up the exhaust and blocked the exhaust rather than into the engine, judging by the steam coming out if the exhaust.
@@EaglesNest1986 No, that's steam generated inside the engine. Water doesn't burn, but it also doesn't compress, so it can blow steam if you're lucky, or it can completely destroy the engine.

Even if the engine doesn't suck water and instantly hydrolock, there's hot manifolds warping from getting cold water sloshed on them, and wiring, connectors, and electronic modules getting wet. There are people driving through the water who aren't going to have any problems until weeks later when the corrosion sets in and the contaminated lube in differentials and gear boxes have turned been churned into bad mayonnaise.
Hate to admit this but I suffered this fate in a Jaguar XJ40 20 yrs back. It was at night and pouring with rain so was not aware how deep the water was with the drains blocked with leaves, although saw the road was flooded and thought it would be a hoot to drive through fast. At the time I charged through the water and I never gave it a thought or even knew that the air intake pipe for the engine was quite low down in the engine bay. Even if it was high up....creating a bow wave like on this video is still going to suck in water. I was able to limp home a few hundred metres further up the road and the next morning took out the spark plugs and cranked the engine over and water gushed up out of the spark-plug holes like a sperm whale blowing its breather hole. "That's not good I thought". The engine was reconditioned, but what shocked me was when the mechanic showed me how the piston conrods were literally bent!.......really rammed home how incompressable water is. Needless to say won't do it again.
Happened to me, only I luckily only blocked the exhaust. I drove slowly through a big, what I thought was a puddle, turned out to be much deeper than I expected. I got lucky. All these people here judging these people probably live in cities and don’t have to deal with the regular flooding in rural areas. It’s very easy to misjudge how deep the water is, especially if your used to fording a bit of a flood, it only takes one time for it to get half a foot deeper than normal and the rest is history.
@@EaglesNest1986that's why you go slow or even stop. Dont get me started on going backwards as that's another story 😅 As for cites 😅😅 you think they dont flood? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are there no alternative routes to take in these regions? I have never seen such a large and confident group of people that drive straight into such high water level.
Don't know about anyone else - but...
If I saw the locals filming. I'd find another route.
You'd think the flood would make them do that anyway
True 😂
I know its stupid to drive through but these braindead faggots filming and laughing. Pfft that's exactly what is wrong with humanity

It was at night and pouring with rain so was not aware how deep the water was with the drains blocked with leaves, although saw the road was flooded and thought it would be a hoot to drive through fast. At the time I charged through the water and I never gave it a thought or even knew that the air intake pipe for the engine was quite low down in the engine bay. Even if it was high up....creating a bow wave like on this video is still going to suck in water.
I was able to limp home a few hundred metres further up the road and the next morning took out the spark plugs and cranked the engine over and water gushed up out of the spark-plug holes like a sperm whale blowing its breather hole. "That's not good I thought". The engine was reconditioned, but what shocked me was when the mechanic showed me how the piston conrods were literally bent!.......really rammed home how incompressable water is. Needless to say won't do it again.
Happened to me, only I luckily only blocked the exhaust. I drove slowly through a big, what I thought was a puddle, turned out to be much deeper than I expected. I got lucky. All these people here judging these people probably live in cities and don’t have to deal with the regular flooding in rural areas. It’s very easy to misjudge how deep the water is, especially if your used to fording a bit of a flood, it only takes one time for it to get half a foot deeper than normal and the rest is history.
@@EaglesNest1986No excuse for being stupid. Your insurance doesn't cover your stupidity and ignorance.
@@EaglesNest1986that's why you go slow or even stop. Dont get me started on going backwards as that's another story 😅
As for cites 😅😅 you think they dont flood? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And these people are allowed to 'drive' on UK roads? Oh boy!
Have y'all got any boat ramps in england , that might be even more fun .

Aloud or allowed?
You can say that aloud!
Shows you how many crazies are on the road and coming towards you at speed bloody terrifying 😮
That one van said stickleback fish on the side!! Lmao 🤣
Bloke in old off road thing stuck under the bridge 😂😂😂 Paul Whitehouse “ let’s off road “ 😂
Are there no alternative routes to take in these regions? I have never seen such a large and confident group of people that drive straight into such high water level.
This is like the Wavy Boats YT channel for cars.
Zero emissions, just water coming out the exhaust! 🤣
lol the fireman saying "We'll get you our, just stay where you are" to the trapped guy.
Under the bonnet is some kind of magic 😉
