      If this guy truly does this because he enjoys the whirlpool payoffs, I wouldn't be surprised if this could be attributed to Asperger's Syndrome. One of the main characteristics of A.S. is having special interests with a passion.
      I myself am diagnosed with a mild case of A.S. and certainly know a bit about going down rabbit holes to learn almost everything about something specific, which to most people would feel like a waste of time. My current "rabbit hole" is trying to get to know all there is to know about electric cars - their history, construction, battery tech, etc.
      And while most people desire social connections, I feel most at ease when I'm alone and try to obtain information on my interests... which is hard for most people to understand.

      @@Animemaidsama1 use a critical thinking. That is a urgent and rare situation. Sidewalk wouldn't be destroyed because of one day being special route during malfunction, during video nobody walked on it and if car is driving like 10km/h isn't any dangerous.
      So, road are unusable (some cars may seize at such a water level),so you are avoiding it in safe maner. Like when is a remont on sidewalk, pedestrians are directed to going around on roadway. and in normal traffic it is a crime, not in an exceptional situation. if this path is not made of total crap that it will fall apart after a few rides, I still do not see it as a problem. in this situation it is a reasonable way to bypass the situation that does not endanger anyone

The sidewalk CURVES OUT OF VIEW. If someone else were on the other side of that turn that car would not have been able to stop in all that water. This area is known for flooding and was even worse last year, it's not rare, man says so with his own words. The road is totally usable at a lower speed, and we see many people take it slow and get beyond the bend no problem. You even see people stop and turn away from the water.

      Chaudhry Azeem The last thing you wanna do is race into a deep puddle. 😂 You can’t always tell how deep it is and there could be debris or potholes caused by the flood. Plus the faster you go into the puddle the more water your going to have splashing your engine and with modern cars becoming more technical you’re risking some damage to your engine or electrical parts.

      @Thomas L Yeah same thought. My dad used to drive a Subaru through water higher than that near our house. It was low to the ground but had 4WD so it handled it better than a 2WD but he said you had to should never stop and try never to slow down but keep the same pace. Just in the passenger seat, I could feel the pressure from when the water reached the bumper and then when it let go. It also splashed a lot.
      I also walked the sidewalk on that road in a few floods and was splashed. It sucked but I understood it. Most people aren't doing it on purpose in those conditions. People splashing on purpose are usually when it finishes raining and there's a puddle somewhere. You can hear them rev up and if facing them see them veer over to hit it on purpose.
      Driving on the sidewalks, however, is the worst. Those people should get reported and fined. If flooding is that bad you don't know if someone had to leave their house and is on the sidewalk. It could be the elderly, children, someone with pets, etc.

      @@jarvindriftwood I'm not entirely sure he's correct with his 'never slow down' advice, because most driving instructions I've seen concerning waterlogged roads is 1. avoid if possible 2. slow down if you have to go through. Going faster just makes it easier to lose control of the car because of aquaplaning.

    • @tboythomas

      If you slow down, the water can clog your engine and cause your engine to lock up (flooding the engine). The never slow down advice is actually good advice. You should keep a speed you can control, preferably a decently faster not slower speed but not too fast. Don’t speed up but definitely don’t slow down.

      Don’t award mediocrity, we don’t need to pat people on the back who follow simple rules of the road and Highway Code they should have learned already like slow down when entering a flooded area to protect your car, your brakes and yourself, this is expected of every competent and licensed driver. Anyone who just ploughs into the water is either blind or an idiot which is more dangerous.
      Blind people wouldn’t see the massive build up of water like the guy who hard splashed him, they slammed the brakes once they hit the water so they didn’t see it coming, in which case their judgement is compromised or their vision is shit, either way get them off the road
      The idiot drives on the pavement to avoid the water on a cluttered pavement with trees on a corner which could have pedestrians you don’t see or just drives through the water like it isn’t there, which can wreck the car and you just know they didn’t check their brakes after leaving the water to make sure they’re working properly so they’re both a dick who should be off the road but also driving a potentially unsafe vehicle,
      Bad drivers make normal drivers look good, don’t congratulate people for common sense, embarrass the bad ones so they go extinct, or put some cement mix on the pavement to fuse their brakes up good

      They think that cars get stuck in water because the vehicle loses traction by floating up - not because the engine is flooded long before the vehicle turns into a boat.
      "Maybe if if I go fast I will float to the other side with the momentum!" ⛵
      The majority of people driving cars don't understand that internal combustion engines need *air* just as much as *fuel* to simply run. Same sort of folks who can't set up a campfire because they completely forget about air intake. A car is a living machine: it needs to breath.

    For years, the walkway in my apartment with flood when it rained because it drains were clogged. Not a single person bothered to unclog the drains, including maintenance. I unclogged the drains about two years ago because I got tired of jumping over a puddle or having to walk directly in a puddle of water to get to my car. They have been unclogged ever since..
    This guy is gonna be on the call of duty and unclogging the drains in the streets. I’ll commend him for doing that.

    The town should give you an award for clearing up the roads when it rains. You should wear some type of neon safety vest & maybe get some fishing waders so people take care when you're cleaning the sewers & grates! Thanks for caring about your town!!!
