      ​@@reapexerI feel like that makes it worse actually. How do you not be paying attention? Most of the other drivers managed to either slow down, drive far enough away he didn't get hit, or both.
      Having said that driving through that much water seems nuts to me. I suppose when it floods here it's usually flash flooding and there's a decent chance the water is actually fast moving though

      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

      @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 3 года назад +2

      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.

      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.

      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.
      Given how difficult it is to get people to at least use turn signals, I wouldn't hold my breath regarding a basic understand of what makes their cars go _vroom._

      @Aaron L It's the culture that bothers me more than the downvotes. I understand where you're coming from. The cancel/dislike culture is something I don't agree with. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, so am I. Stay safe and stay healthy, bud!

    Despite those that were going to plow their way through come hell or high water (so bad!), there were a few drivers that moved over/slowed when they got near you, bless 'em. That neighborhood really needs to stand up and acknowledge what you do for it.
