These videos while interesting are highly depressing. How could people be so unwilling to think before they act? The risk of damaging their vehicles at night is not worth the heartache. The mask is off regarding the myth about intelligence in Great Britain.
None of them ever seem disappointed. Almost like they drove in because they want some drama in their life. It would be interesting to research the psychology behind this.

For overpriced euro junk (Audi/BMW/Merc) is almost the perfect insurance scam. The write off is almost certain if it A) sits in water B) loses an unreliable and poorly engineered engine full of superfluous crap that has to be removed, pushing up the labour costs and writing it off.
Take it slow, guys! It's surprising how many of the larger vehicles don't make it through simply because the drivers are going too fast. They have enough height clearance, but the excessive speed forces the water high enough to reach the intake
I don't know many countries, especially not Great Britain, who don't have a section in their road code on driving through deep water. Seems these people didn't read that bit.
I'm here in Mongolia where we do this all the time without a 2nd thought, but seeing all the 4x4 not knowing how to go through a river is beyond funny. The cars i can semi understand, but the 4x4 guys is just odd.

The image of a delivery driver wearing a high-visibility tabard whilst his van is broken down in at least a foot of muddy water is a beautiful, succinct summary of Modern Britain.
Of all the things to hang your hat on about what’s wrong in Britain these days, “man wears orange vest” (which he was already wearing before he got stuck) seems an odd choice.
As a Florida resident in hurricane country i learned to seal a distributor, spark plug wires and vents for submarine driving. I had a 66 Chevy Belair wagon that could drive through any flooded road. The thing would slice though foot deep water like a swamp buggy at 35 mph throwing rooster tails 20 feet high.
Just spraying WD-40 on the distributor worked for a few days back when I had vehicles with mechanical ignition timing. Nowadays it’s all computer controlled. You still don’t want water to get into the intake or you’ll explode a cylinder or two.
I used to live on a street that would regularly flood at the lowest spot. Every time it flooded someone would try to drive through and flood out their car. Every time.
It was the wet part of the ducks, at 35 miles per hour entry into the WET WATER ,...that was the electrically EVIL part of DUMB. I am an engineering electronics guy from the US Navy. WE keep all our electronics up out of WATER....dry. It works on our torpedo's too. send note to Tesla / check!
Funny how people are more concerned about their shoes and pants getting wet afterwards, rather than the expensive vehicle getting ruined before charging into a flooded river. 🤣🤣🤣
@Retired Bore that's true I see your point but if your fully comp u can claim on your car when ever you want for anything.

What people seem not to understand is that, their gas engines compress air, but water can not be compressed. If your air intake is low then the engine sucks in water and you will destroy your engine by bending the piston rods.
OR Cold water under additional compression will blow a hole straight through a hot piston as well - see the blue Landy!!!!! That's at least one blown piston😄
The look of surprise on every face as their cars stop is amazing, even more amazing as like the first bloke says "I've already written off a car here!!!" Doesn't anyone ever stop, look at it and turn round rather than go through!!!
@@kosajk The battery is sealed so that ain't the issue. The issue is that the water isn't clean which can rust stuff. Make sure to thoroughly wash the car and you will be completely fine!
@@kosajk But it's pressurized with air so no water can get in that way. The vehicle would have to be fully submerged for minutes before water gets in that way.

Hello, love these videos. Me and my son sit and watch and play guess which car will get through. Suprising how many people attempt it. Thanks for the videos.
Not much of a surprise though considering it is possible to actually drive your car on the starter motor it's extremely slow mind you and you're definitely going to break something but it does work to at least crawl you out of the water if none of the boys in their rovers are there to pull you
I love that someone finally drove all the way down the side channel, far, AND BACKWARDS FAST! My hero. Now time for a roof snorkel? That was close lol..
Thanks for that little bit at the end showing the top of the river, I always wondered wtf was up there, I just assumed it was a few drains converging, but this is much cooler
Only months later all the electrical connections will be corroding, steel rusting, and biological stuff in the water stinking like mad. People are so dumb to risk all such problems for a 4km detour. It only takes pressing the brake and thinking for a minute before proceeding (with adjusting the satnav and turn around).
That's just the way it is...most people can be driving for 40 years but will have absolutely no clue about the air intake and how the engine will die if you flood it with water
Worse yet, none of those people stopping them from entering the water. It certainly seems like someone should be waving people off from entering the water.
What most people forget is if its a turbo engine and gets slightly flooded but still turns over amd starts eventually the first thing they do Is rev it all thats going to do is put any water that's in the intercooler straight into the engine so its hydrolocked good and proper, you need to drain everything before you attempt a restart, plugs or glows out intercooler pipes off.
It always makes me nervous seeing people standing around the tow cables. When they're pulling cars out. They pack a serious punch if one breaks loose and hits you
Compared to the amounts of oil, grease, coolant and other fluids that get dumped into the water by other motorists I'd consider a bit of plastic to be a minor concern. Unnecessary? Sure, but so are 95% of the crossings at this point.
One guy has a channel showing people speeding over the double speed humps outside his house where some of the cars get airborne. I never knew watching people destroy their stuff would be so entertaining.
Fascinating! I’ve got hooked on these. What morons! I assume there are alternative routes to / from the A614? I can just imagine the smug feelings of the people who make it through until the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree!! Thanks for the entertaining videos.
I read somewhere else apparently the route you gotta take to avoid this is like an extra 10 mins onto your journey. I'd rather take a 10 min detour then have to replace my engjne and be stuck there for god knows how long trying to organise a tow truck 😂
Yep , can't believe they'd try it it most of those. A lot are petrol which can get water into the electrics and cut out (if they're lucky) some will hydraulic ( I suspect the audi did that) , that's a major , I have a high clearance 4wd diesel and even I'd take it slowly, there's no need to tear through like you're going to get stuck.
@@silverdale3207"...some will hydrolock." Hydrolock is an abbreviation of the words hydrostatic lock. Hydraulic means something else, i.e. moved or operated by water.
Isn't it weird how he brains of some people and their lack of reality and consequences seem to evaporate the minute they get behind a steering wheel? Good business for RUclips Dash cam channels too.
@@markus9333 not more than any range rover going through water. Bearings don't like water. But the tesla drivetrain handles water better than any diesel or gas engine
Cars in general tend to be done pretty well this way. The only reason the ICE guys have trouble is the air intake ... the rest is pretty good unless you let it just sit in the water.
@@jonathanedwards8913 yeah I saw the Audi after I posted , my reference was to the first one. Although constant tension is far better than the “ snatch” that people use them for if you need to snatch go kinetic
There is some seriously cringe towing going on at that ford. dragging cars out by the A pillars with a tow rope through both of the front windows. Hooking the Tow rope up to the lifting hook of the engine block or just using any bit of plastic/metal as long as its not the towing eye.
You would think in a country that has so much rain that drivers would be more savvy in how to cross a flooded causeway or not cross it . I once balked at crossing a fast moving flooded road but a guy behind me blasting his horn and going on like a lunatic rushed around me and was last seen floating away down the flooded creek . I just waved and yelled out bon voyage and turned around and went home and reported it . There was nothing else I could do . No mobile phones in those days . Later on the news I heard he drowned .
Actually, EVs are 61x less likely to catch fire than internal combustion vehicles and 139x less likely to catch fire than hybrid cars. “Fully electric vehicles pose less of a fire risk than hybrids and gas cars, according to 2021 data from the National Transportation Safety Board. There were 25 EV fires per 100,000 sales, compared with 3,475 hybrid fires and 1,530 internal-combustion engine fires per 100,000 sales, respectively.“

I love that someone finally drove all the way down the side channel, far, AND BACKWARDS FAST! My hero. Now time for a roof snorkel? That was close lol..
Video was played in reverse.
Driving tha fast backwards is what wrecked the car. He would have pushed water up into the turbo hrough the exhaust
And I repeat, I can't believe the MX-5 made it.
7:28 Duck says 'No problem for me, and i have an IQ of about 4'.
Thanks for that little bit at the end showing the top of the river, I always wondered wtf was up there, I just assumed it was a few drains converging, but this is much cooler
That Model 3 handled the water like a champ.
Only months later all the electrical connections will be corroding, steel rusting, and biological stuff in the water stinking like mad. People are so dumb to risk all such problems for a 4km detour. It only takes pressing the brake and thinking for a minute before proceeding (with adjusting the satnav and turn around).
So cool 💪
Until it spontaneously combusts the next day
ye did you see how fish poped up top of the water after that? :D
EV's don't require oxygen to run and they're high voltage components are sealed, quite good in these situations
great to see it nice and full again, not so nice for the drivers but great for viewers
😃🤸😀🤸😀🤸😀🤸😀
9:31 no wonder why he was so keen to get by the crowd he had a doll in his front passenger seat lmao
I'm shocked the Miata made it through , and the number of Fords that didn't dissolve.
im in favour of re-testing drivers every 5 years after watching this! lol
Nah, this is the test
all this to avoid an 8-mile detour, its madness, I love my car much so much to even consider going through lower water.
That's just the way it is...most people can be driving for 40 years but will have absolutely no clue about the air intake and how the engine will die if you flood it with water
Good to see the fish made it safely back. 🐟
Ah yes, all conrods need to straighten themselves is a good solid revving, as demonstrated by the clownshoe (s) in the landrover.
There’s another vid with him doing the selfsame thing on the other side. He is clearly a tool.
Clownshoe 😂
I wonder how he lost his leg
Magico Unbendy Rodsey Revvyy..... and.......... nope. 🤣
I wonder how the Audi A7 driver got to be in his mid 50s
Pure luck.🤣
@replay6896. If you have enough money you can forge through anything...except a flooded road
Everyone seemed unmindful why there are people with smartphones and cameras hanging around at the spot probably waiting for potential "fail" content.
Worse yet, none of those people stopping them from entering the water. It certainly seems like someone should be waving people off from entering the water.
@VersinKettorix 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
11:54 when you hear a vehicle accelerating toward the water, you know it's time to run!
I am utterly amazed how many don't know how to negotiate a water hazard and in a defender as well .
Its amazing how they are interested in whats under the bonnet after and not before they go into the flood.
9:22 I'm always surprised at how well MX5s seem to handle this.
Yes I saw a new model go through a few weeks ago too
There was a red nd that was basically a submarine a few weeks back
It's Japanese that's why 👌
webmoney Z135589619815
MX5s are magic
What most people forget is if its a turbo engine and gets slightly flooded but still turns over amd starts eventually the first thing they do Is rev it all thats going to do is put any water that's in the intercooler straight into the engine so its hydrolocked good and proper, you need to drain everything before you attempt a restart, plugs or glows out intercooler pipes off.
They’d have to know it to forget it😂
That depends on if the intake sucked in water. Usually they're high up in the car.
It always makes me nervous seeing people standing around the tow cables. When they're pulling cars out. They pack a serious punch if one breaks loose and hits you
Yup, a fatal one often
52% voted for brexit so yeah, plenty of potential idiots to stand next to danger
Let them learn by their small brain.
No common sense.
No commen sense in that nabourhood, from the driver to the spectacular spectators.
😂
7:24 - " You said the water wasn't deep" "Well, it only comes 'alf way up them ducks!"
Like the shots of the weir gates and spillway!
For saving the little fish - a huge like ))
Love how the delivery driver just brushed a piece of plastic into the water. What a tosser
Compared to the amounts of oil, grease, coolant and other fluids that get dumped into the water by other motorists I'd consider a bit of plastic to be a minor concern. Unnecessary? Sure, but so are 95% of the crossings at this point.
To be fair to him, he's got bigger things to worry about than the environment right now 😅
I love how karma immediately floated it back into the van. Brilliant
Wow Nice number of Subscribers Tom........ Hope this brings an pleasant income to the very historic and such a historic village
What a fascinating video. Why would people do that to their expensive vehicles???
Its the video i never knew i needed in my life.. thanks yt algoritim.
One guy has a channel showing people speeding over the double speed humps outside his house where some of the cars get airborne. I never knew watching people destroy their stuff would be so entertaining.
Fascinating! I’ve got hooked on these. What morons! I assume there are alternative routes to / from the A614? I can just imagine the smug feelings of the people who make it through until the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree!! Thanks for the entertaining videos.
I read somewhere else apparently the route you gotta take to avoid this is like an extra 10 mins onto your journey. I'd rather take a 10 min detour then have to replace my engjne and be stuck there for god knows how long trying to organise a tow truck 😂
@@Klynch111You don't have to wait long, tow trucks hang out here like kids at a park.... 😂
It's their version of hunting....😅
Yep , can't believe they'd try it it most of those. A lot are petrol which can get water into the electrics and cut out (if they're lucky) some will hydraulic ( I suspect the audi did that) , that's a major , I have a high clearance 4wd diesel and even I'd take it slowly, there's no need to tear through like you're going to get stuck.
@@silverdale3207"...some will hydrolock."
Hydrolock is an abbreviation of the words hydrostatic lock.
Hydraulic means something else, i.e. moved or operated by water.
@@localbod Yep,my bad.I knew what I meant just spelt it wrong😁
It never ceases to amaze me, you can see that the water is deep? but you carry on regardless. Makes no sense whatsoever...🤔🤪
And this is why insurance premiums are 50% more expensive in rufford area !
German Car: Bow down to my German superiority Rufford Ford!!!!
Rufford Ford: ..............
Isn't it weird how he brains of some people and their lack of reality and consequences seem to evaporate the minute they get behind a steering wheel? Good business for RUclips Dash cam channels too.
Water + lithium =🔥💥. Driver + tesla =🥴
All bow to the mighty MX5
Impressive. Apart from the lost number plate!
And remember up until they arrived here these are the people you’re sharing the roads with, sometimes they’re driving toward you at up to 60mph…
First Tesla I've seen, incredible how they have made everything incl batteries and motors waterproof !
There have been a bunch of white model 4s (or the same one for multiple times) going through the ford like it's nothing
Those teslas will be fu*ed later
@@markus9333 not more than any range rover going through water. Bearings don't like water. But the tesla drivetrain handles water better than any diesel or gas engine
@@crunchinjelly that's why they use sealings.
Cars in general tend to be done pretty well this way. The only reason the ICE guys have trouble is the air intake ... the rest is pretty good unless you let it just sit in the water.
8:48 I love how people stand next to tow straps under tension. Have they never heard of snap-back zones?
While I agree in a stuck situation with the vehicle being in neutral and on a paved surface the chance of a strop snapping the a very very minimal
@@darrenhale6320 but this wasn’t in neutral free rolling. It was locked up
@@jonathanedwards8913 yeah I saw the Audi after I posted , my reference was to the first one. Although constant tension is far better than the “ snatch” that people use them for if you need to snatch go kinetic
There is some seriously cringe towing going on at that ford. dragging cars out by the A pillars with a tow rope through both of the front windows. Hooking the Tow rope up to the lifting hook of the engine block or just using any bit of plastic/metal as long as its not the towing eye.
@@warrmr yep bunch of tools for sure
Im loving all these flood videos. Thanks for posting
Eb serio? te encanta ver como dañan su carros?
Duck saying that you are quackers lol
Its amazes me, that there are so many people that seem to have no clue on how an engine works.
Most people out there couldn't tell you how many cylinders were in their engines. It's sad. :(
@@youtubasoarus True. Absolutely.
Why anybody chances it is beyond me. “I’ll risk writing off my car and make my insurance void”.
You would think in a country that has so much rain that drivers would be more savvy in how to cross a flooded causeway or not cross it .
I once balked at crossing a fast moving flooded road but a guy behind me blasting his horn and going on like a lunatic rushed around me and was last seen floating away down the flooded creek . I just waved and yelled out bon voyage and turned around and went home and reported it . There was nothing else I could do . No mobile phones in those days . Later on the news I heard he drowned .
Точно говорю что здесь совсем мало воды.
На 7:22 утка пешком переходила этот водоем. 🤣
That big building next to the ford, is it a pub or restaurant? If it is, it must be pretty much booked solid because of these videos!
If I drive up to some water and I see people with their phones and cameras out, im turning around.
Tesla burns down house later that evening... LOL
u dont even know where it’s going
plus it’s electric how could it burn
Actually, EVs are 61x less likely to catch fire than internal combustion vehicles and 139x less likely to catch fire than hybrid cars.
“Fully electric vehicles pose less of a fire risk than hybrids and gas cars, according to 2021 data from the National Transportation Safety Board. There were 25 EV fires per 100,000 sales, compared with 3,475 hybrid fires and 1,530 internal-combustion engine fires per 100,000 sales, respectively.“
I love how the people get mad for getting splashed when they're there to clown people getting stuck 😂
Rule 1 for fording. Check the depth before attempting to cross. A pair of wet shoes and trousers is much cheaper to fix than a buggered engine.
One would assume the one-legged guy might be a bit more cautious than other folks, but then... some people never learn.
xD he might have lost a few braincells at the same time as the leg
@@anthonymcgowan3398
Quite possible.
Bruh wth does that has to do with it. You don't know how he lost his leg. A little bit respect would be in place here imo
@@stevovimy He lost it in the great war
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24Against the Rufford waters
Rufford rule 101 . If it’s German it probably won’t get through. If it’s Japanese or French you stand a chance
A lot of other Audis and bmws etc would disagree.
Top notch delivery effort there…
I doubt the insurance covers driving wilfully into water.
It does not, largely hence why these videos are filmed, insurance evidence freely available.
"This river came out of nowhere!"
