What astonishes me the most is how so many people, far from stopping and getting out to asses the situation properly, fail to even slow down, or in many cases, even ACCELERATE INTO the water! 😖 How thick can you get?!

Around my neck of the woods we close off a road that has deep running water over it.

The joys of hydrolock. If you've got a low air intake and/or a modern diesel with loads of electrics don't do it. You'll never create a good bow wave. If you have to get through turn around and drive through backwards slowly and maintaining high revs if possible.

13.50 a merc and a beemer at the same time 😂Ford driver knows how to do it and gets through

Put in lowest gear, rev engine hard to keep up gas pressure in tail pipe, enter the water very slowly so as not to make a bow wave over front of vehicle. Crawl through at 5 mph.

so let me get this straight, driving through deep water in unsuitable vehicles and going too fast can flood the air intake and short electrics etc? who'd have thought that?

All the bent rods and hydrolocked engines

They are going to hsve to introduce advice on how to and when not drive through water into the driving test. Thay will keep a few idiots off the road. I believe that the advice to keep the revs up is taken to mean drive fast. Seriously. I believe they misunderstand that keeping the revs up to keep water out of the exhaust is to go fast. Nope. Higher revs, slow speed, no bow wave. If in doubt don't drive through. If you are confident enough to do it then reverse through but use higher revs (not speed). Contrary to what some drivers think deisels too can be hydro locked. They may not suffer damage so easily but that is simply down to the fact deisels operate under higher internal pressures so are built correspondingly stronger.

On days like this, I beg my wife to let me use her G wagon.

Why not go in reverse??? Would that work better, or would tailpipe get flooded? Would compression keep water out?

Would reversing through it be a better option?
