The road obviously can't be completely closed because the nearby properties need access. So I suspect the previous junction has a sign saying 'road closed ahead, flood, access only'.

There were at least two cars that went through the Ford, trying to sneak past cops, and maybe a couple more who came up to the Edge and were told to turn around. At least one car had to drive round the recovery truck putting emergency workers and police at risk... yep they are that stupid and deserve a fine.

If you look at the 4*4 that race through that Ford, they have snorkels, All that is doing is raising the air intake out of the way of any water.

The idiocy of some drivers is amazing. The area I live in used to have floods in low spots in the main route in/out of town, we used to cope with this stuff every winter, often with longer flooded stretches.

If I pressure wash my car and jet the calipers and then drive it afterwards the efficiency of the braking is greatly reduced for the first couple of applications, this isn't about damage, its about expelling the water lying between the disc and pads. The DSA and other motoring organisations all give the same advice. Although the discs are rotating, it often doesn't clear the water until the brakes are applied. If you need to stop suddenly after driving through deep water you may well find your stopping distance greatly increased.

Engines hydro lock when water enters the cylinders! Water can't be compressed ! The water is sucked in though the air filter hence some modified 4x4s have a snorkel keeping the intake high!

what does the white smoke mean?

Modern cars are full of electric management systems. Even if they're 'lucky' enough to get through there's still the real risk of water in the various electrical connectors which over time will gradually corrode and then begin to throw up more and more fault codes over the next few years.
