A normal IQed person wouldn´t drive through these floods unless he has a vehicle dedicated and equipped for wading through waters. Risking my car like that would never be a thing I would do.

Mercedes Sprinter’s are hopeless in these conditions. Why don’t people understand that you can’t replace air with water in the air intake and filter?

The bus driver tried his luck once two often 😂

The red BMW at 13:00 . This video was published in Nov 2023 and I was quite surprised to see that this car EM53 ROW actually passed an MOT in Jan 2024! 😮

I hope the Discovery driver is charging people to be towed out. Also, don’t drivers realise that the insurance companies will be watching these videos before all the claims start ‘flooding’ in 😂

The best part about 99% of these videos is that the cars would easily make it through slowly but the drivers are so moronic that they ruin their own cars. The water is ankle deep most of the time.

It is very important to push this cool bow wave in front of you. Otherwise it won't work. The water has to penetrate properly to the air filter intake. But most of them manage this and make us happy. True heroes! The others, who drive far too carefully and slowly for the water to penetrate properly, are really boring!

The floaters need a rudder attachment to go on their back bumpers. Perhaps tow bar mountable, or a strap on type. Possibly a rope & pulley system, to operate from the drivers window or sunroof? Sure go the whole hog & put a few sails on the roof. Mount it on the roof rack.
