@@tsu177actually any car normal car can ford those waters no problem unless you go fast and create a wave in front of you that breaks into your bonnet and air intake.

Love all the signage at 3:31. Amazes me that people drive past all the signs, cones, the stranded muddy car into what is essentially a mud pit. And I'm glad the guy at 7:55 turned around. That would have been one of the most iconic hydrolocks on the channel with the overpass right next to it.
Some of the most impatient and worst driving in Europe brought to you by the United Kingdom. I encountered a similar sized puddle in my bus and I dare go through it because of my passengers safety and because there’s always another way around. Only downside is I had to reverse a big bus back about half a mile 😂
was hoping to see myself on here as i went though this twice a few days ago but I wasn't one of the lucky ones lol that poor volvo wonder if its still there 😅😂 there's another nice spot in bedworth woodlands Lane it's clear now but maybe one for future videos 👍🏼
That last clip looks like Eynsford. I've never seen anyone try driving through the ford there as they all use the bridge that's been built for the purpose. OK, it's a narrow bridge, but it's hardly a busy road where you'll need to wait more than a few seconds to wait for someone else to come over it.
Eynsford Ford is just a short distance from me. Yes you get plenty of clever drivers racing through this one, and the bridge is closed to vehicles the size of that van.
The newer shape Sprinter/Crafter vans must have a really low air intake compared to the Transits because 9 times out of 10 when it's a full size van getting hydrolocked, it seems to be one of these.
Do the vans fail on the way out because they get water in the intake pipe then it rolls back towards the engine as the car tips up? Or is it just that it takes a bit of time to get enough water through the air filter?
It's a good point. A lot of intakes do have horizontal portions that could hold a dollop of water to be dispensed into the soon to be departed engine a few yards later. Even so, you'd have to think 80%+ of the van failures could be prevented by simply going through slowly. Or indeed 100% by going a different route!
@@rusty911s2 I've just had a look at my intake (Vivaro B), and whilst the air-box is right at the top, the intake pipe goes back more than half-way down the bumper, and I think in fact sucks in vertically from the bottom of the bumper. Not a great fording design. I'm not sure how easy it is to suck water up 60cm in an 80mm wide pipe, but if the end is submerged it's not going to get any more air in. So once the pipe-volume is used up you are in trouble.
Slowly fills the intake pipe work / intercooler then when they accelerate on the way out the engine takes a big gulp of water. Same reason a lot of the time they’ll sit idling with a lot of steam out of the exhaust but as soon as they try to pull away they’ll cut out again.
Was trying to work this out! I think they must be worried about water ‘getting in’ to the cabin… so if they go fast, the water will have less time to leak in. 😂 They don’t think about the air intake at the front at all… clearly.

Many vehicles have the air intake pickup point low down in one of the front corners behind the bumper. The other point to consider is the road closed signs. Chances are you've just voided your insurance by driving past them.
There's been a lot of rain recently. Unfortunately, ditches and general drainage is poorly maintained, and there is a policy of building thousands of houses on natural flood plains. Therefore, there is nowhere for excess water to go. That's the reason and not the easy and lazy response "oh it's climate change"
Everyone drove past the sign that said ‘Road Closed’, with an abandoned Volvo in the way too. The local garages must be rubbing their hands together at the enormous repair bills and stacked up work. It looks like if your engine starts with a regular ‘knock’ you rev the bollocks off it to clear the fault ?!.
AA has warned the drivers should avoid from these flood roads and puddles (do not through them or your vehicle may affect the engine might damaged by there will warning engine light on or your vehicle might vibration during driving). Using alternative roads where are not floods. DO NOT THROUGH FLOOD ROAD - TAKE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE ROAD COULD SAVE YOUR VEHICLE!
ATTENTION TO ALL DRIVERS : Drive slowly in this water, Know where yr air-inlet of yr car is situated. If water comes into the air-inlet yr engine is full of water and will be a very expensive repair or even not to be repaired anymore. You are WARNED.!!!!
Even if your engine doesn't suck up any water or if your electrics don't succumb... surely plunging a hot engine block into cold water isn't a good idea
Cones, signs, the slowly decaying corpse of a volvo-rebadged chinese car. TH-cam commenters: "why do you film but don't inform the drivers that it's dangerous?!?!"

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Craziness 😮
They should include such videos in driving school lessons. And maybe make driving school lessons a mandatory item in the UK.
Mate these vids are quality 😂 never cease to amaze me in the slightest 😭😭😭 I’ve lost faith in humanity
@ 05:28, just need the old Emmerdale Farm theme tune. 👌
The Vivaro driver XD "Hmm.. this seems like a bad idea... fck it lets go"!
Love all the signage at 3:31. Amazes me that people drive past all the signs, cones, the stranded muddy car into what is essentially a mud pit. And I'm glad the guy at 7:55 turned around. That would have been one of the most iconic hydrolocks on the channel with the overpass right next to it.
Some of the most impatient and worst driving in Europe brought to you by the United Kingdom. I encountered a similar sized puddle in my bus and I dare go through it because of my passengers safety and because there’s always another way around. Only downside is I had to reverse a big bus back about half a mile 😂
0.16 🤣😂🤗 that foklift van did it get a lift or tow 🤣😂🤗
That first generation Sharan is always around 😂 does it have air intake above 1 meter or what is the magic here 😂
6:15 I enjoyed seeing those "greens."
Brum brum... splash splash, bang bang.. tweet tweet 😂
Tractors are just like "Get out of my way!"
was hoping to see myself on here as i went though this twice a few days ago but I wasn't one of the lucky ones lol that poor volvo wonder if its still there 😅😂 there's another nice spot in bedworth woodlands Lane it's clear now but maybe one for future videos 👍🏼
That poor Alfa Spyder😅😅😅
And the old smiley transit!
@@barryrathbone That is a beast..no problem for him😉
7:06 Smoothly done !
The Alfa was the bravest.. 😂
Most of these people seem quite happy to go through what appears to be close to liquid mud!
That last clip looks like Eynsford. I've never seen anyone try driving through the ford there as they all use the bridge that's been built for the purpose. OK, it's a narrow bridge, but it's hardly a busy road where you'll need to wait more than a few seconds to wait for someone else to come over it.
Eynsford Ford is just a short distance from me. Yes you get plenty of clever drivers racing through this one, and the bridge is closed to vehicles the size of that van.
Choo choo
The newer shape Sprinter/Crafter vans must have a really low air intake compared to the Transits because 9 times out of 10 when it's a full size van getting hydrolocked, it seems to be one of these.
3:20 That Alfa Romeo emerging from the flood is a poor man’s James Bond submarine - if you squint hard enough…
Things get difficult with a motorcycle. The tires look like an inflatable boat!
This is why Aliens will never visit us.
Thats Fenn lane , went past there a couple of hours ago and the black volvo is still there , i went the sensible route through shenton
How close was that muppet Defender driver eh to that car🤷♂️🤔🙄
Do the vans fail on the way out because they get water in the intake pipe then it rolls back towards the engine as the car tips up? Or is it just that it takes a bit of time to get enough water through the air filter?
It's a good point. A lot of intakes do have horizontal portions that could hold a dollop of water to be dispensed into the soon to be departed engine a few yards later.
Even so, you'd have to think 80%+ of the van failures could be prevented by simply going through slowly. Or indeed 100% by going a different route!
@@rusty911s2 I've just had a look at my intake (Vivaro B), and whilst the air-box is right at the top, the intake pipe goes back more than half-way down the bumper, and I think in fact sucks in vertically from the bottom of the bumper. Not a great fording design.
I'm not sure how easy it is to suck water up 60cm in an 80mm wide pipe, but if the end is submerged it's not going to get any more air in. So once the pipe-volume is used up you are in trouble.
Slowly fills the intake pipe work / intercooler then when they accelerate on the way out the engine takes a big gulp of water.
Same reason a lot of the time they’ll sit idling with a lot of steam out of the exhaust but as soon as they try to pull away they’ll cut out again.
@ So the steam comes from the water passing into the turbo, (which is always very hot, even on the intake side), presumably?
Why did the Silver van launch into the water from a standstill? Got to have caused some damage
That Tanvic van is going to need more than tyres to get in going again!
Why do some always accelerate when the hit the water? xD
Aby voda rychlejia snadněji pronikla do sacího potrubí, proto všichni bystří chlapci a děvčata zrychlují když najedovou do vody, to je realita.
They wasnt in the school =)
‘Cos they want to make a big splash.
Was trying to work this out! I think they must be worried about water ‘getting in’ to the cabin… so if they go fast, the water will have less time to leak in. 😂 They don’t think about the air intake at the front at all… clearly.
Когда мозг размером с горошину, то понятно чем они могут думать, просто нечем😂
The last one with the sainsburys van isn't in leicestershire, its in eynsford in kent.

How do people not know how to drive through water? Has no-one ever told them? It's baffling. Should be part of the driving test. That guy revving up and ploughing into! Just incredible.
OMG, the last one. 🤣
Por que pasan por sitios asi?
Idiotas
It’s like they think if they drive fast they’ll skim over the surface of the water 😂
One idiot after another , dirty smelly foul sewage in vehicles as far am I’m concerned & no sympathy at all for hydro locked engine or smashed pistons or ruined transmission / electrical problems .
Twin exhaust pipes on that Fiat 500, sounds like there's no exhaust at all

I went through there today in a 2024 ford focus no problem
All that time and nobody thought to remove the black volvo from the flood? It also looks like it floated more centrally to the road as well.
drive very slowly, then there is no water accumulation and it does not flood the bonnet, i.e. the air filter, not drawing water into the system.
Many vehicles have the air intake pickup point low down in one of the front corners behind the bumper. The other point to consider is the road closed signs. Chances are you've just voided your insurance by driving past them.
"Look...why take a chance?.......at least that's the way I feel about it."
What's with all the flooded roads in the UK? Bridges?
There's been a lot of rain recently. Unfortunately, ditches and general drainage is poorly maintained, and there is a policy of building thousands of houses on natural flood plains. Therefore, there is nowhere for excess water to go. That's the reason and not the easy and lazy response "oh it's climate change"
Alfa and water wtf !
I thought the same M8, an Alfa only needs to stay outside in the rain to be a rust bucket
@stevem7868-y4l it's not just that but the electrics !
Everyone drove past the sign that said ‘Road Closed’, with an abandoned Volvo in the way too. The local garages must be rubbing their hands together at the enormous repair bills and stacked up work. It looks like if your engine starts with a regular ‘knock’ you rev the bollocks off it to clear the fault ?!.
The only car thaylt actually waded at the proper speed was thw abarth 500 😂
That Alfa spider after him was textbook
Wonder how long the xc40 was there for?
Absolute melts
Alfa spider & Fiat 500 🎉
AA has warned the drivers should avoid from these flood roads and puddles (do not through them or your vehicle may affect the engine might damaged by there will warning engine light on or your vehicle might vibration during driving). Using alternative roads where are not floods. DO NOT THROUGH FLOOD ROAD - TAKE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE ROAD COULD SAVE YOUR VEHICLE!
I think your preaching to the converted
Did anyone else notice the tractor clip the mirror of the stranded van?
Intelligent life is rare in the UK it seems
Love to see the "kiss of death white smoke" from the wanna be submarine captains
Volvo en medio del charco?
So many people think, if they drive a diesel, it won't be affected by water. As soon as the water soaked the air filter. It's over.
They all go to fast
ATTENTION TO ALL DRIVERS : Drive slowly in this water, Know where yr air-inlet of yr car is situated. If water comes into the air-inlet yr engine is full of water and will be a very expensive repair or even not to be repaired anymore. You are WARNED.!!!!
Ford Transit '94-'99 👍......water ? where?
It says something when the bikers are being more careful and intelligent than the cars...
If they had any sense they wouldn’t even try.
Well they couldn’t see the road closed sign.
When an Alfa can make through a puddle but not your Sprinter work van...
Absolute plums
Worst thing to do on a motorbike is to hesitate, either go or don't, same goes when overtaking or pulling out at junctions.
That cars been in there for a while now
WTF was the 1st bike rider up to ?
If I see a Volvo SUV stranded due to deep water.....I'm not going to attempt it lol
Good way to destroy your Italian sports cars cant believe the Abarth and Alfa drivers risked it ? Maybe they were after an insurance payout eh ?
The first few vehicles weren't a great advert for English driving abilities! 🤔
Even if your engine doesn't suck up any water or if your electrics don't succumb... surely plunging a hot engine block into cold water isn't a good idea
Cones, signs, the slowly decaying corpse of a volvo-rebadged chinese car. TH-cam commenters: "why do you film but don't inform the drivers that it's dangerous?!?!"
3:00 i wonder if his mom knew he'd taken her car through a flood like that?
Road closed means i must try to prove them wrong .
Something should be said for Italian cars lol
What black Volvo? Oh, I didn't see it..
Stranded car + someone (or a group of people) filming. We share the road with these idiots!
*Don't need Columbo to deduce the cause of sudden expiry*
The owner of the Volvo obviously doesn't give a toss about his/her car.
I'm guessing it was fairly worthless by the time it got abandoned
Ah, the white smoke of engine death.
White, isnt smoke, but the Steam. Water is in the Engine. Blue, is Smoke, Oil burning - Engine damaged. Black, is smoke too, but to much Benzin or Diesel, Engine damaged.
no, they cant see the stranded car lol
It's not even deep there lol should have been there when it first flooded. For anyone concerned the volvos been there nearly 2 weeks now 😂
🤦🏾♀️
When somebody says Americans are dumb... WTF are these guys then??
