Excellent selection from this year , thanks Ben . What surprises me is the way a lot of drivers , after having slowed right down on the approach to the water , then speed up once they in the water . What makes them do this , any ideas . ?

Some think it's a traction issue, maintain momentum and all that. But if you're deep enough that traction is an issue you definitely shouldn't be there unless you've got a full snorkel kit and the rest.
These videos are daily reminders that we share the roads with absolute zombies that do not even think about anything and just live life on auto pilot. Pathetic
Everytime I watch these videos I´m shocked. What do these people think driving in this kind of water? Do they think at all? I really don´t know. 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.
@@wykydytron Isn´t that scary to know that people are allowed to drive but don´t have the simplest sense on what they can do with a car and what not? If common sense doesn´t help these people to not ruin their cars I think they shouldn´t drive at all. How can they be trusted in traffic to do the right things?
That was a problem I had with my Honda Civic, it would begin to float and lose traction, but I soon fixed that by removing the bungs in the floor to let it sink down far enough to get a good grip on the ground 🤗 no worries 👍
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 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.
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 😂
This compilation is so satisfying. It reminds me that I am a sane person in an insane world surrounded by insane people. Just why would _anyone_ try this? Especially with camera crews filming 😂
What's going on with the BMW at 13:39 ? The front wheels are being towed, the rear are turning backwards. Is that what happens if you tow a 4WD in gear with the engine locked ?
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.
8:30 FYI, on a sprinter van the towing eye & jack are under the floor @ the front passenger's feet. You release the plastic cover with a coin or screwdriver. With this being a bus, there is no conventional passenger front seat.
I’m amazed by the poor decisions and poor knowledge of some of these professional drivers. No awareness of the implications of wading with a vehicle and little to no post wading recovery experience.
Just because you drive a white van doesn't mean your a "professional" driver. Drive them on a car license and driving about as a delivery guy doesn't mean you have special skills, training or knowledge...though the HGV drivers should have known better!
@@grahamwishart4832 I think these van drivers would agree with you but I think you’re wrong. If you drive a vehicle for your job in any capacity you are by default a professional driver; Class A, B, C or D it doesn’t matter, get paid to drive you are a professional driver. I can assure you HGV drivers don’t get any special wading knowledge as part of their training. Are you suggesting that taxi drivers aren’t professional drivers? Moped delivery drivers aren’t professional drivers?
@@a3b6609 I'm using "Professional" to mean someone who is trained/licenced to a "higher" level eg HGV, PCV and carries out ongoing CPC. Just because you drive for a living does not mean that you are a better driver... The classes of people you mention like to think of themselves as professionals because it sounds better in their mind. Don't get me started about taxi drivers (minicab) or lads on mopeds!...
@@grahamwishart4832 I wholeheartedly agree with you on that, whatever they call themselves (taxi drivers, mopeds drivers etc) they are absolutely not professional.
Excellent compilation. Surprising that most drivers still go through water over 3 feet deep. Then driving too fast and flooding the engine. That car taking out the spark plugs was clever but there was a lot of water in that engine.
I once had an old merc 190d .. and drove it slowly through a flooded road up to the door handles, but i knew the air intake was at the top of the engine. It certainly impressed the coppers who had closed the road.
The Ingenium engine in that Jag F-Pace was bound to fail in the near future anyway. Causing it to ingest a few gallons of filthy river water is just hastening the inevitable.
There's a RR velar ingenium, lying out the back of my work, looking very sorry for itself. It ingested one of it's swirl flaps. Whole front end off, engine & transmission out. It's propped up on a few alloy wheels. Been lying all this year. It would be safer to just scrap the Indian heap & be done with it.

Just goes to show you the numpties that councils will employ. As thick as two short planks.
What amazes me is the ones that actually start back up
If you're lucky and don't get any on the electronics, the engine might be able to "cough out" the water it sucked in.
The bus driver tried his luck once two often 😂
