@@deki90to it definitely was completely floating as it’s 3ft of water plus I was there after to help him to push it out of the water while it was completely floating and I could feel it was very light as it not touching the ground plus a car would still float for a few minutes even if it was in 50ft of water, front end is heavier as engine is at front but would still float for a while but will sink after a few mins
This is definitely an eye opener for me about many seemingly normal people's intellectual capabilities. I will be much more careful on the roads from now on!
50 yrs ago when I first moved to the area I was told don’t go through the Ford, especially after it’s been raining, that advice kept my car running and me dry ever since, simples!
How far is it to get to the other side of this using other roads instead of trying to go through the ford? Is it miles and miles or something given how many people seem to attempt it?
@@garybeast956 it adds about one mile to the journey that most people would use the road for. The ford is regularly very shallow hence why people are regularly stupid about it
i remember years ago seeing someone come to a halt after attempting a flooded stretch of road...an AA man came along and got the car started and the owner drove off smiling...i praised the AA man but he just said yeah i got it started but that engine is fucked.
I love the ones where they attempt to roar away after making a big splash as if fully in control with the bent con rods clattering, shedding under tray scraping on the road and the particulate filter belching soot. Pride certainly comes before the fall.
the white golf guy tickled me for some reason… from the steering to the way he seemed to act like this was a perfectly normal everyday occurrence and the way he managed to climb out of the window leg arm and head at the same time.
0:35 I never paid any attention to the awkward way he got out of his car until I read this comment. I'm in stitches. It doesn't even look like his leg.
That black Merc that went to drive down the river is exactly the kind of air head that drives these prestige cars. How they manage to get them is beyond me.
Can actually be done if you don’t speed into it. Had to do it once when I was caught in a flood and the water level raised around me. I had to dismantle the interior afterwards to dry It but car didn’t die. Having said that, given the choice, I wouldn’t do it.
You can, in a vehicle with enough ground clearance and the air intake high enough for it not to be a problem. I've done 3ft in a Nissan Pathfinder, but you can't just plunge in full speed. Gotta go in slow, build a bow wave, and keep going.
Most 4wd's in Australia (and probably world wide) raise fuel/diff/gearbox/transfer case breathers to at least bonnet level and fit a sealed snorkel to protect the air intake BEFORE attempting any water crossing of significant depth. Lemmings just drive their unprepared vehicles straight in as you can see in these videos ....... and immediately suffer the highly expensive consequences.
@Fraser True, they help keep dust out of the air filter (and also therefore out of the engine) on those sorts of roads, but they are considered essential for water crossings deeper than the vehicles stated wading depth (usually around 600mm) to avoid the engine potentially ingesting water and getting hydro-locked. What many people overlook (apart for the need for a snorkel in the first place) is that fuel tank, differentials, gearbox and transfer case all have breathers that are rarely placed high enough and all of these components can suck in water as well, especially if the car is driven into cold water at normal operating temperatures.
Maybe I'm missing something here. I live in the Caribbean and there is no way anyone here would see such a heavily flooded roadway ahead and just plough into the water. I'm thinking, wouldn't it make sense to go at it slowly so that the engine isn't drowned by a rush of water? Why are these stupid drivers attempting to speed through a flood which in some cases are much higher than the air intake of their vehicles? Look at the trucks that stalled, if they had gone slowly they would have been fine so what is this thing with English-people and nonsensically ploughing through floods?

Now and again look under your bonnet and get a grasp on what is where and how it works.
Nearly 3 feet on the gauge and these clowns expect to drive a family car through that depth? There must a a special station either side of that ford so when the gauge reaches 2 feet, they all get pulled in and have brains removed. That's the only logical reason I can come up with.

I guess many of these drivers do not have basic reading skills (or poor eyesight. which beggars why they are allowed to drive) ... The level indicator shows just under 3 feet. Once fetid water floods the passenger compartment (as well as the engine), for insurance purposes most 2 year and older vehicles are classed as write-offs. Interior components are not designed to deal with water ingress....even if its not, try selling a car where the cabin has been compromised by floodwater... you can never get rid of the smell.....its worse than a smoker.. Copart has hundreds of ex flooded vehicles for sale that look ok from the outside but were classed as write-offs.
I just don’t understand how so many people can approach this amount of water, in their vehicles, and mentally come to the conclusion that it is actually feasible for them to make it across.
Once upon a time cars were pretty simple. The air intake and carb. was high up on at the top of the engine, they were not packed with vulnerable computer chips and expensive electronics, they usually cut due to a wet distributer and drying the cap and leads plus a squirt of WD done the trick. Nowadays it seems it's the drivers that are simple and their wallets are as deep as the ford.
Im more irritated by the incorrect spacing on the plate. Car shops should not be allowed to print plates if not legally correct. A bill is slowly going through parliament, I hope, so that eventually it may be points on the license for plates like that and not just a fine. I tell you, its nobody else's fault if drivers cannot stick to the rules.
For Sale: One lightly used Scania Truck, has trouble starting - we suspect a faulty starter motor, a new one should get you one your way! (Note: all sales are final & non-refundable) Yeah @ 1:21 that sounds like a a hydro-lock
I think people think they’re going to get stuck so they try to go as fast as they can to hurry up and get through before the car gets stuck.But your on concrete and your not going to get stuck.
Can’t stop watching these videos, I even came down last Saturday to watch some tools drive through and you guys thought I was there to sink my car 😂😂 nerr I’m good thanks I understand how water doesn’t make the engine go brum brum .. I’d love to know how these people explain to the boss how they destroyed the expensive truck or their car by driving through a little bit of water.. I hope the insurance company tell them to go away they aren’t getting paid and the boss tells them to clock out for the last time and sends them the big bill for the new engine. All I have left to say is for all those who have driven through this Ford and for any future idiots that drive through the Ford and entertain us is this >> you silly ba***rds
The thing about driving into puddles, is to keep the engine turning over fast, not driving fast. Many of these drivers adopted the same technique as they would for snow, which is a mistake. Low gear, high revs, and go slow.
The road signs clearly say the the road is closed.. Could insist on trees being planted on the uplands to absorb the rain fall. But you can definitely rely on people making stupid choices if you give them an option what to select
This is maybe one of the best videos from this place i've ever seen :) Almost everybody got a lesson, including trucks :) Also never seen it at this water level in other videos, this is the highest level of water, almost over pedestrian passage...
The first one is very important, if your car goes into deep water it will go upside down. If you need to escape, do it fast before the car is submerged underwater as the water pressure won't allow you to open your door. You can use your head rest to take out a window by popping it off, it's best to buy a special seatbelt the window punching tool...take care 😊
@@brianash1080 If that first car had gone into a deep body of water like a lake, it more than likely would of flipped. The engine drag the car down while the air keeps it floating for abit, I was using this as an example to show what could happen :)

Is it that much of a detour to get around the ford? Because it seems to be a very expensive shortcut if you hydrolock your engine and/or end up with electrical problems later on.
WTF!!!! that is not what "hydrolock" is, its what off roaders call "swamped engine", change the oil and all is good. why the F are you talking when you don't have a clue what you are talking about?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? YOU ARE THE PROBLEM STFU
every time iam astonished by the stupidity of these people, they think you can drive a normal unprepared car though this much water without damaging the car, especially with the speed they use SMH I wonder this must be a recurring event so are they( specially the locals) not aware that cars stop working for years if they drive under water with them
I have a rule if the water looks to deep say 60cm or 2ft unless I'm in a 4wd vehicle I'm not crossing it. The dude in the discovery had the right idea his engine did sputter but it kept going. When you see the water height at almost the foot bridge level get a bloody canoe mate!

If I was a mechanic, I know where I'd build my next shop.
Pumped to watch your channel growth bru. I respect the grind.
A bru is a coffee right?
@@nickmartin812 a brew is a coffee yes.
I love it when they continue to try steering while floating.
This is truly concerning, these people are out there all around us
it's funny as hell that they have a bridge to walk on
Is it that much of a detour to get around the ford? Because it seems to be a very expensive shortcut if you hydrolock your engine and/or end up with electrical problems later on.
WTF!!!! that is not what "hydrolock" is, its what off roaders call "swamped engine", change the oil and all is good. why the F are you talking when you don't have a clue what you are talking about??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM STFU
It depends where the 'Found on road dead' Ford broke down!
They should make this place part of the driving test.😄
Volkswagen still seems to make airtight cars, I see!
natural selection :D
hydrolock city , some of those engines will never be the same even when `fixed `
every time iam astonished by the stupidity of these people, they think you can drive a normal unprepared car though this much water without damaging the car, especially with the speed they use SMH
I wonder this must be a recurring event so are they( specially the locals) not aware that cars stop working for years if they drive under water with them
The most of them stopped bcoz they enter in the water very fast
If we have to cross water like this then enter in to it very slowly
I have a rule if the water looks to deep say 60cm or 2ft unless I'm in a 4wd vehicle I'm not crossing it. The dude in the discovery had the right idea his engine did sputter but it kept going. When you see the water height at almost the foot bridge level get a bloody canoe mate!
SCANIA 😭🤯🤬 That truck could go to the MOON 🌙 and back… if it had a good Driver 😎
1:08: a "professiona"l driver???? How did he ever get his HGV licence.
He needed water on the windshield to get the bugs off, none in the squirter reservoir. Genius 👌
