      If, as I assume, you're from the UK, take comfort in the fact you have a death rate on the roads that is a third less than France, ten percent less than Germany, and 60 percent less than that in the US (going here on deaths per miles driven; if you go on deaths per population the US looks even worse). Only Norway, Sweden and Switzerland do better -- and it's only by a very narrow margin.

      It’s because if done correctly,the wake prevents water entering the engine bay! It’s a fine line between two fast and too slow though! and some vehicles it’s just not possible! As water will force it’s way through every opening and inevitably end’s up permanently reducing the compression ratio!

    I wondered if you'd get down here eventually. This is my 'local' ford and it is locally notorious for wrecking cars; it can get really deep after a rainy week and it's quite common to see abandoned cars on the approach roads. Last year there was one left just floating about near the depth gauge. The river Wid (which crosses at Buttsbury) also regularly floods the roads leading to the ford from the Billericay end in the winter. It's all rather watery.

      Possibly a sign changing from 'Ford' to 'Impassable River' would help. No it wouldn't whatever am I thinking.
      An interesting thing I notice on the roads is they have an instant ability to put the Flood signs up on the road but no system to remove them afterwards. So a month or so after a flood the sign will still be sitting there forgotten and ignored by all which does rather negate their effectiveness.

A brand new Mini was in the process of doing this when a truly massive 1937 Buick blasted effortlessly through and hit the mini. Nobody was hurt thankfully, the Buick had dented overriders and the mini was totaled. I'm 72 years old and have NEVER ridden in a mini because of this!!! Great vid, keep it up mate👍👍👍👍

    Unexperienced drivers either don't care about their cars or just don't give a 10-minute walk-around to find an air intake when they're buying a car.
    1. Read your car's manuals for specifications and mechanical limits like max. water height.
    2. Be smart and drive through deep water as slowly as possible.
    3. Don't try to be a main character and drive into the water even faster and through the water even faster.
    The faster the object the harder the water on contact.

    What possesses people to go that fast through deep water. I mean the minute the front of your hood is submerged your in trouble. Because you've already gotten water into your grille and engine bay and all it's vital components. Not to mention it starts going up your exhaust pipe your screwed. Slow and steady folks or better yet NOT at all. Considering the inner flood damage you do to your interior. And that is worse getting fixed than the engine. Simply because of mold and mildew build up if it isn't properly dried and cleaned out.

      @@Gandeloft I thought it wasn’t possible too until I found out transmissions have air vents on them to balance the barometric pressure inside the unit with the outside air so water can get in. You won’t know your car is damaged immediately, but you will know after driving it for a little while. Therefore even if you know you can make it, you might pay the price later next time you get maintenance done on it.
