A guy I know has a jeep he uses for ice fishing. It's not street legal, only for the ice. The only thing different about it is about 75 ft of rope tied to the bumper with a buoy on it so when it goes through the ice he can find it again in the spring. He's retrieve it twice now. Takes about an hour to get it running again. Of course he's completely insane but then that helps.
Everyone ran left him sitting there looking into the hole lol couldn’t have saved the vehicle but damn coulda been there for dude hopefully got him a ride back
Last dude was seriously debating if it's a manly custom to go down with the ship! Gtfo there bro you ain't pulling that out by yourself! Lol, I GET it but bro it's done! Save yourself now!
That’s not entirely true, there are quite a few insurance providers that do cover vehicles that fall through ice, also, several states will allow the owner to make its own arrangements to retrieve the vehicle in a timely matter, some states will give the owner a few days or so before stepping in and retrieving it for them this slapping them with the bill, the only fines the owner might receive is if there’s any pollutants leaking from the vehicle.
Absolutely , those dumb asses are 100% responsible for sending it to the bottom. Lets see, get a running start first with out even trying to just pull it out, break the chain..... fix the same chain,,,,, try the exact same thing,,,
I was wondering when they would learn to put multiple chains on it. They didn't. Also wondering why, with a lake with a maximum depth of 36', they didn't leave chains on it when they had the chance. Now who wants to go down there and hook 'em up?
Perhaps he knew that gravity would not apply for a short time in that area and wanted to be ready to save his car. I blame the ice road trucker show for these vehicles being on the ice, and Trump as well
@@blakejonesmusic1456 Why not Trump? Everybody blamed Obama for everything when he was in office? Even Obama made a video of himself trying to dunk a cookie too big for a glass of milk and said "Thanks Obama" :D
I know a guy that drove his brand new, 50'000.00 dollar truck onto a frozen lake. It fell through, insurance did not cover the loss, plus he had to pay almost 40'000.00 dollars in recovery fees, including fines for contaminating the lake....
I've read that popular ice fishing areas have this problem alot. At days end, many people leave at the same time. They create waves in the ice. When those waves collide, the ice weakens or even breaks.
I remember decades ago as a kid going out on the ice in Maine fishing. This particular time there was a bit less than a foot of ice as I remember towards the beginning of ice season. We were out a ways from shore and along comes a giant pickup truck with oversized tires crossing near us maybe 50 feet away - couldn't believe someone would take that out on ice at such little thickness for such a vehicle. We're over probably 70+ feet of water and as the truck passes we can hear the ice buckling, sounds like thick rope stretching beyond its limit and the ice is spider webbing. My dad called for us to lay flat to help disperse our weight in case it broke everywhere. I remember laying there scared as I could ever be. Fortunately it passed by and didn't go through and kept going down the lake out of view. I've learned ice thickness varies a lot, especially on big lakes, pressure ridges can occur causing ice to be thin and ice can be very thin near where an inlet or outlet occurs - any moving water under ice is dangerous to cross over. I've known people over the years who have gone through. Some made it out and some didn't. For me, I like over 8 inches to walk on and over a foot to snowmobile - I did take my truck across our lake one year it stayed 40 below 0 for 2 weeks and we had over 42 inches if ice that year - probably wouldn't do it again, though. It's ok to be out there but use good judgment and be safe.
yeah, I didn't know about them either until a teacher from my junior high school brought it up (years ago). It's a reason I wouldn't cut across big lakes on the ice. The footage at 7:00 look just like such a thing... big lake (you can't see shore from anywhere on it) and the way the ice had built up along a ridge where his back tires are, then on the other side of it looks different somewhat and drops down again.
@@Attic2U you are covered here. most people dont know this, but you are even covered if you are drunk and wreck your truck. Google it. It doesnt matter how much of a dumbass you are, you are covered with insurance if you have full coverage.
I’m an adventure seeker. I love taking risks and challenges, especially driving on frozen lakes. I push my luck when driving on thin ice. I get thrills and chills when I hear the ice cracking under my vehicle. Then it gets more exciting when my vehicle goes through the ice and slowly fills with cold water and finally sinks below the ice. To avoid mayhem like me get Allstate.
lets get a 200 foot running start at it and then all scratch our heads and wonder gee jim idk why the chain snapped? some of these guys are mental lol.
It's just basic physics. Even if you had a super chain and a fully loaded dump truck, it would fling that sinking truck like a yoyo and probably total it. Those guys are dumber than Corey and Trevor
The fact that theyve designed a contraption to recover vehicles that have broken through the ice tells me that it happens frequently enough that maybe you shouldnt drive on ice?
That ford couldn't drive on dry let alone underwater. If anything it drowned itself out of shame...I bet there was a Chevy parked somewhere to give the ford driver a ride home :D
Things to take on the ice with you . . . 100 feet of clothesline and an empty plastic jug. When the vehicle breaks through, tie the clothesline to the bumper, pay out the line as the vehicle sinks, then tie the other end to the plastic jug. It makes it easier for the diver to find the vehicle.
I used to work in vehicle recovery in my much younger days. Pulled a lot of vehicles out of lakes. Had one numbskull who would lose at least one car a year while ice fishing. Finally told him to use the clothesline and jug. saved him about $1000 in diver and equipment times fees.
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
That couldn't be what happened ;) nobody hands over their vodka for a stunt like that, unless it's to have it topped off. It would have been, "The hell I can't, here top this off for me, I can't figure out which eye to close to get the bottle to line up."
Totally wrong, there are quite a few insurance providers that do cover vehicles that fall through ice, if your policy has comprehensive, then there’s a good chance it will be covered.
It costs a lot of money to recover a vehicle. I am not sure how much, but I have heard that it is more expensive to not recover your vehicle than to recover it due to environmental fees in most provinces. Remember to subscribe.
100% preventability will not stop utter idiots though..............I am always amazed that the human gene pool is as diverse as it still is.....I would have thought the idiots would have weeded themselves out by now.
To pull a truck out like that they will probably have to wait till spring, then the can get fines from the DNR an the diving company... That probably costs more than both trucks
You can still retrieve it through the ice. Just pick a spot more than 50 feet from the hole and set up the operation there. I used to do this kind of work. Cold, but it paid well, especially when I was the diver.
In the future when theres no more ice and water in the middle of lakes the cars not recovered are gonna be found at the deepest parts of the bodies of water and someone is gonna look at that and wonder how the car got all the way out there without really bad damage or being blown up it will be hard for them to imagine water or ice as being there.
At 10:24 is a Convert-A-Truck helping the rescue party, Reminds me of the Kirkfield Ontario, convert a truck, when It fell thru the ice on Canal lake, cost 1,000$ to get it back to shore in 1990
What a lot of people do not realize is that even if the ice is several FEET thick, deep snow can weigh down the ice, and if there is a crack or a spring, fresh water is atop the ice. If that water is more than a a few inches deep, you're screwed, a typical truck having about 8" of clearance only. I have gone through a handful of times with my sled- water atop the thick ice. I've even done that a few times on cross-country skis. If I am on a snowmobile or in a vehicle, I stick to marked trails and roads, otherwise you are flirting with disaster. 10 years ago my neighbor was out and both he and his girlfriend went to the lake bottom, both dying.
@@stumarston6812 ahhh yes that actually does make sense. Watching this back again at 18:31 you can see he actually does lift the whole vehicle up some haha! He really wanted to save it
Most guys don't realise that there is a fine balance between speed and quality. In an instance, like these, there is a very fine line where speed definitely takes over the quality of the connections.
+Brandon Falardeau Momentem= more force, More Force= it will come out easier, Less Momentem= Less force, Less force= A lot easier to pull out... So which sounds better? More force or less force...
It's Soo satisfying to watch a full sized truck go to the bottom of a lake! A full sized truck never used for what it was made for. Only used to tailgate everyone else on the road and annoy everyone around with screaming exhaust pipes. Now it's at the bottom of a lake! I love it! Now Im going to have a wonderful day!
I would agree that it appears that a disproportionate number of people driving big pickup trucks drive rather annoyingly. One time while driving an icy highway it was funny to count how many "invincible" pickup trucks were in the ditch compared to 2 wheel-drive vehicles in the ditch - the trucks outnumbered any other type of vehicle by a lot.
LOL, that would be the worste!!! Idiot - "Hey, I'd like to submit a claim...." Agent - "I think I saw a video of you the other day....." Idiot - "$%#*&$"
I think that douche is a rather ill places word, because there is nothing that he does that would be classified as a douche move, but rather, idiotic would be a more intelligent way of describing him...
I'm amazed at how people do not even take the most basic precautions, and they end up immediately wishing they had not been so careless. those were some nice vehicles too.
So them genius cut a big hole then set up a crane with a tow truck and another pick up truck next to the hole .. Hey guys how much weight per square do you think that ice can support . I'd have driven the other trucks away from the site till I was ready to pull out of that area Imagine if it all ended up on the bottom ..
at the 1:50 min mark, the guy on the pole, I did that job with my dad in the early 1990s. we used a 2-ton king crane on a 1970s IH cab-over. he has been retrieving vehicles from lake Simcoe since the late 60s. cool job with lots of gruppys, people are strange.
That last guy was like " No, no im not gonna let go, i just changed the oil and this is a brand new set of tires and....and...and......damnit my fleshlight is in the center console....NOOooooooooooo"
Unless it's persistent subzero temperatures becoming a well known passage for vehicles with the guarantee of safety in the seasonal time period, be doubtful. And the larger the body of water, the greater the chances of the ice being on the move. Gaps can open up, freeze over a little bit and be camouflaged by a layer of snow.
when ever me and my dad went ice fishing I now see why he refused to drive his truck on the lake. it's also expensive to have your vehicle fall through the ice.
Great video. The last one kinda da got me though they guy wouldn't hold the camera still long enough to see much and yes I agree they could have got the blue Ford out
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 no this is the block n tackle method a heavy duty come-along and some chains and most ppl have made special T peice for anchoring in the hole, actually the safest way to get a vehicle unstuck from a hole in the ice.
@@gearjammer2107 Every time I seen it implemented it has worked, I sure there are some cases it wouldn't work but at that point I'd think trying any idea would be a good idea.
Don't know, but the potential environmental fines are what someone should be more worried about. They can be HUGE depending where you live. Like $200k+!
Is this some kind of northern insurance fraud type deal? In Florida they "park" them in lagoons. Up north they "park" them under a frozen lake. Gotta admit that's classy. And won't be found till spring at best.
We just got a covering of ice on our lake last week if the weather stays favorable it should be ok to go out. My fish house and pickup weigh 11,000 pounds together and I set my minimum ice thickness of 16 inches 25 years ago, when I tell people that their first response if you dont even need close to 16 inches to support that load? I dont care what anybody says thats my limit and I have never dropped a vehicle of any type through the ice !!!
Karl K Not many people have the capacity to even try and understand the physics involved, let alone the patience to think it through. They are like most idiots on the road, hurry, hurry, hurry. They have plenty of money for road wrecks and vehicle sinking.
Driving onto the pressure Fisher isn't a good idea neither it's actually like the Teutonic crust where one section of ice riding over the top of another one
I agree, all that slack and with a CHAIN no less, what did they expect. Two vehicles hooked together would more than likely pulled it out had they just "pulled it" instead of pretending they were at a tractor pull. On the bright side, theres now some structure down there for the fish lol.
Z STRODE Legally they have to pull the vehicle out. There are HUGE fines that would be laid against someone if they were caught leaving a vehicle sunken in a lake.....likely even jail time. Some may say that it isn't that big of a risk....but it is huge. If your vehicle sinks, you will be caught eventually.
I'm convinced. Cold weather freezes the part of your brain that houses common sense!

Intelligent people who drive on icy lakes and rivers! Now the fuel and oils from the truck will be in the lake. SMART!
EXACTLY
Mark D yeah and the pipeline doesn’t help either when they explode or leak into the lakes lol
It is such small amounts that it do not matter - it'll get diluted very fast.
Yah no. That’s a little off
ZZZZZZ
they could have gotten the blue Ford truck out if they didn't spend all day getting the tow chains hooked up
Most guys don't realise that there is a fine balance between speed and quality. In an instance, like these, there is a very fine line where speed definitely takes over the quality of the connections.
That was an excellent example of aggressive incompetence at work. Feel bad for the guy that owned the truck...considering it was saveable.
Bill Taylor they are idiots for pulling to hard they would have gotten the truck out if they just pulled on it gently lol
+Brandon Falardeau Momentem= more force, More Force= it will come out easier, Less Momentem= Less force, Less force= A lot easier to pull out... So which sounds better? More force or less force...
Ive pulled alot of trucks and equipment out of the mud and snow the only way that has worked for me is to rip on it.
It's Soo satisfying to watch a full sized truck go to the bottom of a lake! A full sized truck never used for what it was made for. Only used to tailgate everyone else on the road and annoy everyone around with screaming exhaust pipes. Now it's at the bottom of a lake! I love it! Now Im going to have a wonderful day!
I would agree that it appears that a disproportionate number of people driving big pickup trucks drive rather annoyingly. One time while driving an icy highway it was funny to count how many "invincible" pickup trucks were in the ditch compared to 2 wheel-drive vehicles in the ditch - the trucks outnumbered any other type of vehicle by a lot.
snowmobile yes, 4wheeler yes, The car you drive to Work? He'll No!
Basically.
I asked my insurance company about this one time. They told me the minute your wheels go on this ice your insurance policy is void lol.
he who? who is he? what will he negate?
Denise Trine and imagine still paying your vehicle off 4 years after it sank 😆
I’d say he’ll yah
The cumulative IQ total of all the drivers on this video COMBINED is less than 2 decimals above a milkweed.
MAX 2 decimals I'd argue less haha
How much damaged are vehicles when they get completely submerged underwater? What works and what doesn’t work after?
A lot of damage occurs, but the damage is WAY worse if it was running when it was submerged. Insurance won't cover it though.
morale of the story: don't drive on thin ice
EXACTLY!!
Luke Skywalker 0
How about just don't drive on ice at all?
@@MrYougotcaught when its thick enough its fine
No ice is guaranteed, even after weeks of -30 , you never know if there's a fracture, air picket, void,
What are ya willing to bet with ....
Chain breaks so the solution is adding another vehicle to yank on the same chain with? Brilliant.
Natural selection has sadly been inhibited by mankind's nature to save the stupid.......
What happened to the vehicles that got submerged underwater?
No idea. Probably got pulled out and the owners probably had to pay some huge fines and fees.
19:33 "I promise. I will never let go, Jack. I’ll never let go."
Pretty much haha
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking... and all that cheezy soundtrack music
And then she let go. 👍
Antonio Porras same old same old 😉😂
God loves fools because he created a lot
"Hey Buddy does your insurance agent watch UA-cam?" "Yeh he's a big fan, why?" "Your screwed!"
LOL, that would be the worste!!!
Idiot - "Hey, I'd like to submit a claim...."
Agent - "I think I saw a video of you the other day....."
Idiot - "$%#*&$"
How did they attach the crane winch thing to the truck
Probs had a diver with 7+ mm wetsuit on
Memo to self - never drive on ice. And if I do, don't expect to pull it out of the water by the bumper @18:53
Probs a smart move.
I thought everybody knew you dont hit a chain hard they will snap everytime.
Apparently not sadly. They chain making companies probably love these fools though.
They are lucky someone wasn't killed when that chain broke...
Not smart
Snap-loading any kind of tether is a bad idea. Snap-loading a metal chain is a _very_ bad idea.
@@Attic2U they are idiots to be out there and not know how to pull out a stuck truck.
Fair
Just curious. Why would you stand on a square of ice that you were cutting out?
Stupidity is the key
Was drinking involved?
I would find it hard to believe that there wasn't
Probably when they got home afterwards. At least that's how I did it.
LOL
LOL at the last guy trying to "Hold on" so the car won't go under the water... What a DOUCHE
I think that douche is a rather ill places word, because there is nothing that he does that would be classified as a douche move, but rather, idiotic would be a more intelligent way of describing him...
excuse my ignorance but why are they driving on an iced lake?
That is the real question here
I think that guy in the end almost pulled his vehicle back out. Or was he trying to push it in?
I agree. If he pulled a tiny bit harder he definitely would have turned into superman and pulled his vehicle out....hahahah
I'm amazed at how people do not even take the most basic precautions, and
they end up immediately wishing they
had not been so careless. those were
some nice vehicles too.
I agree
I keep a window breaking hammer in my truck for such an event. It's in the center console so it can be reached by all seats.
That is one solution
why would the first one not back away from the hole more???
Maybe just to slick
I think a few people may have drowned in this video
+ TheJumboShrimp
It's ok. That's just natural selection at work.
"No animals were harmed in the making of this video!"
LOL
Usually Russians. 😁
It sure looks that way. Not my idea of an ice bath.
Sad... a 25 ft. 4"" wide tow strap would have saved the truck! Who would be out on the ice with a 3/8'' tow chain?? Just crazy.
Lack of preparation No boy scouts in this video
I have no idea what youre trying to tell the rest of the internet. Maybe switch over to metric units will help.
So them genius cut a big hole then set up a crane with a tow truck and another pick up truck next to the hole .. Hey guys how much weight per square do you think that ice can support . I'd have driven the other trucks away from the site till I was ready to pull out of that area Imagine if it all ended up on the bottom ..
I've always wondered how they think that is a good idea...... I wonder if they have lots of the weight distributed in a way not apparent in the video.
the one video with the black truck that sunk in the lake wtf why did they try and pull it out that fast i mean duuhhh i think they did it on purpose?
Exactly, though looked like all these idiots deserved to take a total loss on there vehicles.
Some would argue that anyone that is driving on the ice is purposefully trying to sink their truck...
I drive big trucks on the ice where i live. Take over 80,000lbs across the lake. Stay on the road an know the ice depths.
There are so many factors that most people fail to pay attention to sadly.
Ricky'D 1968 issa blue
A lot of these guys are probably more worried about goin home telling the other half they lost the family wheels under the ice....lol
LOL
at the 1:50 min mark, the guy on the pole, I did that job with my dad in the early 1990s. we used a 2-ton king crane on a 1970s IH cab-over. he has been retrieving vehicles from lake Simcoe since the late 60s. cool job with lots of gruppys, people are strange.
Sounds like an interesting job!
@@Attic2U lots of prep work but still fun.
I bet
Don't know why I don't do this, looks like so much fun.
Perhaps you have a bigger brain that the people in this video haha
That last guy was like " No, no im not gonna let go, i just changed the oil and this is a brand new set of tires and....and...and......damnit my fleshlight is in the center console....NOOooooooooooo"
Can't forget the full tank of fuel haha
Is it very deep under the Ice ?
Probably in some of the videos.
18:32.....dude....sing with me....let it goooooo! Let it gooooooo! The cold never bothered me anyway!
lol
Those last of the season fish you had to have just got very expensive.
But go for it guys I enjoy the videos.
LOL
A friend of mine makes alot of money up north in Michigan doing this and in the summer getting vehicles, snowmobiles, and anything else that sank.
Yikes! That'd be crazy work
Ford ice bucket challenge
Looks like the ice bucket challenge hurts vehicles a lot more than people.....hahaha
Timothy Sherwood haha it was mainly chevys
FORD = Found On River Drowning
Tune in next week for another exciting episode of "idiots on ice"
There is a never ending supply of those, isn't there?
Wait till spring and the new episodes of idiots at the boat ramp
Too true!
Why do they even try to recover the sunken or half sunken vehicles? Aren't they totaled anyways from being so flooded?
Most states and provinces make it mandatory. There are huge environmental fines
Unless it's persistent subzero temperatures becoming a well known passage for vehicles with the guarantee of safety in the seasonal time period, be doubtful. And the larger the body of water, the greater the chances of the ice being on the move. Gaps can open up, freeze over a little bit and be camouflaged by a layer of snow.
It is amazing how people don't think of these things. Thanks for mentioning them.
"I'll have a shot of Darwinism, on ice, please."
And that is exactly what got served.
they went down just like his theory didnt they lmao
Shaken, not stirred.
LOL
is it just me or does that chain around 2:09 look a little small?
perhaps
yeah... but i guess it worked.
Barely
Someone slept through physics class.
Don't most people sleep through Physics Class?
Scott Diamond nope. Physics are interesting ;)
@Calais Xiong I wouldn’t take my DD out on the ice if it were a _yard_ thick. Auxiliary vehicle, a snowmobile or a beater truck, is the tool for that.
@Calais Xiong lol that’s the only time physics you need to know :>
@@shane99ca I would take it out on 13 no problem
when ever me and my dad went ice fishing I now see why he refused to drive his truck on the lake. it's also expensive to have your vehicle fall through the ice.
It is definitely expensive lol
just a couple bucks lol
LOL
Those people who went under did they make it out?
I sure hope so
NEVER DRIVE ON ICE MAN IT NEVER FREEZES EVEN ALWAYS THIN SPOTS ONE DAY YOU WILL LOSE YOUR VEHICLE.
True dat
Meh
I loved the last guy holding on to his vehicle until the end
That is perseverance.
Don't go Bessie! Lol
Steve Leahy I'll never let go jack! Lol
mark demelo and then she let’s go
lol why were they gunning it so hard on the clip in the middle? Oh really the chain broke?? who would have thought
LOL
Great video. The last one kinda da got me though they guy wouldn't hold the camera still long enough to see much and yes I agree they could have got the blue Ford out
Thanks. Subscribe if you want more videos like it.
bore a hole in the ice , wrap a chain around a 4x4 and stick it through the hole and use it to anchor a winch or come-a-long
EZ
Never have heard of that idea before.
U would need 24k lbs winch
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 no this is the block n tackle method a heavy duty come-along and some chains and most ppl have made special T peice for anchoring in the hole, actually the safest way to get a vehicle unstuck from a hole in the ice.
@@patrioticconstitutionalist735 that's a pretty good idea..... If the f-350 owner did that, i bet he would have saved his truck.
@@gearjammer2107 Every time I seen it implemented it has worked, I sure there are some cases it wouldn't work but at that point I'd think trying any idea would be a good idea.
What is the cost to retrieve a vehicle that has fallen through the ice
Don't know, but the potential environmental fines are what someone should be more worried about. They can be HUGE depending where you live. Like $200k+!
@@Attic2U im sure they would be pretty hefty
I would imagine so
13:41 "Like a good neighbor State Farm is there!"
Probs not for in these instances.
Remember to Subscribe.
News Flash, State Farm is laughing at you, you would never get an Insurance Company to Settle a Claim on ANY Vehicle on Ice.
LOL
why people would drive their car onto ice at all is beyond me
It doesn't seem like the smartest move ever, does it?
Is this some kind of northern insurance fraud type deal? In Florida they "park" them in lagoons. Up north they "park" them under a frozen lake. Gotta admit that's classy. And won't be found till spring at best.
They drive out to ice fishing spots... Very common.
@@Tyler-zw4kq Gotcha. Not a fisherman so it has no appeal to me. Thanks for the info.
If you’ve never been cookin fried chicken in the middle of the night in a ice fishing shack listening to ice expanding you’re missing out
Were there any fish in those trucks...?
The fish probably took over and caused the whole sinking of the trucks in the first place.....lol
We just got a covering of ice on our lake last week if the weather stays favorable it should be ok to go out. My fish house and pickup weigh 11,000 pounds together and I set my minimum ice thickness of 16 inches 25 years ago, when I tell people that their first response if you dont even need close to 16 inches to support that load? I dont care what anybody says thats my limit and I have never dropped a vehicle of any type through the ice !!!
Knowing the minimum is so important. Apparently, most of the people in this video don't know the safe amount of ice.
Karl K Not many people have the capacity to even try and understand the physics involved, let alone the patience to think it through. They are like most idiots on the road, hurry, hurry, hurry. They have plenty of money for road wrecks and vehicle sinking.
Driving onto the pressure Fisher isn't a good idea neither it's actually like the Teutonic crust where one section of ice riding over the top of another one
I agree, all that slack and with a CHAIN no less, what did they expect. Two vehicles hooked together would more than likely pulled it out had they just "pulled it" instead of pretending they were at a tractor pull.
On the bright side, theres now some structure down there for the fish lol.
Tractor pulls......now there is an idea for a new video for my channel.....thanks man.
Nunya Bitness Unless it’s in Minnesota. You have 48 hours to get your vehicle out and if not the DNR does it and sends you the bill.
Where was that
Ford truck snuff film?
Lake of the Woods is in Ontario near the Manitoba border
How much does fresh fish cost? The price of a Ford pickup.
LOL too true
A FOOL AND HIS VEHICLE ARE SOON PARTED,
Yes sir
Not soon enough to suit me.
Good one
Lol
That second one was just full on crazy like the whole car was in the water
Bailey Hooper I don't even get why they pulled it out lol its obviously a complete loss
Z STRODE Legally they have to pull the vehicle out. There are HUGE fines that would be laid against someone if they were caught leaving a vehicle sunken in a lake.....likely even jail time. Some may say that it isn't that big of a risk....but it is huge. If your vehicle sinks, you will be caught eventually.
Does full coverage insurance cover stupid choices?
Every policy I've ever heard of is null when you are on the ice.
