Why is this so fascinating? 🙄 it's half 1 in the morning and I'm only 14 minutes in. I need to sleep!
@@Jacob29nufc 🤣🤣😁
It’s 3 am
The ones in suitable vehicles are more cautious than the people in unsuitable vehicles is the lesson we have learned here 😂😂
This is very true 😂
Aha love it Greg, need to catch you here sometime 😂
That bus probs had luggage in the under lockers. Wise decision drive
the bus was empty
Yhe bus was empty and also the luggage would be above the rear wheels on our coach
YES
That's a good point 👉
What an excellent idea, to showcase the possible need for a breakdown truck ! - It would have been amazing publicity for your company, if one of those vehicle owners had broken down there, and needed a tow !
xD yarp that's the goal
Sort the intro music level out it's way too loud!
Yes Greg I agree it's way too loud, & always has been too loud.
You should take a look at where we live. On UA-cam put in Mersea island Strood. We have a causeway that floods several times a month and the idiots that drive through and get stranded is ridiculous 🤦♀️🤣 we have a camera so we can watch the action over there.
I'd do that in my rubbish Freelander. I think Mill Lane, Acton Trussell was deeper today, and even an Aygo made it through that.
People just drive through water like it’s nothing then stuff happens and they’re surprised. Whatever speed you think you should drive through water go even slower and whatever depth you think your car can go through unless it’s purpose built, it’s probably less. Most cars’ wading depth is less than 10” basically if it gets to the engine at all, plus the extra splashing, it might not end well.
Berry’s superfast from Taunton in Somerset
Go on tell us all again... How do you win a race?
Somebody needs to clean the drains
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why is it flooding there? Prevention is needed, the fuel station is at risk.
I wouldnt drive through that. It can cause some terrible damage
Your fuel is way cheaper down south.
4556 Isabell Common
I wouldn't be going through. It's not the engine that's the problem, it's everything else. Water getting into electrical connectors, suspension joints, bearings and even gearboxes (those have breathers). Just not worth the few minutes extra it would take to go around.
How are Burke Bros able to have the blue and yellow. Looks more like a cop car than recovery vehicle
They get away with it because its only illegal if the blue is reflective. On their vehicles, the yellow is reflective but not the blue.
they are always parked on the bridge just before J2 on the M5 NB, everyone slams on the brakes 🤣🤣🤣
Also its not full batenburg police cars have a level grid
I think exactly the same thing about Burke Bros when I see them around Stafford. The flooding was awful here on other roads too. Last year our car was scrapped after the power steering was destroyed after driving through a flood on Beaconside.
Was I taught differently when I started driving. All them cars in the intro not one of them tested their brakes after they cleared the flood
Brakes get wet all the time in the rain. It’s no different here
This was true with drum brakes, I don't know of any modern vehicles with front drums, so not necessary.
Yeh, the only time you can use your left foot on the brake
@@johnspear3452
Even my 1989 Honda had discs on the front.
Burke bros.. absolutely useless
When i was taught to drive we were told to approach flood water with caution and proceed slowly to not produce bow waves, not too fast to prevent aquaplaning.
Oh crap!! hose pipe ban incoming..
Was always taught not to drive through flood water because you never know whats underneath. Having said that if I was local and knew the road I would chance it.
As a former cocky land rover owner, off road prepared with off road tyre, body lift, snorkel for wading and much more I found out the hard way during a flood.
Manhole cover was dislodged and smashed my wheel as I smuggly drove through.
About time the council sorted that road….
i did it in cornwall in my coach the claim for bags was £400 a bag x 96 passengers i nearly got sacked .
Oh crazy
@@guy4469 luggage is over axels on this coach
Fuel is cheap up that way! Only just started coming down in Surrey 😂
Sandon Road is always a nightmare when it rains heavy, you’d of thought highways would have done something about the drainage by now!
It’s been looked into many times, it’s an impossible job. You’d have thought shell would have moved the forecourt by now though 🤣 the Skoda!! 🤣
Remind me - What does SLOW & STEADY do ?...................... 🤣
@5:57 electric Skoda. No worry about flooding the engine.
139.9 for diesel, jesus we're paying 169.9 on average here in North Norfolk!
I drive all over the country… since the virus of unspecified origin, the standards in just about everything has regressed. People are dumber for it!
is not so much about the engine, its the locution off your ECU
any car that hydrolocks because the idiots drive through floods should have their insurance refuse to pay out
My luck I would get stuck. Another great video Greg. Now if a Traffic Officer was there doubtless chaos would ensue 😂😂😂😂
I would never no matter what im in drive through any body of water like that whats the point go round a differrent way all it takes is a tea spoon of water in engine hydro lock then the classic try to restart it snap a rod absolutly nuts all they gonna do it get home sit in front of telly go q different way
I'm surprised you had time to stand and film for so long.
Thanks for blowing my eardrums out with that intro
Again, climate change will be blamed for this, not lack of maintenance and / or poor design!
I don’t get why people insist on going through, it’s like 2 minutes to go around the other way.
Hail rain or snow... always someone floating about with a pair of shorts on. 🤔
I will never understand what possesses people to slow down, enter the water, then floor it. Absolute stupidity.
As you say, "Slow and Steady", why do so many drivers not know how to tackle the water?
The funny thing is they could just turn down Oxford gardens
am i the only one to be amazed the amazon van isnt dented on every panel, (all vans in my area are trashed)
Peoples stupidity will NEVER fail to amaze me 😂
What about unblocking the drain
why is it always flooded there?
There is a stream under the road.
aint worth going through when theres a d- tore
There seems to be a pattern on these flood videos, BMW's can not handle water!! especially Minis it seems. There have been a LOT of Minis hydro locked.
Free car wash 😂😂
Would reversing through it be a better option?
100 percent ✅
Cloud seeding pilots are back to work. 2 days ago was clear blue sky hot weather.
Did those 2 young lads not hear the flood warnings on the news? But decided to chance it.
It's good getting the bow wave going, however what happens when a car going into the opposite direction also creating a bow wave those waves meet in the middle, is that water still going in the air intakes on both vehicles?
Im hoping the coach driver wasn't on the Berrys Superfast service! 😂
(South West to London)
looking at depth compared to wheel centers, was it really more than 20-25cm deep?
why dont they fix this its every 2 weeks it must be known by the council and the police .
Just out of curiosity, how long were you stood filming? 😂
It's nothing new it's been going on for 30 years or more .🙅
'ey up Greg, lake sandonia strikes again 🤣🤣🤣
You do know where to pitch you don't ya 😅 easy pickings
It’s mad how they’ve not done anything to sort the flooding out at all
Serves them right a lesson taught expensive repair bill
How's the flooding in Stafford now?
You must have been having a quiet day that day Greg! You weren't looking for custom were you?
Oh believe me far from quiet. But got to make some content every now and then!
😅
It amuses me how so many of these scientists creep up to the waters edge then send it, foot down!
Yep pretty mad lol
I'd have gone around
WHY DONT THEY GO VIA HENRY STREET DOWN OXFORD GARDENS AND GET OUT ONTO CORPORATION STREET ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
Maybe because they don't know that way ...its not rocket science ...😂😂😂😂
Free car underside wash
What I find amazing is that no one bothered to check their brakes after driving through the ford, puddle, pond, call it what you will. Though I did think the Renault at 4:46 was going to.
No need with disc brakes. I mean they'll possibly be a bit weak for half a second or so, but not really an issue. Remember, disc brakes are exposed to the weather anyway.
If you're in a vintage car with drum brakes, then yes.
@@tin2001 Yes, disc brakes are less susceptible to failure. Nonetheless it is still a good practice to perform to be on the safe side, just in case.
Likewise after driving over mud on the road left by agricultural vehicles always test your brakes. Which is another practice I seldom see.
Hi was nice meeting you at the tow show on Wednesday so much to see
Thanks for coming! GDB
Here we gooooo 👍👍👍👍
Amazing watched all ya videos be careful today be safe
Not sure why Mr GDB is getting pleasure out of watching people during a difficult time
Just shows what sort of company your run, disgusting 🤢
Behave yourself.
Filming people driving through flood water
Im just a member of the public with a camera 📸
If i didnt video it, you couldnt see it.
Thanks for the watch and see you on the next video
