Cars love salt water. It really lubricates everything.
😂
Yes♥️♥️♥️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even stainless has no chance.
Yeah subframes love that!
When I'm by the ocean I always make sure to park in it.
Sure does! I recommend most people do this. Helps with brake and rotor maintenance aa well!
This guy's described as a "brave driver." I think "moron" would be better. Can't imagine the salt water damage to his car. And I hope they made him pay every cent back for the cost of his rescue.
Who cars about the car. That can be replaced...
Only a moron that calls another person a moron thinks the value of the car is important over ones life!
Now that's what I call "a salt in battery."
@@timothythomas8082 this comment wins the Internet
😁 Thanks Lynn
Guess you are right. Hope he washed the car well afterwards. I am having a hard enough time cleaning my car (especially the underside) from all the road salt after the snowy season. Cannot imagine what all that sea water will do to his car if he did not wash it properly!

Uber Payout: $4.37
yea but the tips help lol
Car maintenance costs: $4370.00

@@VERITASPUREBLOOD they steal the tips
For those people who don't know about this place or where it is
1) it's a causeway to the holy island of Lindisfarne off the East Coast of the UK with a population of about 180 people. 2) it's not a bridge but a causeway it's too expensive to build a bridge or raise the causeway. 3) The person you see coming down the stairs was actually a passenger in the car, he was seen emerging from the car at the 1.28 minute mark. No one lives there it's a refuge for idiots like this driver to either embarass themselves by phoning the RNLI or waiting for the tide to fall.
I have a 6” lift on my truck and I still wouldn’t have done something that stupid..
Gae
Ain’t that what lift kits are for ??!!!!
Situations like this or stuck in mud
@@BRobinson28 not for saltwater and definitely not for swimming 😂
You’re so smart. Is that why you work a bonehead blue-collar job making pennies? 😂
That's literally the point though 😂
Just spend a couple of hours in the shed chatting to the monk. That's one off the bucket list!
or chanting more like
😂 werd! 🎉
Can you imagine how utterly peaceful it must be to sit in that refuge at high tide? I'm kinda jealous.
Well I mean, if you get there by foot, if you like this guy you probably thinking about your car, not peaceful at all😂
Depressing also
Also is there a toilet?🤔
@@sammypooh1311 (points at the sea)
So he takes drone with him on every ride??? 🤣🤣🤣
No Sir, he actually takes drone with every Tide😂😅
It's probably their supervisors drone.
@@moeemuddinshah8640lol
Some ppl do yes
😂😂😂
If only there was some way to know when the tide would be coming in…
Yeah,it’s called a tide chart and you can get them free everywhere….what idiots!!!!!!!
That's lunacy, that is.
Right!? 😅
@elizabethnothstine4715 He's speaking sarcastically, idiot. He's mocking the guy for not using a tide chart app.
No, what's idiotic is not building a real bridge for people to safely drive above the water instead of this useless causeway.
Thank God a Buddhist monk appears
He new somebody would need help he new someone would try to cross that bridge the monk just feel it haha.
I don’t understand why monk didn’t help him with his telekinetic powers to get thru the water
@@bamf6603 It's because the monk knew the driver must pass this test alone. 😂 lol
I’d never risk my vehicle in any flooded situation and absolutely ruin it. Your vehicle & safety is worth way more than the rider is paying!
Times are tuff every little bit helps.
@@birdman6427yeah times are tuff so the best plan is to risk losing the one thing that makes you a living makes sense that 😂
Getting your vehicle flooded just for a fare isn't worth it.
Ok thanks for letting us know.
@@steverox87 calm down karen
@@AtticusDenzil Uh oh, you must have been the asshole stuck on the bridge. ☹️
But doing it for some views online is worth it
THANK GOD THERE WAS A COINCIDENTALY CONVIENT DRONE NEARBY TO CAPTURE THIS UNSTAGED VIDEO EVENT
You've made stupid assumptions. You've done no research on the location. If you had you'd quickly realise it's the most drone worthy location for miles around.
Stick 'Lindisfarne' into Wikipedia, then into a Google Image search.
Then do a news search for the articles about a stranded Uber driver and Holy Island, which interviewed the drone operator. Who was unsurprisingly there for the castle you'd see if you stuck Lindisfarne into Google Image search like I suggest.
And then please shut up.
@@artgreen6915 He made wrong assumptions, not stupid ones. It's not wrong to make that kind of assumption with how common it is to come across staged content that is trying to be passed off as real.
@@artgreen6915 I'd take making an incorrect assumption any day over losing control of one's impulses and lashing out in a UA-cam comments section.
@@wobblergongMy thoughts exactly, like INCEL found 😂
@@wobblergongsorry, stupidity is exhausting.
Why is a monk living in a shed on a bridge?
They aren’t. It’s just a refuge house if you were crossing and the tide came and you got stuck there. You just use it to wait for it to lower so you can walk again.
It's his vacation home.
The monk was the one operating the drone.
@@JasbirSingh-zj1fg I was about to say that 😂
Because it's a road to Holy Island. 😅
"I know a monk lives right there: let's go ask him what to do"
Monk: call 911
monk: welcome to kamar taj
@@jatin5raina how dare these noobs distract monk’s meditation
The little raised building up the stairs is there for a reason. These aren't the only idiots in the area.
That guy lives there and sells hot dogs.
There's plenty more idiots in the sea.
🤣🤣🤣
How stupid of that driver!
How stupid for not building a real bridge over that water for people to get safely from one side to the other. Nah, let's just build a causeway that gets flooded on a regular basis to inconvenience people and put them and their vehicles in danger and still charge them for a toll. 🙄
People just underestimate tides, on average 1 car a month gets stranded, I live on an estuary with sandbanks and dog walkers are always being rescued, people not used to being near the coast just don't realise how fast a tide can come in, they also expect the tide to come in from the direction of the open sea, but it's the opposite on Holy Island, the incoming tide actually hits the far end of the road next to the mainland first, that's why they have to stop at the shelter as the last section of road is the deepest.
Yeah I walked to St. Cuthberts Island from the main beach across the dry sand, took two pictures there and went back and it was already ankle deep.
A coastal island near where I grew up had a very popular place for surf fishers ... extensive sandbars at one end that were all or mostly exposed at low tide. Of course, a few deeper channels that you'd have to wade through to get out to the bars farthest out. There were plenty of accidents when the fishermen (too late) decided it was time to get back and turned to see they now had a significant incoming tide and deep channels to cross. Most would make it and count themselves lucky they only lost all their gear. Of course, the area had all sorts of warnings and anyone fishing out there usually had heard all the stories ... but still it happened.
@fjkelley4774 where was this?
Holy Island - also known as Lindisfarne. Off the Northumberland coast in North East England. With the North Sea coming in ...Near the Scottish border and Berwick on Tweed.
@@dalek3086I hope you're not replying to RyanSarath1319. They were asking about the story their previous commenter had given about a similar location that could have been thousands of miles away.
He had enough balls to drive all the way to the bridge.He should’ve just stuck it in reverse and gone back!
he'd have gone over the side
The water had risen too much more
As he was going forward tide was going up ....he reached the point of no return .
Attempting that stunt was really stûpıd !!
Even if the water level had stay the same n he was a perfect driver he could not have backed through that water. Backing through it would force it up the tailpipes n kill the engine quick.
@@babykinns2.0 So 74 & rising daily think I’m right,& 4 so far of you losers think I’m wrong.I love UA-cam!
Who builds a bridge that low?????
exactly
It’s a land bridge
The guy in the refuge booth. He's doing a study on how many idiots would tempt fate twice a day. Sometimes, he does it for laughs, other times because he's lonely.
stupid bridge design
It’s not really a bridge, it’s a highway. It’s a road on ground level. The water isn’t that high up. Look it up on UA-cam and you will see the time lapse. Pretty cool stuff
"The tide is high, but I'm holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.... "
We have a winner....🤣
How high did the water get? Over the roof of the car? Coast Guard seems like an expensive and unnecessary remedy. I hope CG billed them. Why couldn't they wait it out in the shelter? This is how lessons are learned.
Our coast guard comes out only if a person is injured. Alabama coast.
You can tell how high the water gets by looking at the high water mark on the posts holding up the refuge shack.
Not really clearly seen for water marks on the posts; but I know what you mean.@@WarHawk-
Looks like the RNLI, so a volunteer organisation.
Driving through salt water, brilliant. 🤣
It’s Volkswagen it’s rust proof
Fancy calling out the coast guard when there’s a perfect refuge half way.
I mean it took them like a hour when all they do is just sit out the water anyway
Except car will be useless after getting flooded stood there.
@@johniooi3954 Coast guard don't rescue cars. I hope they charged the driver for the rescue.
@@johniooi3954I can’t imagine they would have rescued the car too! They should have just sat it out. Although it does feel a bit suspicious that there was a drone present the whole time!
Vorsicht vor der Annonce: "Gepflegtes Auto mit geringer Laufleistung günstig abzugeben" 😂
It's an RNLI lifeboat, crewed by volunteers, not the Coastguard, which in the UK doesn't man any boats but has shore stations co-ordinating rescues and crews which aid from the beaches and cliffs.
Le Taxi
That buddhist monk should have invited them into the tower for a spot of meditation and a cup of tea until the tide went back out
Well yeah, that's what I was thinking too!
it's a £5000 fine, 6 points on your licence and premiums go up for being stupid
I checked this exact place on streetview and it's amazing. While it's completely flooded here, on streetview the shot they took was almost completely empty of water. It's so surreal to find a place where it's almost devoid of water then the next few ours, it's an ocean.
I’ve been to Holy Island a couple of times. Beautiful island! I have watched the water come over Cribbs Causeway and trust me, the tide comes in quicker than you think. The danger signs and tide times are there for a reason. It’s unbelievable the risks people take with not only their cars, but their lives as well.
They live amongst us
😂😂😂
So am I the only one who saw the person walking at the beginning of the video
Nope. Saw that myself. Would have walked past laughing.. 😂
It Was Jesus
It was the one with the drone
it was the drone operator
I saw that also!! What happened to him???
"But Google maps said this was my route" -fkn mo ron driving
The salt that’s gonna rust your entire car away: Act like I’m not even here baby
The owner might want to sell it after this .Remember the numberplate, don't buy that one
This is definitely a stunt for views. No way the fare can make up for the cost of the salt damage.
@@davidmcinnis154 A bit daft if it's just a stunt that gets a lifeboat called out.
@@davidmcinnis154You're underestimating how stupid can people be.
Good thing that the camera crew happened to be there 😂
Yep, they just find a good spot, set up their equipment and then wait...
For the idiots to arrive.
There’s always dumb people out there doing dumb things. 🤷🏻♀️
@@missymarie2698 no no no
Ms.Gullible
Someone said this happens like monthly, so the drone operator would not need to wait too long. Bit like can opener bridge?
@@xehpuk it happens twice a day it's high tide it even says that in the video
@@mikemartin9869 I know, what someone said in another comment I interpreted as a car trying to pass a bit late happens like once a month.
The driver must be a good swimmer. To have seen what's happening, and he still went in anyways.
Is that monk just sitting in that little room meditating? For real
Exactly, in a tiny shack on stilts in the middle of a random bridge, he’s riding out the flood
Hes making medicine in the room😂😂😂
I'm sure you're jesting but he was in the taxi front passenger seat it's merely a refuge for idiots who drive across the causeway ( not a bridge for those that think it is ) or walk across for that matter
I don't get it, why risk driving through salt water. Even the vapor is bad enough
For some reason it felt Satisfying
The driver was called Cnut. A really stupid one.
Who was operating the drone camera ?
How did the drone operator know to be there at that time and place ?
Maybe an enthusiast just strolling nearby? Nowadays, drone is a common thing. It is almost everywhere.
This happens twice a day at high tide and high tide information is readily available
@dante0817 you can see the drone operator walking along the bridge at the start of the video
Stupid is as stupid does.
So what happened to the car?
For sale on E Bay, one careful owner.
The Coast Guard should have told them, "Just wait until the tide goes down. You will be OK." But no. They have to waste their resources "rescuing" stupid people who don't need to be rescued. Spending a few thousand dollars/euro/pounds to reduce the wait for some stupid, entitled people by a few hours.
most of the people are stupid who neeed their rescourses..
They should have charged him for parking!
not sure it's quite like that. The people in the boat are likely local volunteers and they probably enjoyed the opportunity of a call out to test their abilities, that's why they do it after all.
Becasue 100% something "more important" was definitely happening.....
If this was the US, keep talking about Coast Guard. Oh, wait, it's not the US! Funny, doesn't the whole world have Coast Guard?
Let’s be honest here the majority of Uber driver’s aren’t lets say the sharpish tools in the box😂
I took one in London that drove the wrong way down a one way street and got angry when I pointed this out to him🤦🏻
You mean 'not local'
@@count69 stock piled migrants to do cheap tech labour
Atleast you admit who the real culprits are, most wouldn't for fear of being called a racist White coloniser.
@@no1brittbarbiefan colonised by whom? Conan the Barbarian 😂
A rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a buddhist monk walk up to a river. The rabbi looks at the water, steps onto it, and walks across effortlessly. The priest is shocked. The monk takes a look and then also walks across the water. The priest is in awe of this miracle. He takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, steps and //*splash*//sinks right into the river. The monk looks at the rabbi and says, "Did you forget to tell him where the stepping stones were?"
You must be Jewish
🤣🤣🤣
Where the flip did the drone come from 😂
hats off to the people that built this road .
So WTH HAPPENED?!?!
Car was outfitted with styrofoam to ride out the flood😂😂😂
At least it was a VW...probably needed to be recalled for the TDI thing anyway
The people that think this is ACTUAL NEWS 😂😂😂😂😂
This music tho 😂
Bgm of the video actually helps the viewers to forget how bad and terrible that situation would be
Thank christ he had his drone with him
Props to the cameraman for conveniently following the car this whole time
If the video at the end was the top of the tide then the car is probably ok. He was also safe in the shelter. No need to involve rescue services.
it rises to normally 4ft/6ft above the causeway, higher at exceptional tides or bad weather.
Well thats one good waterproof car😂
I have had that dream before didn’t realize someone would actually be stupid enough to try and cross😮
Fine him the cost of ALL emergency help
Thanks to drone technology we get to watch life-threatening stupidity in action as it unfolds.
Turn around, don't drown! Why cross in the first place?
A man would do anything for providing his family
I don't care if my kid got in a car accident and is at the hospital, it's my first day at my new job and it's my wedding day, all rolled into one. Gonna have to call and say I can't make it.
Attempting to cross that bridge isn't an option.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
He does that because he gets paid by the minute. He routinely goes out there with a tourist at just the right time and winds up making gigantic fares.
that rental will be at the auction soon ......low miles and slight rust problem
Imagine what the bridge troll guy was thinking watching that car come on.
Insurance : “ so there is water damage on the vehicle ?”
Driver : “ no Sir … maybe”
Came here from tom scott trivia question
Now he drives a boat taxi.
That will shortly turn into a submarine.
Never risk your vehicle to impress others.
REASON: Other will not pay for your loss.
As the passenger i would have never let him proceed with me in the first place, aint no way in hell i would trust a stranger with my life like that
I drove for Uber before. When a ride pops up on your phone it’s hard to turn it down lol 😂
Don't this guy know this could be salt and that damages your car very fast
The more I watch, the more questions I have
X Files😂😂😂
Costliest Uber ride of all time.
Costly for him too because he would have gotten a 1 star rating.
This is the Holy Island causeway in Northumberland UK.The road gets completely submerged to 4 to 6 feet of water, and high tides can come up unexpectedly. The road is a mile through the sea and two miles around the island. A cybertruck has a wade mode that allows it to cross 3ft of water which is on par with the Land Rover Defender. A Ford Ecosport can wade 1.7 ft of water. Around 10 people a year get stuck on the causeway and call in emergency services.
RNLI? not Coast Guard.
In fairness a Coastguard Auxiliary wagon is in the background of the lest shot! 😂
Must be a stunning place in the summer
When she says she's home alone:
Thats crazy!! I would have been horrified just approaching and seeing that the land was under water and turned my behind around!!! The balls of her/him to even make the attempt!!
I know! I have a recurring nightmare about just such a situation although to my knowledge I've never actually seen it before!
Thanks for recording this, cool story
That sure was not best thing to attempt 🙄, but thanks for sharing 👍 greetings from England 🏴❤👋
i thought the driver was mad.
but when i saw a person few distances behind the car is walking casually💀
Waste of money and taxes.. both should be jailed for life
It’s not bravery it’s stupidity ☹️
That's not a brave driver. This is the prinicle of stupidity.
Amazing engineering on that Bridge! Claps, claps! 👏💩👏👌
So there just happened to be a drone flying in the same area at the same time
Thank goodness we didn't get to watch this story on MrBallen.
What a genius.
Creates the need for a no-star review.
Hope the driver received a bill from the coast guards 😳
The world's most useless bridge.
He did well to get where he did
Who would build a bridge like that? They know the bridge is gonna be useless once the tide is in. Doesnt make sense.
It's not a bridge but a causeway that floods over twice a day when the tide rises
Natural selection!!
😂😂😂
Brave bastard
Brave or stupid?
I just had a dream this happen time woke me up sweating and seeing this makes it even more terrifying 😂
Who made this bridge ??
You can’t imagine how strongly they were all willing the drone to fall into the fucking sea.
My dude was not missing that job interview 😂
I think there is lack of context. The driver made it halfway already under water so why couldn’t the driver go through the other half?
