What other use are they?

I guess this is what constitutes a police response in Bedfordshire lol... it's not even that deep I'd take my Astra through this no issue.

it's a national DISGRACE. Rapes, murders, burglaries all get the brush off with "we don't have any spare resources, here's a crime number for your insurance" but no shortage of resources to stand around at a puddle eating bacon butties.😠

@@JustOneQuestion I’d take my Mini Moke through that, no problem 🤣

No that's a Cadbury's chocolate telephone, he was having an early lunch.

Force of habit lol

Probably better than the numbers that would need to be called out when the idiots get stuck.

It is useful to be told the depth before deciding whether to give it a go.

@@bikeman123 that's what the black and white depth post is for

Common sense is not that common.

Even if the vehicle has a suitable wading depth for the water that only applies if you drive through at walking pace. Not like these scientific illiterate’s

English Islanders haveing common sence .... best joke this year / decade .....

You saw people move the barriers when they weren’t there so you can see the need for it. Police aren’t just for solving extreme crimes.

See the man driving the grey VW van on his phone. There's a crime right there 🙃

@@chris_anon88 "Crime"

Oh don't worry, if someone gets misgendered on the local Facetok page they'll be off with the blue lights and sirens before you can say "Terf". They know the real priorities do our plods!

Because there won't actually be a TRO in place, We don't see what's on the highways signage, could just read "CAUTION FLOOD WATER". And there's nothing stopping any motorist driving down a temporary road closure, police cannot stop you unless your likely to harm yourself or others. (Insurance small print will restrict you from making a claim for any damages though) They will have had conversations with regular passenger car drivers recommending they turn around but taller vehicles told "proceed at your own risk" you know doing community policing like the old days.. Many rural roads where left closed for 7+ days local to me recently due to flooding, after 12 hours I was more than comfortable driving both my Landrover and Work van down all but 2 of the "closed" roads. Highways left the road closure signs up for days after most roads had been completely clear for multiple days. If we had listened to the highways signage our entire village would have been blocked off for 4 days even though 2 of the 3 roads out of the village were totally clear after the initial "flash" flooding from the field run off had drained away.

So this is where they are when you ring 101

nonsense. keeping the revs up stops the water from filling the exhaust and stalling the engine. i guess you are a youngster.

@@wagmiorngmi No Laddie I am not, and you don't need to keep the revs up to keep water out the exhaust, normal engine speed is more than enough. I guess your not technically qualified, Son.

@@robc8593 Total nonsense. You don't have the first clue what you are talking about. Go back to playing your Minecraft, kid.

@@wagmiorngmi What is that kiddo?

@@robc8593 Sorry, normal engine speed is not enough. The exhaust leaving each cylinder continues moving after the valve closes. This creates a vacuum behind the gas, pulling some gas back towards the valve. The exhaust therefore pulses, which can be heard and felt at the tailpipe. Normal tickover, will draw some water in each time the exhaust pulses, but does not expel it all as the gas next pushes out. On many vehicles it will gently fill the exhaust with water, and can draw it back all the way to the cylinder, including pulling it up. Whilst this seems to go against expectations, and apparently defy physics, it does happen, and has been seen to do so, including in experimental testing. If, however, anyone wishes to disprove this, by all means park in a pond at tickover, film it, and let us all know how it goes. Good luck. Much easier to stay out of water, unless in a boat.

At least these people are of some use then. 😄

@ they support the work of car repair shops 😂

Proper hero’s , 🤔🙄

Yes, but that would mean doing some actual work.....

No it’s not America

Nope. Just the home of third world rape gangs.

Sutton ford

He can’t afford a new engine?

It's not a boat

@@pure_awareness no, it's a perfectly capable 4wd, that's what they're made for

That's not the driver

Fair enough

That was Ben.

Leave the poor lad alone haha

Dollars 😅

None of 'your' tax dollars went into this whatsoever

Queen dollars.

_dollars?!_ Good lord

You can be certain no "tax Dollars" were spent here...
