If I drove up to a ford with people filming I'd turn around and go the long way round.

You can literally hear the driver of the white BMW destroying her engine, revving the nuts off it and hydrolocking it.

Take note of the registrations so you don’t buy a buggered engine 😂

When your car starts to float you perhaps realise you've bitten off more than you can chew

These videos clearly demonstrate that national intelligence is at an all time low. God help us.

I've heard some seriously ill engines over the years but that white 1-Series 🤯

Imagine spending 10s of thousands on a car only to wreck it to save yourself a few extra minutes taking the long way round

The mentality of some of these drivers is breathtaking.

Bless all these people for proving that common sense really isn't all that common.

🤣The moron in the white BMW is comedy gold!I've watched it 10m times!

The Jag driver 😂 what a bell end ! He looked totally bewildered

Why would you take your Jag through what is clearly marked as a near 3 foot deep body of water?

Interesting, the Ranger with >800mm wading depth hit's the water at the perfect speed. BMW's with wading depth

That white BMW's engine smashing itself to pieces

pro tip don't go in water where someone is filming waiting for suckers to go through

There are a lot of people on the road who do not know the basis of how a car engine works (looks like all BMW drivers if this clip is typical). If you plough at speed through a ford, the engine will take in water instead of air resulting in a stalled engine at best and a ruined engine at worst.

Some people really shouldn't have driving licences!

Darwins waiting room is full to bursting 😮

The ford did that water crossing perfectly

The old guy with the jag didn’t look physically or mentally fit to be on the road

That white BMW, the engine sounded like a bag of spanners. Can they not hear the damage that's being caused?!!

Jag with marker saying water saying 3 feet deep. What a total plum

Interesting to watch a high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle cautiously drive at just the right speed immediately followed by some loon launching their car as if it's a lifeboat coming down the ramp. From the death rattle I'm surprised the pistons didn't come though the bonnet.

It's wild that the route around that ford is a whole 5 minutes

That white BMW, I guess that little Hermione won't be making it to her pony riding lessons today because mummy buggered the car up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

3:35 if only there was a way of gauging how deep the water is?

The amount of people who don't understand how an engine works and are quite happy to destroy their cars for our entertainment is never ending. Notice how it seems to be the people driving SUVs and German cars who think their cars can drive through anything "because prestige". Love hearing that engine Hydrolock and the owner still trying to start the engine.

0:45... expertly done!. Ease into the water slowly, create a bow wave sit behind the bow wave, keep the revs up and the speed down.

Look at me in my jaagg oh sh😂t now I’m floating !!

0:59 BMW=Bring My Workshop 😮

I guess some people confuse cars with submarines…. Here’s a clue …. Submarines don’t usually have wheels 🛞

I wonder if anyone has tried driving over to the Isle of Man? 😂😂😂

ITS CRAZY HOW FAST PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH THESE FLOODS, CREATING A MASSIVE WAVE TO ENGULF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT - COMPLETELY NUTS - I came across a flooded road a few weeks ago , maybe a foot deep - i turned around and went the other way AND I DRIVE A LANDCRUISER - im not taking any risks on getting stranded

IQ is still dropping across the board..

Obviously some drivers think the depth indicator boards are there for decoration.

Wading depth for the Jaguar is 50cm!. Creates 1M bow wave. But it floats well! Waddles off leaving wipers and electrics running!

Amazing, an SUV truck that drove through sensibly. Wow - ! 😅

I don't know what the funniest bits are. The £50,000 trashed out of incompetence, the slow walk through 3 feet of cold, dirty water or the realisation that the insurance won't cover taking a Jaguar through a deep flood that was clearly marked.

For "Try your brakes" read "Try your brains"

For some weird reason i love the BMW ones far more than the others. Cant explain it

Knock, knock. Who's there? Rodney.😂

Shell Ford brings out all the loons all year round but when it's 3ft+ deep, I'm amazed people still try it. At that depth, the water is usually running very fast and could sweep a lightweight car downstream.

Second-biggest investment you make, after your house. Do these people flood their houses for fun, too?

Some things to think about. What is under the water that might have fallen off another vehicle and might wreck your tyres or bodywork? What happens when you plunge a hot catalytic converter into ice cold water? How fast do you need to got to make sure loads of water splashes up into the engine bay and gets sucked into the air intake and into your cylinders and destroys the engine? How slowly to you need to go to ensure not enough exhaust gas is coming out to prevent water pouring up the exhaust pipe and into your silencer? And finally, why are loads of people standing beside the flooded road with cameras rolling? Seems like these people are helping us answer some of those questions. 😂

That grey Jag that floated off 😂 …what did he think would happen in 3 feet of water?

The Jag was actually floating.

I can't believe people do this 😱 I struggle to believe how idiots some people are! I am living in England, my second winter now, and I couldn't really think people would drive on a flooded road believing the have super powers or something.. Unbelievable, thank you for opening my eyes to the reality 🙄

I used to work at BMW Worcester and every time it flooded we'd get loads of BMWs in with flood damage mostly the X series models. I have worked at other brands in the area and not had a single floor damaged car come in. Says allot really

Its really important 1 - to know how deep the water is, 2 - know where your air intake is. I tried this in my Ford Escape many years ago. Air intake is in behind the front bumper. I panicked and put my foot down. We ended up getting towed to a storage yard overnight. I went back the next day with father in law who is a mechanic. We unscrewed all the spark plugs, used a long screw driver with handitowels to dry inside each, started it up and eventually drove it home.

I was at a site that had a flood right next to it so the council closed the roads as it was a drain issue, for 2 weeks it was shut, cones and signs at the nearest junction that you HAVE to drive around with huge signs saying closed for flood, then just before the flood was a complete 2 layer wall of cones, sure the farmers were fine in tracters and even Defenders so we left them to it as we weren't local and they were BUT it got so bad with people moving the cones we would say to each one, "We are sick of putting the cones back so you have a choice right now in life, turn around or go through, just make sure you put the cones back so the next person has the same choice", you would then wait to see the headlights head into the dip, water noises, then a flicker and darkness again, 5 minutes later a dejected soul would trudge upto us to wait or try and stay warm where I would tell them how bad hydrolocking is and because your satnav was showing as closed the insurer would not be paying, was like a monty python sketch, after 2 weeks 12 cars had been written off, from used nissan micras to brand new week old Mercedes SLK(which was sat in water at window height for 2 days with other cars passing) and even a Porche Cayenne...all for the sake of 1 turn and 10 seconds extra, like momma used to say "stupid is as stupid does".

Every single flood driving video starts with a BMW.......Its almost as though they are saying BMW drivers are the most useless! Imagine....

We used to.love cycling to shell Ford as kids ...usually for picnic and swim ...but also during floods ..used to get 50 pence to push cars out ...ohhh the memories

I would never take a BMW through a ford, the air intake is far too low. Everyone should know the safe wading depth of their vehicle and don't even try it if the marked level is above that depth. I can wade up to 700mm in my vehicle - that's about 28". The latest Land Rovers can wade up to 900mm (36" / 3'). And slow and steady is the rule.

Some of em are as thick as mince when it comes to negotiating water.

3:39 and at that moment he knew he'd f**ked up! 🤣

I like the ‘try your brakes’ sign. How about ‘try your engine’?

If you've done better than most in life and ever suffer imposter syndrome, just watch this and you'll most likely recover immediately.

In many parts of the world there are these structures built to allow travel over waterways

I imagine that the insurance refuse to payout in situations like this 🤔

River Ouse floods every year on the road into our village in Bedfordshire, I think the BMW drivers see the range rovers ploughing through and don’t want to be out done . Traffic light gp syndrome .

That old boy walking away from his flooded Jag reminds me of the baddie in the Indiana Jones film-“what’s happening to me?”

The first ford - Shell Ford was local to me as a child. The local farmer was always pulling cars out (1970s)

It's almost as if the traffic cones had been placed there to stop people going through the flooded area, and someone else thought I'm going to move them out of the way so I can get passed.

What's even more mind boggling is the fact that, upon leaving the water, some of the drivers feel the need to accelerate the whole 12 meters to the crossroads only to have to stop. Th¡¢ka$p¡g$h¡†.

And to think that these people walk amongst us 😮

It always seems that people who drive BMWs think they actually bought a U boat .

Instructor - you want to create a gentle bow wave. Lady in BMW - no I will make a tsunami.

Lets all sing the i need an engine rebuild song 😆😆😆..... jeezus , and the bird in the beemer would not take no for an answer , you could hear bits of engine going tinkle tinkle tinkle lol , that engine is going to be a total write off would be my guess .

the jag that just started floating off tho lmfaoooo

That Beamer near the start was making some interesting sounds

After watching these videos, I made the effort to find my engine air intake. Its right below the bonnet latch, so it's not very high. Either I will be going slowly through the water or take another route.

1:44 If the driver was to put their phone down, they might be able to concentrate on what they're doing.

The white one series engine sounded like shaking a box of lego! Lots of little pieces in there!

That red car at the end : “do I? Don’t I? Okay here we go.. slowly creep forward. Easy, easy.. actually think I’ll go the long way after all. Back up back up!” 😆

Why, after abandoning their vehicle in 3 foot of water, do they seem to always leave the ignition on, (as indicated by the windscreen wipers merrily doing their thing)? And as for leaving the door open...🤣🤣🤣

Omg… imagine driving a jag through 3 feet of water at speed 😂

I live very close to these fords, people have driven into them, been swept downstream and drowned.

These people are among us. It's just mind blowing.

The white series owner will put it up for sale with the ad reading: “great little runner, no issues, no knocks bangs or rattles”

I love the beamer, turning into a steam engine. Well funny.😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Jag that started floating… 😂😂😂

You shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortune, but 😂😂😂 at the Jag' owner at 04:01. Got himself in a dilly of a pickle!

😂😂😂 Rodney came nocking under that bonnet!

@1.50.....remember being a kid in Grandads tool shed back in the 70's and picking up those Golden Virginia Tobacco tins and shaking them and listening to all those rusty nuts, bolts, screws, washers etc etc rattling around inside😁 then all of a sudden @4.00 Grandad gingerly turns up to collect that box to fix his own car.🤣😂🤣

Glad I’ve got a pick up

4:18 “My brain!! It’s around here somewhere”

4:15 when a sign needs to say don’t be stupid instead of 1M 🤣😂

Where exactly is this?

Nice Bailey panel foot bridge bring back memories mostly made by Appleby frodingham steel works Scunthorpe 👍

Oh my, the red BMW stopped further down the road, gently steaming with the hazards on.... priceless. And the white one seems to have hydrauliced the valves, so full engine rebuild needed.

Wer zum Henker lässt diesen alten Mann mit seinem Jaguar noch fahren😢 man sieht an seinen Bewegungen als er aussteigt dass er nichts mehr auf die Reihe bekommt😮 der Mann ist doch schon komplett verwirrt😢 das sind die Menschen die nachher Gas mit Bremse verwechseln und fahren Menschen tot 4:10

The bmw driver is a true genius. Those people are already far from smart to drive through that water but when you then have your car stalling and make weird sounds, to then continue to start the engine over and over and reving it...genius move. It`s like the driver intentionally wanted to make sure his car is a total write off. Like he hated his car and he wanted to make 100% sure it dies.

New idea for your YT channel, flooded engine autopsy, the white BMW would make an ideal first candidate!! 😮

xD when i saw the smoke from that van

If you floored, it turned off your engine just as you hit the water. Would it work if you past the water? Since nothing should have been sucked up

Old boy didnt even bother to look back, Just opened the door and started walking back home

BMWs made me laugh. The Jag made me cry

the noises at 0:56

That Jag floats pretty well

Jaguar driver; more money than bloody sense.
