Incredible how much people don't understand how engine works

When you see several people on the banks, waiting to film you, surely that must be an early warning you won't make it through!

Any idiot who drives into flood water like that shouldn't get an insurance payout!

The fact the driving instructor thought it would be Ok to drive in 3' of water certainly explains why so many people drive like shit today ! - Not an atom of common sense !!

A note to all van drivers....most of the air intakes are under the van so are more likely to destroy your engine than a car.

Appeal to British drivers: A car is not a submarine!

Tow truck and a card reader, you’d make a fortune

Fitting a 'snorkel' to your LR Freelander does not automatically turn in into a devastatingly capable off roader.

Love the van at 8:17. "Setting the standard for others to follow" 😂

Engage gear,leave brains at home 😂

I loved that suzuki with the fake snorkel 😂😂

These are the same people who hog the middle & outside lanes on motorways, drive straight over mini roundabouts, park in disabled bays, drift across lanes on roundabouts and stop on box junctions.

If I cant´t see the street, I won´t drive in it because I can´t see, what is under the water. Deep holes or other road damage.

I do not feel sorry for these people who have no common sense and for the people who get FIRED for totaling a company vehicle.

Thanks to such drivers, tow trucks and auto repair shops thrive.

the red Fiesta with the old guy is the first car with a good driver!

Lovely old jaguar wrecked 😮 unbelievable. Plus the water in the carpets etc will stink forever. Ps: the VW with speed and with the sun roof open , pure comedy gold 😂😂😂

The worst driving technique is to rush into the water, which flows under pressure into the air filter and then into the engine.

it's like watching moths burning on light bulbs

Guy in the jimny is a right plum, bet he thought he was the big I am flying in there 🤣🤣

Unbelievable lack of preparation,not one person has fishing gear.

8:07 "Setting the standard for others to follow" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Range Rover with a snorkel drowns! That's as funny as the "Faster is Better" crowd.

Those van drivers are the best :)))

I’m Gunna lose my job. Don’t represent the company so badly and put the public in Danger 😊

Woow, the sheer pace of massive destruction in this video is breath taking Never before have I seen this much money being spaffed up a wall in so short time

A few bent connecting rods

When you see water pouring out of the tailpipe you know you have a problem.

It’s better than watching the muppets movie 😂

Looks like the Iveco driver will be looking for a new job.

Amazing they don't close the road

The irony of the Stickle back van getting stuck in the river 😂

Some people are so thick

14:26 1. How?, 2. Don’t use his driving school.

9:15 Love that certified Jeremy Clarkson speed & power attempt

Drive slow and avoid the wave. Is it so difficult to understand?

Unbelievable how thick people can be 😂but it keeps us amused 😂😂

It’s called a making a bow wave. And if your engine stalls, DO NOT try and restart it. That’s the absolute worst thing you can do.

We all laugh (I suppose you might as well 🤣) but this is why your insurance is going up hundreds of pounds (well, that's what they are telling me) 🤔

Its like they have no self preservation.

If that’s the brain power of a driving instructor then it explains quite a lot 🤦🏻‍♂️

probably one in ten people who drive thru deep water even know where their engines air intake is located.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity!

What astonishes me the most is how so many people, far from stopping and getting out to asses the situation properly, fail to even slow down, or in many cases, even ACCELERATE INTO the water! 😖 How thick can you get?! About half of these could have probably made it through if they'd just taken it at a sensible speed. Seeing all these perfectly good vehicles get junked because so many people seem to lack even a grain of situational awareness is really annoying!

is that a learner driving instructor, amazing

Don't feel sorry for these people. They've been posting these videos for years, they all live in the same neighborhood and they know what will happen

I don't understand the sheer number of foolish people there. Was physics never taught there, or at least common sense? I would open an auto repair shop right next door. It seems like it would really be profitable.

My partner drove through some standing water, nothing like any of these. It was an Audi A1, her pride and joy. Insurance wrote if off without even looking at it. She was 3k down after insurance payout and excess.

Nothing like the sound of a good hydro-lock.

Love it. Water is such fun.

If ever a video needed the theme of 'Das Boot' playing in the background, this is that video.😊

1:57 - I'm pretty sure there'll be a clause in his rental contract to state he MUST NOT do this. Destroying that wagon (by choice) is probably going to be VERY costly for him/them

3:00 What's the problem with that L200? He didn't go into the water quickly, there was no water splashing around and the air intake should have been clear from any water...

Do people think that engines don't have a air filter system and that why they drive fast into the water 😂

Stupendous. Most normal people will never understand why.

Bloke in old off road thing stuck under the bridge 😂😂😂 Paul Whitehouse “ let’s off road “ 😂

3:18 that bitsaremissing sounds really healthy 15:01 this guy should not be aloud to teach anyone to drive

Бедна ви е фантазията, колко бактерии има тук..😊

What happened to the squeaky black L200? Has the transfer case or differential locked up?

Landrover had a glue on snorkel 😂

Why didn’t the local authorities just ‘close the road’?

Amazing, I think they are driving a boat!

This is why our insurance premiums keep going up...

Since when is water a combustible substance?🤔

Incredible how many people think they can drive through high waters, especially in small cars!

Bet “super van hire “ will be well pleased to see their customer wrecking a new truck! FFS. 😮 ps: personally I’d have used an ALTERNATIVE route. 😢

This is like the Wavy Boats YT channel for cars.

Was surprised to see the one failing with a snorkel.

Did Clarkson influence these people? Speed and POWEEER!!

Around my neck of the woods we close off a road that has deep running water over it.

The joys of hydrolock. If you've got a low air intake and/or a modern diesel with loads of electrics don't do it. You'll never create a good bow wave. If you have to get through turn around and drive through backwards slowly and maintaining high revs if possible.

drive a Crafter 4x4 in my company, sometimes in water also so i know where the intake is. 7:12 man, it will cost badly.

Computers don't work very good when wet. 😂 New Auto's are junk

Cold sub assist.

you should add a counter in the screen's upper corner, with estimated amount of cash drowned.

If I see this, I have to believe everybody has the surname Clarkson in the UK Speeeeed and Powwwer. !! Great Video 👍🏻💪🏻

Under the bonnet is some kind of magic 😉

With that last car, 'Viking recovery' scraped the whole bottom of the front of it, as it was winched up onto their revovery vehicle.

How IQ levels have dropped.

Drive faster you get through quicker before water gets into your air intake......... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What scares me the most is the instructer in the L car, he drove into 3 foot plus of water..... what planet are these lads on???? The amount killing their vehicles is insane. Utter stupidity Years ago we had a huge flood all over Dublin, was driving a diuble decker, the water came up to the seats inside and the back step, everyone either went upstairs or stood on the seats and we made it through, the cars I had to navigate about not so good😂

27:20 would you like your wheel trashed as well as your motor sir or just the motor today.

Black truck is having differential problems.

13.50 a merc and a beemer at the same time 😂Ford driver knows how to do it and gets through

Put in lowest gear, rev engine hard to keep up gas pressure in tail pipe, enter the water very slowly so as not to make a bow wave over front of vehicle. Crawl through at 5 mph.

so let me get this straight, driving through deep water in unsuitable vehicles and going too fast can flood the air intake and short electrics etc? who'd have thought that?

All the bent rods and hydrolocked engines

They are going to hsve to introduce advice on how to and when not drive through water into the driving test. Thay will keep a few idiots off the road. I believe that the advice to keep the revs up is taken to mean drive fast. Seriously. I believe they misunderstand that keeping the revs up to keep water out of the exhaust is to go fast. Nope. Higher revs, slow speed, no bow wave. If in doubt don't drive through. If you are confident enough to do it then reverse through but use higher revs (not speed). Contrary to what some drivers think deisels too can be hydro locked. They may not suffer damage so easily but that is simply down to the fact deisels operate under higher internal pressures so are built correspondingly stronger.

On days like this, I beg my wife to let me use her G wagon.

the learner driver lol the blind leading the blind

Those Toyotas lol

Reason why insurance premiums going up. Breeding a load of thickos.

Why not go in reverse??? Would that work better, or would tailpipe get flooded? Would compression keep water out?

Would reversing through it be a better option?

Advice to novice drivers...the air intake is only meant to.....TAKE IN AIR DUH!!

I reckon they all wanted a change of car and were well insured. I can't find any other explanation.

Der Fahrlehrer ist vieleicht auch ein Tauchlehrer!!😆

14:22 rofl ! No way is there a bloke sat in it ! i thought it was abandoned.

30:45 man in Discovery pulls clone out of ford!

Fidots! 🤣
