The authorities in that area should put a barrier across the road or as i said put in a temporary bridge, why don't the people whom are onlooking or live there start a petition to get it sorted out ? does not make sense to me.

You probably wouldn't see that until you had entered the water and by then it's too late.Needs large environment agency signs 100 yds back warning of the depth.Or better still close the road when the water rises above normal.

A bit like puddles, you dont know how deep or what is below the surface such as a pot hole, yet a lot of drivers seem happy to drive through them. macafee2 |

LOL Yes Stupid isn't going away any time soon, I've watched quite a few of those YT vids & I wonder if any of those drivers actually knew whereabouts or the height of their air intake, You can actually see the exact moment some of those cars engines hydrolock

Forget the insurance.
TPF&T? No Third Party or property to consider. Comprehensive? P'holder wilful own damage (considered a crime). Would also attract bad reference at next renewal by another company because renewal with existing insurers would be er, prohibitive, even if offered. And - reckless driving would invalidate the policy anyway. No apparent claim. Such a 'driver' would find it difficult to get a Covid jab.

That assumes the driver understands what he/she is doing. If they had any sense at all they would know their car is not a boat. The frightening thing is--they are amongst us.-- |

So Jon, what are you suggesting? A brain impairment that prevents him reading signs or depth markers? If so, there are clauses requiring the need for disclosure in every policy! They've got it very tightly sewn up.

An interesting point re insurance.
Ignoring the self inflicted nature for a moment, would it be considered an accidental damage claim for insurance, or a break down for AA / RAC? I mean, if their cambelt snapped due to their negligence, they wouldn't claim on their insurance, they'd call the breakdown truck. Or would they?
