Crazy Tesla driver!! | Rufford Ford FLOOD | part 136 

Britain's most entertaining IQ test.

"I've wrote one off already in here". Well done mate, you're a genius.

The water doesn't look that deep , it only comes half way up that duck !!!!😂😂 F

It shows how many people have no clue about the basics of how an engine work

None of them ever seem disappointed. Almost like they drove in because they want some drama in their life. It would be interesting to research the psychology behind this.

Take it slow, guys! It's surprising how many of the larger vehicles don't make it through simply because the drivers are going too fast. They have enough height clearance, but the excessive speed forces the water high enough to reach the intake

When you see 20 broken down vehicles near a body of water, you might not want to cross

As a Florida resident in hurricane country i learned to seal a distributor, spark plug wires and vents for submarine driving. I had a 66 Chevy Belair wagon that could drive through any flooded road. The thing would slice though foot deep water like a swamp buggy at 35 mph throwing rooster tails 20 feet high.

You can call me a miserable old git all you like, but these videos are so much more tranquil and therapeutic without the screaming children in the background...

It’s crazy to me how nobody seems to understand how water fording works, faster does not equal better

Tesla said “Good Morning!” 😂😂

Its amazing how they are interested in whats under the bonnet after and not before they go into the flood.

I don’t know why RU-vid delivered these vídeos to me, here in Brazil… But now, I can’t stop watching them. Please keep recording it. Thank you

The image of a delivery driver wearing a high-visibility tabard whilst his van is broken down in at least a foot of muddy water is a beautiful, succinct summary of Modern Britain.

That duck swimming by was just insult to injury. He was definitely judging the driver.

These videos offer a bizarre spectacle of communal indifference and personal misfortune, encapsulated in moments of both humor and tragedy.

Funny how people are more concerned about their shoes and pants getting wet afterwards, rather than the expensive vehicle getting ruined before charging into a flooded river. 🤣🤣🤣

I would love to be the local mechanic in this area. This ford is like a money-printing machine!

I'd love to know how well the door seals kept out the water. They're designed to keep rain out, not full submersion.

Its nice to see jolly ol' England has geniuses too! 🤣

Imagine writing off a car and not learning to do it again. More money than sense. What a pillock.

If you see a bunch of people standing around filming you go through a water crossing, it probably isn't the best idea to go through it lmao. Really surprised the Miata made it through unscathed

What people seem not to understand is that, their gas engines compress air, but water can not be compressed. If your air intake is low then the engine sucks in water and you will destroy your engine by bending the piston rods.

Lol @ the van quickly trying to get around the corner out of embarrassment.

Watching that smoke change from black to white at 4:10 was joyous! Either your engine is humped or there is a new pope!🤣

Happy to see the guy in the blue landrover finally got his

im in favour of re-testing drivers every 5 years after watching this! lol

Another fine episode of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’

First bloke ‘this is the 2nd car I’ve done, wrote one off here already’ Brains of a fresh cow pat. Thick as mince

9:23 the little mx5 miata goes through that water like a boss.

Its the video i never knew i needed in my life.. thanks yt algoritim.

The duck was totally mastering it.

Bravo to the guys who rescued the fish. That water is really deep now!

8:48 I love how people stand next to tow straps under tension. Have they never heard of snap-back zones?

Duck saying that you are quackers lol

Lesson 1(here in Germany, at least): If you drive through a water passage, check the depth ! Lesson 2: Drive slowly!

The look of surprise on every face as their cars stop is amazing, even more amazing as like the first bloke says "I've already written off a car here!!!" Doesn't anyone ever stop, look at it and turn round rather than go through!!!

RUFFORD:- An intellectual wilderness with a large population of lemmings…

Я ждал, что может сегодня кому-нибудь хватит ума задним ходом проехать эту лужу

Everyone seemed unmindful why there are people with smartphones and cameras hanging around at the spot probably waiting for potential "fail" content.

Loved the Tesla and the Hummer in this episode

Driver: I thought you said it was only a couple of inches deep? Local: Water only comes half way up our ducks.

As long as the electrical is sealed and the car isn't buoyant (so it floats off the roadway), electric cars should go through just fine. Those heavy batteries in ECs can only help in these situations.

11:53 when you know it’s about to get serious 😂 runnnnnn b runnnn 😂 but at the end Duck 🦆 was the winner the best performance 😂

Ford focus @09:45 shows perfect technique, good speed, great bow wave, no water over the bonnet.

It’s amazing how the drivers laugh/smile as they realise what they’ve done. Unbelievable!

Love your vids great entertainment brilliant

Top notch delivery effort there… I doubt the insurance covers driving wilfully into water.

The fact that you got 136 parts out of this before someone even put a sign up let alone do something about this problem is astounding...

Imagine destroying your car and being immediately met with British banter. 10/10

This is aimed at the people who are as thick as mince.. Vehicles, just like humans need to breath. They breath in through the air intake, which is normally situated behind the panel at the front of the car where the bonnet catch sits. And they breath out through the exhaust pipe. If humans breath lots of water in they drown, then you are dead.. If vehicles breath lots of water in they also drown, and your engine dies, and I don't mean just stops. They die because your engine is wrecked.

Not a Rocket scientist that one!!!!

I'm amazed that MX5 made it out and kept going

That Model 3 handled the water like a champ.

The best way to cross this flooded Ford is to drive across in reverse, so you don't flood the engine compartment. Very entertaining video.

These are the low milage cars for sale that someone's grandma only used to go to church with.

This is the second car I've done, The Audi driver says proudly.

And I repeat, I can't believe the MX-5 made it.

I drove quickly through a deep puddle with my rented model y and it tore the bottom plastic off till it was scraping backwards at the back of the vehicle. it also ripped off the tow panel and water was all inside the back storage compartments. nothing mechanically wrong with the car but I had to re fasten all the broken panels and get rid of all the water that was inside storage compartments

I'm surprised the insurance companies haven't banned this road from their policy lol.

Even the mallard had to come down and laugh at the madness.

"Ive written one off in here already" Good to see the British education system is working well

My SUV has a starter that sits on top of the engine in the back. It is a pain to change out but does not get wet. The alternator is mounted high also. I have seen new cars where the alternator and the starter are mounted barely above the axle. The car dies in about a foot of water.

Why anybody chances it is beyond me. “I’ll risk writing off my car and make my insurance void”.

Imagine being the person who writes a car off in a ford that is highly notorious for killing cars, and then driving up to a deep ford in another car and thinking “ah it’ll be okay”.🤣😂

I'm shocked the Miata made it through , and the number of Fords that didn't dissolve.

That Audi though, so near so far lol

Everyones going too fast into it! Lmao

I wonder how the Audi A7 driver got to be in his mid 50s

When you see a bunch of locals pointing a flashlight at you and filming you as you approach a flooded road it might be a good idea to make a U-turn.

Very good Entertainment 😂👍👍👍

Is going reverse better? Does anyone know or the water will get in the pipe anyway?

I love the way drivers give us an evening performance. A lovely night out for all sorts of people, and then a light supper and bed.

Surprised so many got through the flood. I love seeing the falls at the end. You could make one of those "Sleep or Relax" waterfall type videos with those. Thank you, Tom!

White smoke = engine coolant being superheated. I know. Blew an engine once.

Amazing how so many people are risking such expensive vehicles for fun (especially Sprinter and trucks with someone’s cargo inside). I was at this spot 2 years ago and i didnt dare to drive into the water

5:35 Tesla does just fine.

Good to see the fish made it safely back. 🐟

That's just the way it is...most people can be driving for 40 years but will have absolutely no clue about the air intake and how the engine will die if you flood it with water

Ah yes, all conrods need to straighten themselves is a good solid revving, as demonstrated by the clownshoe (s) in the landrover.

all this to avoid an 8-mile detour, its madness, I love my car much so much to even consider going through lower water.

That Tesla driver wont be feeling so cocky if that water seeps into his battery back and fucks it. I wonder if the insurance companies refuse to pay out due to stupidity.

The Hummer said, "I don't know what all the fuss is about". Merica!

Love how the delivery driver just brushed a piece of plastic into the water. What a tosser

I am utterly amazed how many don't know how to negotiate a water hazard and in a defender as well .

The Tesla doesn't pollute. Happy affixation. Jeannine

Love your vids

I love that someone finally drove all the way down the side channel, far, AND BACKWARDS FAST! My hero. Now time for a roof snorkel? That was close lol..

11:54 when you hear a vehicle accelerating toward the water, you know it's time to run!

Ducky is the best; he came to check asking; "qva-qva whats-up there, you stuck in my pond?? - now you know where is you outta go!" 😆 but what happened to Audi with rare right wheel that it got blocked, this might be costly repair??

great to see it nice and full again, not so nice for the drivers but great for viewers

Hello, love these videos. Me and my son sit and watch and play guess which car will get through. Suprising how many people attempt it. Thanks for the videos.

These people definitely have brains made of minced pie unbelievable 😂😂

It never ceases to amaze me that people speed through the water...... 😂😂😂

And this is why insurance premiums are 50% more expensive in rufford area !

I love the way they go for the ignition key. Perhaps the last thing you want to touch in the situation.

8:33 classic semi-electrified car-problem: Electric hand-brake, electrically shifted gearbox, electrified power-steering .... Gotta love Your all-mechanical seventies-car after an absolutely sobering experience like that short distance rescue-towing

It always makes me nervous seeing people standing around the tow cables. When they're pulling cars out. They pack a serious punch if one breaks loose and hits you

Thanks for that little bit at the end showing the top of the river, I always wondered wtf was up there, I just assumed it was a few drains converging, but this is much cooler

That Land Rover guy tho. I THINK he knows what he doin
