Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video the videođ All footage is recorded and edited by me Email: Thomas_sunderland99@yahoo.com My tiktok: vm.tiktok.com/...
Just goes to show how little observation many drivers do now. That they can't even see a police car at the side of the road and drive sensible for a few 100 yards
I think the problem is... They don't at any point exceed the 30 limit. The cops aren't doing them for speeding, they are going after them for DWDCA I'm guessing for splashing everyone who is there only for the splashing. Therefore they are doing nothing for safety, and only doing it to ruin the fun and to get revenue.
It just came to me, this must be one of the most polluted rivers in Britain. Essentially every car going through there gets a free underbody wash for their car.
The cops gunning it around that unseen, wet corner on the opposite side of the road is waaay more dangerous than someone going a little fast through a Ford!
@@leonblittle226 The point is the risk to public on a blind corner to catching an idiot doing a big splash doesnât seam particularly proportional ? Maybe they think it looks impressive.
âPolice at it againâ. By it I guess you mean doing their job. It amazing how it only the cars speeding through the Ford getting pulled over and the oneâs driving normally are left to get on their way. If everyone drove like they should do the police could be used elsewhere.
There are some drivers that obviously deserved pulling over due to exceeding the speed limit, but a lot of the cars that the police pointlessly chased down were clearly under 30mph. They see a big splash and think âooga booga dangerous drivingâ
@David J limit yes target no. You wouldnât go flying down a country lane at 60mph when itâs snowing at night because thatâs the limit would you. Itâs called driving to the conditions of the road
@@wattyler6075 speed humps yes but they will take a while to get out in place. Quick short term fix is police as no doubt the locals have complained about the manner of the drivers on the road
The cops have to know they are just making themselves look like complete and utter idiots doing this... When it takes 15 to 20 mins for a 999 response these days.
They are clearly Traffic. One day, someone is going to get injured the way some of these eejit drivers drive through this ford at speed and on the wrong side of the road. Then, people like you say 'Why didnt the police do something? The wreckless driving is on YT for all to see.'
Not really when you see the standards of driving through the ford lately. The attention the ford has received has encouraged some people to drive like absolute tossers for the crowds
Found this on the RAC site for anyone to read..... Under section three of the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is illegal to splash someone as it amounts to driving âwithout reasonable consideration for other persons.â Those found guilty of deliberately driving through puddles and splashing pedestrians will likely be hit with a ÂŁ100 fixed penalty notice and three penalty points if caught by police. However, should motorists be deemed to be driving in a manner that âamounts to a clear act of incompetence, selfishness, impatience, and aggressivenessâ then the maximum punishment of a ÂŁ5,000 fine could be levelled. If drivers fail to pay the ÂŁ100 fixed penalty or refuse the penalty notice they could also face the maximum ÂŁ5,000 fine if the case is taken to court.
@@duckydashcam751 Doubt it, it's a 30MPH zone as there's kids nearby, they are going through at 40+ and splashing people. I think it'll be driving without due care and attention, 6 points and up to a ÂŁ5,000 fine.

The amount of people complaining about Police activity here really sums up the mentality of a large proportion of our population. They are enforcing the law and trying to maintain safety. Is that really so hard to understand?
It seems very over the top to me when they won't even turn up to look at a van that has been cut open in Tesco's at midday and had 3k of tools nicked. I think there are better ways to spend time than to wait for someone to go through a ford at 30mph

@@DasArab I'd agree that the drivers deserve it if they can't spot a police car sitting right there. But still, I'd rather they spent more time trying to catch thieves then pricks in 70 plate cars đ
Anyone else think having one, sometimes two police cars sat beside a river all day just to tell people off for presumably going too fast through a big puddle is an abhorrent waste of police time? They can certainly pay a plod to sit there and do this all day but when someone's getting mugged or having their home invaded then there's suddenly ''not enough officers available'' and they'll send one round eighteen hours later. Not good enough
How do you know they were parked there all day? I'm sure had they anything more urgent to deal with, like a mugging or a murder, they would have been elsewhere. The police generally work from intelligence received, the fact these clips are plastered all over YT means its only a matter of time before it came to their attention. Muggers don't tend to post video's on YT with the location of their impending crimes, if only they did it would make the cops job much easier. Motorists eh?
Given the laws in the UK, there is no reason you couldn't just have a cop sit down every day watching these videos, and just send notices/fines to those that are obviously reckless. Any of the cops local to this area would be smart to do this. Wouldn't be a bad work performance bullet either in their yearly performance review. Unfortunately, we all know they're doing this because it's an easy way to get through a patrol shift.
Thanks for putting the vid together Tom..............see summer is coming, just a observation point I see the coppers are driving skoda, same here in nz...........must be a Czech thing. Hope it rains more ! and do not leave ya window down when a monkey drives fast coming towards you, thank you Sir
Recently a friend of mine had a ÂŁ650 parcel stolen internally by the post office. Tracking shows it just stuck in one location . Police refused to investigate and stated victimless crime . It really is high time they did some real work instead snaring drivers all the time . That way they may earn some respect back .
I agree with both sides of the arguement here. The police are supposedly under resourced, yet they can spare a car and one or two officers to sit by a patch of water for several hours. Equally, it's only a matter of time before something bad happens here, we've already seen near misses. So many children enjoy watching this, but there is definitely a significant risk to safety. Also you can thank the idiots who brick their motors going through this at break neck speeds, for the ever increasing insurance premiums, each time they have to make a claim due to their own stupidity.
How is there a second side to this argument? Police are there because residents have complained about dangerous driving. You can even see one woman ranting in one of the videos on this channel, with a caption saying she is "talking turkey (and points)." There is video evidence of aforementioned dangerous driving. And it isn't just "a few idiots" either, it's a good portion of drivers coming through here. Just because there is no malicious intent does not mean police should not get involved. The danger is very real, and I for one am glad police recognise this.
I guess the Police are there because in the end you have some vehicles going very quickly into varying depth water which is likely to mean they could lose control of their vehicle. And with other vehicles coming from the other direction and a lot of people standing close by....
I think the anti police attitude is a little bit unfounded here.. If and when an incident occurs here where people are hurt will you be relying on the emergency services to clear up the mess whilst you record it ?? and who will the media be pointing the finger at for not taking any preventative action. It's time for for all involved here to think long and hard about the the consequences of their actions and their ultimate legal involvement for inciting illegal actions of others. Take care you guys and make sure you keep things safe for your sake and others involved.
Ahh see Jerry, you're asking people to take responsibility for their actions here. You may as well ask a goldfish to climb a tree. They've no regard for anyone else. Stringer, before you point it out, I already know I'm a tosser. Don't exert yourself in calling me anything creative.

In this circumstance it's a well known ford and some kids are eager to get splashed hence the cheering etc. Maybe the police should have a word with the pedestrians too?...
The cyclist at 2.07 would have a very strong grounds for a case of bodily assault against the white BMW driver... No joke... he did not ask to be showered head to foot in dirty river water just so the BMW could have fun as he sped through the ford. It is illegal to knowingly splashing pedestrians or cyclists and he can be prosecuted under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act for careless, aggressive or inconsiderate behaviour to other road users including cyclists. To boot, if assault is proven in law, the driver would receive a criminal record for his behaviour risking a huge number of factors in his everyday life...
BMW driver has total plausible deniability. He was most likely not exceeding 30 (which even if he was, cannot be proved via video) and it was round a corner in which he could not see the cyclist. Arguably applying emergency brakes to slow down may have been more dangerous as ABS would have struggled to control the car on a wet, slippery slope. Not to mention perspective on this video would make the BMW appear closer to the cyclist, when in reality he probably only got a mist of water over his back.
@ David J . I'm the life and soul of the party but next time I'm passing your house, I'll get a bucket of dirty polluted river water ready and throw it over you. Lets see how much you find that amusing. The rest of your comments I will ignore. We all know exactly the type of person you are..
@@tommolewis3105 I think you just countered your own argument- rounding a corner where he could not see the cyclist and potentially not being able to control his vehicle under braking all means he was going too fast and driving, at best, without due care and attention but more likely recklessly or even dangerously.
@@graemetaylor4149 Absolutely not. If you think that every corner someone drives around they should assume there is a cyclist we would never get anywhere. The bmw wasnât even close to hitting the cyclist and barely even âmisted himâ. The video shows his plate, you can submit that to the police and see how far it gets you. They would not consider that dangerous driving or driving without due care as the cyclist wasnât even phased by his actions and he was obeying the speed limit.
Obviously the police will be pulling drivers for driving without due care and attention. Problem is a lot of drivers will be pandering to those filming but won't be happy if they end up with 9 points and a ÂŁ2500 for doing so.
As itâs a Residential Area, it will be a 30mph Limit, possibly even 20mph. The speed those Police Pursuit Drivers are driving at is WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT without good reason. If it is a 20mph Limit, then doing 40+mph without good reason means Automatic Disqualification and forced to Resit your Driving Test after the period of disqualification has expired. Maybe someone should forward these videos to the CPS. After all, this Ford is used by cyclists and horse riders. The Police are NOT above the Law despite what they think!
Not great all the paths blocked abd on a bend and the police offending the same. There should be no kids near it so stay well back, obviously ones driving really bad do them but many I've seen they were not bad at all and them chasing after them.
Cause itâs illegal to splash pedestrians with puddles you can be prosecuted under section 3 of the road traffic act for careless, aggressive or inconsiderate behaviour

The bmw wasnât even close to hitting the cyclist and barely even âmisted himâ. The video shows his plate, you can submit that to the police and see how far it gets you. They would not consider that dangerous driving or driving without due care as the cyclist wasnât even phased by his actions and he was obeying the speed limit.
Does anyone know the reason police are stopping people for? The majority of them don't look like they're breaking the speed limit.
Theyâre causing menacing on the roads and they donât look favorably upon that in England
@@chocolatewheelchair it's called having bit of fun. They need to go and do some proper police work not this rubbish over a little splash of water.
@@olivernewton58 you wonât say that when a child dies from being run over itâs so sketchy over there mate
because someone is going to get killed with some of the speed drivers are going through there.
Clearly some of the cars going through could be reckless driving. But I don't know what the offence would be for the Land Rover at 0:53
I would bring my landy down but the coppers will pull me over because itâs an off-roader đ
So you'd drive an untaxed. unmot'd and uninsured vehicle on the road. Says it all really!
Thanks!
Keep up the Great Videos Tom! đđ
Just noticed thanks very much for the ÂŁ10 đđ

Is there a speed limit on that road?. Coz if there isn't,surely they are legally allowed to plough into the water @ 60mph????.
The first red one Iâve seen tractors go through faster đ€·đœââïž
1:33 fancy having the window open! ...lol look at the car. not a thinking man's car is it.
Why are the coppers giving pursuit? Can hardly be illegal in pommy land to drive through puddles? surely?
Serious question here. Why can't they fix the road and make it more suitable for low ground clearance cars?
Thereâs nothing to fix
We're taking about commissioning a road bridge just to compensate for ignorant drivers
Did that Maserati just died in what basically is a puddle like water? WTF
No crime too small for these pil locks đ
Easy money đ°
Nice .
I'm not sure why the policeman doesn't simply stand by the side of his car and hold up his or her hand , save chasing after the motorist.
oh, come on....is that what the police are doing nowadays?!
Obviously the police will be pulling drivers for driving without due care and attention. Problem is a lot of drivers will be pandering to those filming but won't be happy if they end up with 9 points and a ÂŁ2500 for doing so.
As itâs a Residential Area, it will be a 30mph Limit, possibly even 20mph. The speed those Police Pursuit Drivers are driving at is WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT without good reason. If it is a 20mph Limit, then doing 40+mph without good reason means Automatic Disqualification and forced to Resit your Driving Test after the period of disqualification has expired.
Maybe someone should forward these videos to the CPS. After all, this Ford is used by cyclists and horse riders. The Police are NOT above the Law despite what they think!
Why dont they raise the road and let the Ford pass underneath it?
Because itâs historical and nobody would like it to change anyway
Disappointed nobody said "Hot Fuzz Two"
Rufford is a zero crime area.
is it illegal to cross puddle?
Urgh that Bentley is disgusting đ€ź
That convertible Evoque is also terrible. đŁ
I don't understand, why are the police pulling people over for making local kids and adults smile?
very simple.. its a 30 zone
Their not happy until you are not happy.
The Police must be very bored
What law are the police implementing here?
Not great all the paths blocked abd on a bend and the police offending the same.
There should be no kids near it so stay well back, obviously ones driving really bad do them but many I've seen they were not bad at all and them chasing after them.
Guys I've got a question: Why do police go after them? I don't think drivers are speeding...
Cause itâs illegal to splash pedestrians with puddles you can be prosecuted under section 3 of the road traffic act for careless, aggressive or inconsiderate behaviour
@@dukeofdevon5608 Thanks. I get it, but i still think it's not supposed to be like that. There's noone on the bridge, also if someone gets there it's cause he or she wants to be wet :)
@@reallolek but unfortunately our police see the motorist as an easy target

Not the point

They are too busy looking for their 5 seconds of fame to notice the police, The cameras are causing it,
Been no different for decades, not caused by me
Two traffic cars sat waiting to do what, Generate revenue. areas where the focus needs the attention, you are lucky to see one a week.
Are the cop cars modified in any way to make them flood proofed?
Probably
Probably not. Maybe some "off road" kit, but the rest is stock Ć koda. I would expect some electronics issues soon.
@@dave161141 in the us police cars are modified theyâre not stock normal chargers ect
Sorry why is it traffic violation for trying to go faster so you arenât bogged down or why do the police even care, seems a bit ridiculous
