    I really enjoyed what that little red car did at the end, they came flying down the hill, shut the engine off BEFORE they hit the water, used their momentum to get most the way across the water and once they came to a complete stop and the wave of water stopped, they simply started the car and drove out, not even a little white smoke came out the tail pipe.

      My sister crashed 3 cars in 1 year the insurance company said we won't insure you and didn't give her a check for the totaled vehicle. She didn't have the money to buy another car and she couldn't afford to pay for exorbitant high risk car insurance so she was forced to live without a car. She couldn't get the job she really wanted because she didn't have reliable transportation and was forced to take a lower paying job in a big city with public transit. I feel bad for her 10 years later she is still living paycheck to paycheck in the crappy job, she is still afraid to drive, she can only go where the bus/train goes and when she needs to move we have to step in and help her. We have tried giving her advice but she just gets mad/won't speak to us and we have come to the realization that she needs to want to change although it is hard to see her miserable. The point of all this is yes incidents like this can eliminate the driver.

    For those who don't know how to ford a situation like this:
    a) Assess the depth of the water vs your air intake height, add snorkel if necessary.
    b) Drive slowly into the water in first gear.
    c) Do NOT accelerate past your own bow wave & keep the engine rpm high enough to keep water out of the exhaust pipe.
    d) Exit the water slowly and allow water to drain away, keep the engine running to allow the spark plugs and leads to boil dry.
    At a later date:
    e) Strip the interior of the car and allow everything to dry or humidity and rust will set in. If you're planning on fording again, bin the interior.
    f) Replace all the axle and differential oils, (unless you fitted fording pipes to the axle vents before you got wet).

      Because for some reason this road with deep water is not locked off in any way, and I don't see any special warning signs either. So, no proper warnings, it seems, and they might not be able to judge the depth properly.
      If there are warning signs I just didn't see, well then it's a different story.

      Not necessarily so. But highly likely, I suppose. Know where your intake is. If it's low down, yeah, don't bother. If it's high in the engine bay, a slow entry, bow wave, high revs - and if you can put a baffle in front of the radiator even better.
      I've been in dinky 80s Mazda with four people in it fording fifty meters of flooded road, water combing over onto the windscreen, and it made it.

    i used to haul cars out of our local floods, It never ceases to amaze me that people are surprised their car gets stuck.
    The usual culprit is water through the air filter hydro-locking the engine often bending con-rods, sometimes blowing headgaskets and once even bending the crankshaft as well.
    I will not even take my car through deep puddles as even 75mm of water can damage the brakes and only show up weeks later as a failed brake component.
