Why is something not done to raise the level of the causeway so it does not flood as vehicle safety must be the no 1 priority driving vehicles through salt water is dangerous & damaging .Places like Rufford ford are perfectly acceptable & safe as this is non tidal FRESH WATER which is less harmful & it is only a few yards across so if anything happens they can be pulled out easily.
There’s no need to raise the level of the causeway, because there are clearly visible warning signs at both ends of the causeway as well as on the island.
@@westfour3116 If that is the case BARRIERS should be put in place & CLOSED when water covers any part of the causeway & it be made an offence to cross when the barriers are down as it is on railway level crossings The priority must be to keep the idiots out of the water as it is too dangerous.
@@ANDREWLEONARDSMITHthis causeway at Holy Island is well known enough that the times for crossings are published in most northern newspapers and are easily checked online too, and similarly the actual road has MULTIPLE warning signs about the tides and the cutoff for crossings posted, including on the island itself. If after all of this you still opt to cross then good luck, off you go but good luck getting the insurance company to pay for your wrecked car.
Why would you go to the expense of barriers? They could hand out Darwin Awards, including to the maker of this video. Barriers would be unfair on drivers of some vehicles like trucks and 4X4s with snorkels.
There’s a running joke around here: never buy a used car from someone from Holy Island as it’s probably been exposed to so much salt water!
It's invariably visitors that get it wrong, not locals
How do you miscalculate tides, you don't have a tide table or can't google it?
Not to mention the obvious warning signs at the ends of the causeway with the times on.
The blur out ruined the whole video
Yes, I agree. Their astonishing faces worth seeing
I came for this comment, like why the blur? Anything seen from public roadway is permitted to film..
@@JLproductions23 They were probably making 'wanker' gestures...
You can hear the tin-worms munching away already
Was over there a few weeks ago. Tide was coming in, stayed and went for a pint😀🍺
Looks like it went well!
Nope
Not clever. People have lost their lives doing just that.
When its a lot deeper yes. This guy was no where near getting into trouble. Did it easy in the end
He miscalculated the tide timings

@@aviationspotters4221Nobody has ever died crossing this particular causeway. You're way over axaggerating.
@@footballfanar9717 if the rnli didn’t respond he would not be alove
Wow... did they all clap.... love the music
Pushed your luck. Nice video, read the tide times though next time. Xx
I’d say your lucky to be alive
If the motor packed in then what
Chancer 😂
There’s always one!!
You did totally fine mate! Nice slow speed would have kept a nice bow wave going. That's how you ford a crossing.
That’s terrible, you can’t do that have u seen the dangers
It's not a ford. It's a tidal causeway. In a ford, the water level doesn't rise a foot in 15 minutes.
Cycled over last year. Had my lunch in the rescue shelter!
I don't know, it could have gone a hell of alot worse!
Nearly did.
