    If the police have closed the road, why are they encouraging motorists to break the law?

    • @jamie11greeN
      @jamie11greeN Před měsícem +5

      Because there won't actually be a TRO in place, We don't see what's on the highways signage, could just read "CAUTION FLOOD WATER". And there's nothing stopping any motorist driving down a temporary road closure, police cannot stop you unless your likely to harm yourself or others. (Insurance small print will restrict you from making a claim for any damages though)
      They will have had conversations with regular passenger car drivers recommending they turn around but taller vehicles told "proceed at your own risk" you know doing community policing like the old days..
      Many rural roads where left closed for 7+ days local to me recently due to flooding, after 12 hours I was more than comfortable driving both my Landrover and Work van down all but 2 of the "closed" roads. Highways left the road closure signs up for days after most roads had been completely clear for multiple days.
      If we had listened to the highways signage our entire village would have been blocked off for 4 days even though 2 of the 3 roads out of the village were totally clear after the initial "flash" flooding from the field run off had drained away.

    The most damaging myth of all time is you need to keep the rev's up and keep some speed up. This dates back to the days when spark plug leads were not well protected and old fashioned points based ignition that did produce a weaker spark at lower rev's (as the points opened slower, slower magnetic field collapse in coil etc), the idea being higher rev's meant a stronger spark that could punch through the damp and some spark get to the plug.
    Cars for decades now have electronic ignition that triggers the coil the same at any engine speed so keeping up revs is totally pointless, you can now go as slow as you can and its fine, the slower the less bow wave, the less likely to get water in your engine.

      @@robc8593 Sorry, normal engine speed is not enough. The exhaust leaving each cylinder continues moving after the valve closes. This creates a vacuum behind the gas, pulling some gas back towards the valve. The exhaust therefore pulses, which can be heard and felt at the tailpipe. Normal tickover, will draw some water in each time the exhaust pulses, but does not expel it all as the gas next pushes out. On many vehicles it will gently fill the exhaust with water, and can draw it back all the way to the cylinder, including pulling it up. Whilst this seems to go against expectations, and apparently defy physics, it does happen, and has been seen to do so, including in experimental testing.
      If, however, anyone wishes to disprove this, by all means park in a pond at tickover, film it, and let us all know how it goes. Good luck. Much easier to stay out of water, unless in a boat.

    Whenever I see public servants behaving like this, (check out #148 for a fine example) I am reminded of the old Bing Crosby number - We're busy doing nothing, working the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do. We're busy going nowhere - isn't it just a crime. We'd like to be unhappy but - we never do have the time. A line from the next verse goes- I have to watch the river to see that it doesn't stop - somewhat prophetic in these circumstances!
