My apologies if you have already seen this, but I blagged it from the DOC forum.
I left me astounded. The method of driving displayed was not taught on any of the courses I went on! :shock:

Probably to try and get away as quickly as possible, as they were embarrassed!

A few years ago we had some floods in Cardigan. I was tasked there as part of Fishguard Coastguard in our Vauxhall Brave 4x4. I was driving through this piece with a lovely bow wave and the water coming level with the door windows. After I got through one of the local plod decided he could get the diesel police corsa through :shock:  There was no immediate need for him to do it, and he had seen me go through so knew how deep it was but he would not take a telling.

so after recovering him (we made him get out and attach the tow line, we weren't getting wet!!) he [!Expletive Deleted!] off very sheepishly on shankses pony :lol:  :lol:

Thing is when I worked at Ford we used to do that to development cars on purpose to see what would happen, so it's their own fault for driving a renault.
