Title: How not to drive on a flooded road
Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on June 30, 2007, 12:33:14: 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:

Post by: crazymac on June 30, 2007, 21:53:33: 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:
