Starsphinx Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The problem local to me is idiots who think 4x4s are somehow resistant to cross flow. A causeway floods - depth wise it should not be a problem even for little hatchbacks, but the water flows from one side of the road to the other. Hard. Hatchback drivers tend to look at the water and decide not to chance it - 4x4 drivers develop pretentions of "survival out in the rugged wilds" with "this is what we have 4x4 for" and do risk it. Then have to be recovered when the water promptly pushes them off the side. I love my off roaders but they do have to be used properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I wonder how many of the drivers that braved the seafront flooding understand the corrosive properties of salt water? As an aside, this is an image passed QC and tagged on the 12th ready for sale on 13 Feb but still waiting for the database to update 😞 Edited February 17, 2020 by Avpics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My images may not have won, but I would welcome the chance to take part @Alamy Edited February 17, 2020 by Avpics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boats are designed to sit in the salty stuff - cars and trailers not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
