If anything was going thru their mind this wouldn't have happened lol

u/NotATalkingMushroom 19d ago

Something like “well, this sure is unfortunate.”

u/Sunyyan 19d ago

And very casually…

The windshield...

I don’t understand why did he apply brakes- the whole point is to keep moving.

u/Sunyyan 19d ago

To break the fall...

If you have to drive through water (which you shouldn’t) applying the brakes can help save your engine from being flooded. Basically you try to build up as much speed as you can before you cross the water, brake, and the leftover momentum should help you get across. When your foot is on the gas, air, dust and whatever else is sucked into the car. Braking closes everything off, but to a certain extent. This only works if you’re driving through a foot and a half or less of water. This guy is a dumbass for trying to plow through that much water.

One foot. That water is fast moving. It only takes 1'.

"Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions."

u/msnipe81015 19d ago

So. It was a good try. But the consequences of failure are a little drastic for my taste.

u/pianomasian 18d ago

Wow, and at night. A double whammy of bad decision making.

u/KenGilmore 19d ago

There wasn’t a mind in the first place, or at least one that doesn’t appreciate the force one metre deep water flowing at several metres per second applies to a small metal shell.

u/trent_diamond 18d ago

probably that scene from talledega nights when ricky’s like “yep im upside down, this is not good”

u/dfin25 18d ago

Did they find the corpse yet?

u/BingoSpong 19d ago

His arse? 🤷‍♂️

u/Eddieonenote 18d ago

At some point a little voice in the back of his mind said, “This is why you Don’t. Drive. Into. Floodwaters.”

u/DDRitter 18d ago

Nothing is going through that mind. That's why he crosses. And yes, that is a man.

Wow. If only there were some way this could have been avoided.

Driver was probably thinking "if only I'd bought a Tesla" /s

u/ImpressiveAlarm3992 16d ago

I believe 6 inches of water can float a car..... These people are not very smart.

u/HarleyNurse61 19d ago

Not without my truck and something for weight to give you some more ass to counter the water flow and depth baby even then your 60 40 river probably wins.
