Flood - tractor driver

[Mottie]

Took Mrs filly on a land rover tuition day and after going through a water trough I asked what the max depth of water is safe, he said roughly 60cms, He laughed at me when I asked how much deeper you could go with a snorkel.

Mind you, I wouldn’t like to do it in a car I ever have to sit in again!

Is driving through water a crime?

It can be, yes.

To avoid pulling dust kicked up by the tyres into the intake, apparently. Took Mrs filly on a land rover tuition day and after going through a water trough I asked what the max depth of water is safe, he said roughly 60cms, He laughed at me when I asked how much deeper you could go with a snorkel.

I suppose you have to be careful that the car doesn't start to float and lose traction.

Inconsiderate driving is a crime - and that was clearly inconsiderate driving, hopefully it will go to court and he will be banned, but then again if he is a farmer then nothing will happen

or just a tw@t driving a tractor.

True that.

Reminds me of a period when car recoverers were calling BMW's aqu vacs. They'd pick one up and take to a main dealer thinking it would be covered and then picking them up again and dropping them off at the owners. New engine needed.
