How not to drive through floodwater.

l've never understand people hammering their expensive vehicles through flood water.

Are they stupid (is it possible to genuinely be that stupid) or do they just not care.

As in, company car so who gives a stuff, on lease so l'll just throw it back at the dealer if it stops working, l genuinely think the vehicle will make it through a metre deep flood because l have absolutely no idea what's going on under the bonnet?

I think it is a combination of 3 things

1) They are that stupid.

2) It isn't their car so breaking it doesn't matter because

3) Their insurance picks up the bill. (Which means that we get to pay for their stupidity!)


Like I said at the start, it is about time that insurers stopped paying for engine damage caused by driving through flood water.
If you park at the bottom of a hill and wake up to find raw sewage lapping around the door handles they should pay out, but it will be obvious that the engine hasn't been run underwater.
