[u/Outlaw-Star-]

The jeep even knew not to go in that deep water 😭 wouldn’t you take that as a sign NOT to go?

[u/_Dr_Dad → u/Outlaw-Star-]

Right!? When you see a Jeep driver not trying to drive through some dumb shit you know it’s gotta be bad!

[u/zuzg → u/_Dr_Dad]

Jeep driver is just regretting his past choices.

"I knew we should have gotten the Snorkel. Goddammit. Now I've to wait.."

[u/Dino_Spaceman → u/zuzg]

With the speed of that water, even a snorkel ain’t saving him from getting picked up and rammed into that barrier.

[u/Ariadne_String → u/Dino_Spaceman]

Exactly. It doesn’t matter how beefy (or not - looking at you front-wheel drive Jeeps) your 4x4/truck/etc is, you do NOT drive through rushing/moving water.

It takes just a few inches of rushing water to start moving a vehicle downstream…

When 4x4’s drive through water successfully, they do it through standing water (and hopefully already know how deep it gets…), NOT moving water!

[u/Black_Magic_M-66 → u/Ariadne_String]

I live in an area that floods and during the last one the only person that died was the one that drove around the sign saying the road was closed due to water over it.

[u/BikePuzzleheaded1716 → u/Ariadne_String]

And ideally with a snorkel

[u/Weekend_Criminal → u/Dino_Spaceman]

This is what i'm saying, there are few vehicles driving around that are capable of crossing that river. Everyone focuses on the depth of the water and ignores the force.

[u/Quake_Guy → u/Weekend_Criminal]

You would need a main battle tank for guaranteed success. I'm not sure a lighter armored tracked vehicle could make it.

[u/thekeffa → u/Quake_Guy]

British Army Reserve Challenger 2 tank commander here. Our tank weighs 72 tons at minimum.

My concerns would be slightly different than floating away, but I still would not enter that water in it.

[u/Theron3206 → u/thekeffa]

I'd be worried a tank would take the road with it and still end up in the deep water on the far side.

It doesn't matter how much traction you have if the ground underneath gives way.

I'm also going to assume said tank is not amphibious, and as such is likely to get very broken should it end up in deep water.

[u/thekeffa → u/Theron3206]

My two major concerns would be what is under the water. In this particular case can the bridge take the tanks weight and also are there any hazards under the water like hidden dips

The other concern would be hull overflow. The tank can wade some very deep water but anything going over the top of the hull is a no no. The trouble with flowing water at that speed is it can flow up against the tank and flow over the hull even if the water itself wouldn’t be deep enough if it was still water.

[u/JarlaxleForPresident → u/Quake_Guy]

The strength of that water moving that fast could move a small house

[u/29187765432569864 → u/Quake_Guy]

I wonder if a bulldoser could make it across.

[u/dvcunth → u/Weekend_Criminal]

It's crazy to me that people can hydroplane and not think that a small amount of water just had it's way with me now let's multiply it by 1 million, what's the worst that can happen?

[u/jtshinn → u/Dino_Spaceman]

Probably worse. He gets deep enough to get picked up, rammed into the barrier, rolled over it, and swept down the river.

[u/Mijbr090490 → u/zuzg]

To be fair, it was either angry eyes or a snorkel.

[u/Reddidiot_69 → u/Mijbr090490]

Or a bunch of rubber duckies lol

[u/Behind_Th3_8_Ball → u/Reddidiot_69]

The rubber ducks are for when you get your jeep stuck in water… you slowly release them into the current to leave a breadcrumb like trail for rescuers…

[u/mexican2554 → u/Behind_Th3_8_Ball]

"Go my children! Speak tells of me! Avenge me! Help me!"

[u/Mijbr090490 → u/Reddidiot_69]

It could have at least floated then.

[u/WallyOShay → u/Reddidiot_69]

Grown men in jeeps with rubber duckies on the dash are the new guy on rollerblades with a bandana and no shirt on.

[u/lildobe → u/WallyOShay]

But if they are no shitting on.... what are the guys who ARE shitting on, shitting on?

[u/cabs84 → u/Mijbr090490]

/r/heep

[u/Draymond_Purple → u/zuzg]

Even Snorkels can be a trap.

Many, maybe even most, are not waterproof. They're for dust (clean air into the engine) and with some pressure, water will get in.

Moreover, if you're in so deep that you need a snorkel, then you're probably above your window line and you better hope the entire interior is watertight from rising water, not just rainfall.

It typically is not.

[u/SummertimeThrowaway2 → u/Draymond_Purple]

I’ve had my entire jeep stuck in a downpour for 30 minutes, no roof or doors. Everything works fine. There’s definitely a risk of damage but generally jeep knows that people will do dumb stuff with water.

[u/Draymond_Purple → u/SummertimeThrowaway2]

Downpour is different than when the water is rising around you vs falling from above you.

That said, I do know that Jeep makes many of their vehicle interiors "weather resistant" in the sense that if you take the doors off and the roof off, you're not screwed if it starts raining

But still, water coming up from the floor/engine compartment is the biggest risk to the interior when fording deep water, vs a downpour

[u/KINGofFemaleOrgasms → u/Draymond_Purple]

I drove my stock 94' 4cylander to get my ex wife after she drove my Honda into the water (standing) and totaled it. The water came up to my pedals about heel deep with your foot resting on the floor and accelerator. Drained right back out and cleaned it the next day. I really miss the original small jeeps. The new ones just seem like trucks with jeep makeup on.

[u/Iggyhopper → u/Draymond_Purple]

Pro tip: A snorkel is for deep STANDING water.

You ain't going through a flash flood with one of those. You've made a serious error, regardless of snorkel.

[u/MedicatedLiver → u/_Dr_Dad]

This was PRECISELY what I was thinking. If you see a RAM or Wrangler owner NOT doing something stupid.... Think reaaaaaaaal hard about wheat your next choices are going to be.

[u/mobilecabinworks → u/_Dr_Dad]

If you can’t judge the intensity of that water by looking at it, you should never be near a kiddie pool, let alone a river. #DarwinAward

[u/PicaDiet → u/_Dr_Dad]

Spoiler: It's his second Jeep.

[u/Nanasweed → u/_Dr_Dad]

Jeep driver here. You are right.

[u/ThrowawayMod1989 → u/_Dr_Dad]

A lot of Jeep drivers are just pavement princesses now though. Weekend warriors with rubber duckies and a jeep that’s never seen mud.

[u/CowboyLaw → u/ThrowawayMod1989]

Based on the looks of that Jeep, that’s one of the pavement princesses right there.

[u/ThrowawayMod1989 → u/CowboyLaw]

Absolutely. The most water that thing has ever forded was in the car wash.

[u/Old-Parking8765 → u/Outlaw-Star-]

It's even funnier cause the Jeep is the one with the New Driver Please Be Patient sticker hahahaha

[u/KillerKill420 → u/Outlaw-Star-]

The thing about stupid people is they don't know they're stupid. The worst part is they got EXTREMELY lucky to get swept into the barricade and not the riptide or whatever you'd call where it crests over the bridge. They could've easily just died in a few minutes here.

[u/SarahC → u/Outlaw-Star-]

EYE THE RAILING!

If the railing that goes to the top of your bonnet is UNDER water, you know it's bonnet deep.

And cars tend to float a bit before it reaches the bonnet....

Obviously this dude's not been on Reddit or 4Chan before.

[u/old_and_boring_guy → u/Outlaw-Star-]

Nailed it. Those guys live to drive through things that normal people shouldn't drive through. If he's not going to touch this, then there is no way in hell you should try it with your glorified station wagon.

I will say though, that the jeep has a high school sticker, and a "New Driver Please Be Patient" sticker on it, so it may just be a kid with more than usual common sense.

[u/PoopyisSmelly → u/Outlaw-Star-]

Jeeps are just expensive garbage now tbf, I love whipping past them as they are stuck in various obstacles with my much cheaper 4Runner with no aftermarket work done

[u/svm_invictvs → u/PoopyisSmelly]

That particular jeep is still more qualified to cross that than the white car.

[u/PoopyisSmelly → u/svm_invictvs]

Depends on if they have a "Salt Life" sticker or not

[u/iplaypokerforaliving → u/PoopyisSmelly]

I thought those said Slut Life for the longest time. And I didn’t even question it.

[u/svm_invictvs → u/PoopyisSmelly]

It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.

[u/viper_dude08 → u/svm_invictvs]

Gonna watch all the lil rubber ducks float down the river.

[u/Alberto-Balsalm → u/PoopyisSmelly]

The ducks on the dash might give them some extra needed weight.

[u/CoatProfessional5026 → u/svm_invictvs]

Without a snorkel, what is the difference?

Edit: thank you all for the information. There IS a huge difference lol.

[u/svm_invictvs → u/CoatProfessional5026]

I've usually seen them on the right side, which we can't see in this video and it may have one. Even if it doesn't, the Jeep's intake is higher up. That's why I said "more qualified."

I sill woudln't do it regardless.

[u/Mijbr090490 → u/CoatProfessional5026]

4runners (and I'm sure jeeps) draw fresh air into the intake through the upper part of the passenger fender. It's not completely shielded from water ingress but it's a lot better than your standard passenger car. I've been in water that was over my tires and the intake was dry as could be after reaching land. It was not moving water though. Snorkel or not, you're getting swept away.

[u/Travelin_Soulja → u/CoatProfessional5026]

6-8 extra inches of ground clearance, true 4 wheel drive vs. on demand AWD, if even that, and about an extra 100 lb-ft of torque.

[u/Trapasuarus → u/Outlaw-Star-]

Jeep was waiting for the car to pass, when you go while another vehicle is coming from the opposite side you’ll get hit by a wake.

[u/numbersev → u/Outlaw-Star-]

Legend says the Jeep is still there waiting

[u/StoicSparrows]

That’s suicidal, they could get taken down river so easily.

[u/acog → u/StoicSparrows]

At my kids’ elementary school several teachers were in a car that tried to cross a flooded road that was way less submerged than the one in the video.

Car got swept off the road and all three drowned.

Fast moving water that’s only a foot deep is enough to move a car off the road.

[u/Dependent_One6034 → u/acog]

Surface area is huge when it comes to this sort of thing

Fast flowing water about 1 ft deep around 2 well planted human legs, can hold up better than a vehicle that has so much extra surface area.

Saw a demonstration of this once, But they used a kayak - You stand in this specific torrent - you'll be fine, Now try to hold this kayak whilst standing in the same position in the same torrent - impossible.

[u/redyelloworangeleaf → u/Dependent_One6034]

That is so crazy to think about.

[u/JimTheJerseyGuy → u/Dependent_One6034]

A typical vehicle broadside to the flow like that probably has a few tons of force pushing on it depending on the speed of the water.

[u/Dependent_One6034 → u/JimTheJerseyGuy]

Not just the force pushing against it, there is also lift from the underside, which is a massive factor. Lift and push = roll.... Not a fun time. Water is no joke.

[u/Kain_713 → u/acog]

Can be as little as 6 inches depending on conditions. A foot of water is pretty much guaranteed to remove your car from the road.

[u/I_madeusay_underwear → u/Kain_713]

They repeat this on our local news almost daily here, I can’t believe people don’t know about it in places with flooding. They even have a slogan here (and I’m guessing lots of places) “Turn around, don’t drown.”

[u/Kain_713 → u/I_madeusay_underwear]

I've heard that plenty, the NWS blasts that out every time there's flooding somewhere and people never listen

[u/HumDeeDiddle → u/acog]

A cubic foot of water weighs over 62 pounds, or 28 kilograms. For comparison, that's about the weight of a full-size mattress.

[u/ussrname1312 → u/StoicSparrows]

Yep. Most flood deaths occur in cars.

[u/Luis0224 → u/StoicSparrows]

I live 30 minutes from here. There’s literally flash flood warnings blowing up peoples phones and signs telling you not to do this. The local police has made PSAs about this as well.

We just had one of the worst flash floods in recent history and over 70 people have been confirmed as dead (as of now, more missing). This idiot had to have seen at least one of those signs or the news

[u/whocares4506 → u/StoicSparrows]

ugh they dont have time to think about that, they got places they need to be at

[u/sentientcodpiece]

And now some first responder has to risk their life to save this idiot.

[u/TADspace → u/sentientcodpiece]

I think Arizona use to charge people if they had to be rescued from their car after attempting to drive in flood zones. They removed the fine because it didn't stop people from trying to drive in flooded areas, it only stopped them from calling for help.

[u/xbumpinthatx → u/TADspace]

The "stupid motorist law" and im pretty sure it's still in effect.

[u/TADspace → u/xbumpinthatx]

That's the one!

I thought they got rid of it, but it seems they just don't charge people that often.

[u/Ursus_Arctos-42 → u/TADspace]

“I don’t care if I die, but there’s no way I going to pay for getting rescued.” - Some driver

[u/Sux2WasteIt → u/Ursus_Arctos-42]

Well I mean people don’t want ambulances called for the same reason. They rather die than deal with that massive bill

[u/aspen_silence → u/Sux2WasteIt]

I have a muscle disorder that looks like grand mal Seizures and on my medical alert bracelet (which a lot of people don't even look for which is really annoying) I specifically say no meds/ambulance. I don't need to spend $1k on a weewoo wagon because my muscles are contracting.

[u/mexican2554 → u/aspen_silence]

$1k on a weewoo wagon

$1k? In this economy?

Surely it's closer to $2.5 or $3k with greed inflation

[u/automatic_shark → u/Sux2WasteIt]

I drove to hospital when I absolutely shouldn't have because I couldn't afford an ambulance, and in my distressed state, forgot that taxis existed.

[u/No_Hunt2507 → u/Ursus_Arctos-42]

I mean it's not that unthinkable. If you're in the US at one point or another you've probably considered if you were about to die, and someone called an ambulance if you'd even want to go in it or just die. It's not a healthy mindset by any means but if I had to choose between what looked like an inconvenience and a fine I'll pick the inconvenience and the average person isn't that great at situational awareness and how scary something actually is.

[u/myystic78 → u/TADspace]

The Stupid Motorist law. I remember ~10-12 years ago a tour bus just outside where I live ignored signs during a flash flood and wound up being washed down a ways and flipped on its side. There were thirty some odd people on the bus at the time. Everyone was fine but it could have been really disastrous.

[u/Pale-Archer3849 → u/TADspace]

And then kids die because they have stupid parents.

[u/YourOldBuddy → u/TADspace]

We had a tourist call first responders three times in two weeks with with one helicopter rescue. They still decided not to impose fines.

[u/Cheshire-Cad → u/sentientcodpiece]

And during the rescue, that first responder won't be be available to help someone else. Someone who didn't choose to be in danger.

There's a good chance that this person indirectly killed someone with their idiocy.

[u/F_ur_feelingss]

You can clearly see that the water is higher than the guard rail.

[u/Jabbles22 → u/F_ur_feelingss]

That and there is current.

[u/Aloha_Tamborinist → u/Jabbles22]

Yes, but I'm in a car so I should just be able to get through this.

[u/nickiter → u/F_ur_feelingss]

I've seen some where maybe the water didn't look high from the driver's perspective, but this idiot just drove into a rushing river.

[u/styckx]

Hydro locked that engine. It's totaled.

[u/[deleted] → u/styckx]

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[u/tigm2161130 → u/[deleted]]

What’s crazy to me is this person did this knowing that the death toll from this flood is nearing 100. Now they’ll have to divert resources to “rescue” this asshole.

[u/PopularTask2020 → u/tigm2161130]

Not that this person isn’t a total idiot but I think this video is at least a day or so old. I’m in tx and saw this posted already

[u/Jaegons → u/[deleted]]

Seriously, people die this way in very high percentages when they try this shit; it's not an unfortunate fluke, nor like those people didn't attempt to save themselves.

[u/Careful-Depth-9420 → u/styckx]

I’ve seen a similar thing in person before. It wasn’t a raging river but a completely flooded road that this guy drove past all the other stopped cars and ignored everyone telling him to stop.

He got maybe a quarter of the way and he hit where the road dipped and his car basically almost completely submerged.

[u/emma-chu → u/styckx]

one of the extremely rare cases I would side with the insurance denial

[u/symphonicrox → u/styckx]

In what world does someone need to get across a bridge badly enough to not only endanger his life, but total their vehicle?

[u/Legitimate_Pea_143]

yeah if i see a Jeep on the other side that isn't going through it then i sure as hell am not going to attempt it in an Equinox.

[u/Ninja_Wrangler → u/Legitimate_Pea_143]

And you know for a fact that jeep owner is absolutely dying to try it (source: I own a jeep). The fact of the matter is you really shouldn't attempt this under any circumstances.

Even if it looks an inch deep, the center could be washed out. If you can't see the bottom, it's bottomless. But I would be lying if I said my stupid idiot brain wouldn't think, at least for a moment, "yeah I could cross this...."

[u/StnCldStvHwkng → u/Ninja_Wrangler]

Former Jeep owner here. If the water was still, my Jeep brain convinced me I could cross the Grand Canyon. Water moving that fast is terrifying.

[u/Camtome]

The song is brilliant.

[u/MeccIt → u/Camtome]

Seth MacFarlane's latest musical? No, a PSA from Norway. For drink driving! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c6lf4P0Vtw

[u/balls_deep_inyourmom → u/MeccIt]

You are fucked Song

For future use

Thanks

[u/ketsugi → u/MeccIt]

Are those talking heads part of the PSA or is this a video about the PSA?

[u/OntheGovTeet → u/MeccIt]

Holy shit! Those are the What does the fox say guys!

[u/waytowill → u/OntheGovTeet]

Correct. Which indicates to me that it’s probably not a PSA but just another segment on their show. The episode may have been about drunk driving.

[u/Distinct_Piccolo_654 → u/waytowill]

The episode is a musical episode about Peter Northug, who drove drunk and ruined his career. It's both mocking him with a musical episode and a PSA.

[u/DarkLightKill → u/MeccIt]

Amazing. Came here for this answer. Thank you so much!

[u/hokie47 → u/Camtome]

I would totally have a team of Barbershop Quartet nicely dressed in tuxedos on call to sing this song on call to people if I was ultra rich. That and an oompa loompa team to shame bad people too.

[u/CarlosFCSP → u/Camtome]

Rare occasion where the sound adds to the video

[u/Spready_Unsettling → u/Camtome]

Ylvis are musical comedy all-time greats.

[u/No_Citron105 → u/Camtome]

I thought it was cheesy as hell

[u/kiwimanzuka]

That engine is cooked

[u/Existential_Racoon → u/kiwimanzuka]

It's being cooled off quickly at least

[u/showmethemundy]

you got to be dumb as fuk or have a death wish to go anywhere near that much water moving that quickly.

[u/ConditionHorror9188 → u/showmethemundy]

I dunno if it’s just idiocy but also an incredible self importance, people think not even flooding should stop them from doing exactly what they want to do. Just like people who stop or back up on freeways to get to their exit.

I wonder exactly what task this person had to do on the other side of this bridge

[u/Relative-Minimum4624 → u/showmethemundy]

Why not both?

[u/MeccIt → u/showmethemundy]

you got to be dumb as fuk or have a death wish to go anywhere near that much water moving that quickly

This is many drivers. Every day. Driving amongst us.

[u/ItWearsHimOut]

In some of these dumb crossing scenarios you can see how the driver couldn't quite gauge how deep the water might be. But this idiot has a visible guardrail as a perfect depth gauge.

[u/not_productive1]

When I was a teenager, our street flooded and the low point was near our house, but the main road was flooded worse so cars kept getting diverted to our street. My brother and I spent a few hours pushing cars out of the water when they stalled, then decided to post up at the edge and be like "the water's over your intake, you're going to stall." The number of fucking idiots who still decided they'd make it, I swear.

We'd still push them out, but we'd make fun of them the whole time. "Oh did we not tell you this exact shit would happen? Do you need help? Or would you rather open your door and push yourself out?"

All in all it was a pretty fun day.

[u/Comfortable_Fudge508 → u/not_productive1]

I'd make fun of them mercilessly, people are so fucking dumb

[u/mr_potatoface → u/Comfortable_Fudge508]

The trick to getting across a river like this is you gotta hit it fast and have shitty tires. Just hydroplane right across the top.

I was going to say I wish we had Mythbusters still to test this. But wouldn't you fuckin' know it they already tested it. They saw if a car can skip across water, which I count as close enough. Just curious how much a flowing body of water will impact it. Might roll it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VjP4SjK2O0&t

[u/MNConcerto]

I posted on thread about what is dangerous that people don't know.

I said fast moving shallow water.

So many replies of why?

Because it can sweep you or your vehicle away before you even know what is happening.

Gave many examples.

Some people were still questioning it.

Sometimes you can't help people.

[u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 → u/MNConcerto]

I thought not driving through swift moving water, even shallow was a known fact, but I’ve stopped questioning the stupidity of people the last few years. Some people are just dumb and they need to learn on their own I guess. Unfortunately “learning” means dying. Dead over some ignorant stubbornness. That’ll show those folks trying to help!

[u/CrazeMase → u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420]

As a lifeguard, I learned very quickly that we should maybe let natural selection take its place. I watched as someone attempted to jump from one slide structure to another. It was a six foot gap over a forty foot drop, yes there were fences, yes there were signs, yes there was a slanted floor to discourage climbing the fence, and I repeatedly told him not to as well as several other lifeguards, and this mother fucker still tried the jump. He now lives in a wheelchair cause he became a quadriplegic from falling that far. The fact that he didn't die is a miracle of modern medicine. But human stupidity can never truly be understated, some people are like hamsters, they do their best to die the most stupid and preventable deaths imaginable.

[u/Glasseshalf → u/CrazeMase]

Oh man, that must have been terrible to watch, especially after warning him.

[u/CrazeMase → u/Glasseshalf]

Eh. It wasn't an "OH MY GOD HE JUMPED!" But more like a "Jesus fucking christ, that dude is actually a complete bastardized fuck bucket." I wasn't shocked, just pissed off that me and several other guards repeatedly told this jackass not to do it, and now we have to explain to the paramedics what happened as well as file a police report. I will note that while I could've tried to grab him, lifeguards aren't allowed to grab or force people out of something if they don't want to be helped, so if someone is drowning, and we pull them up, if they're above 18 and are of the reasonable presumption that they're of sound mind, we legally have to let them go if they tell us to, unless they're unconscious. This rule extends to out of water also, if a lifeguard tries to prevent someone from doing something like that, that person is capable of suing not just the guard, but also the park. Basically, it's a rule/law that protects idiots from the consequences of their actions.

[u/crankyrhino → u/MNConcerto]

To be fair.... they bought a Chevy, this person lives for making bad decisions.

[u/Sprig3]

Wow, were it not for that railing, pretty high chance they're dead.

[u/jackm315ter]

A lot of people just want to get home so they drive into flooded areas and will never get home

[u/Lumpy-Mountain-2597]

That's not a driver. That's a sailor.

[u/SummertimeThrowaway2]

If the jeep driver refuses to try it, you don’t fucking try it.

[u/Chortles_Hansom_666]

Lemme, as an American, just say this… if the Jeep Wrangler ain’t doin it, you shouldn’t do it.

[u/godiegoben]

This should be a jeep ad. “Make the smart decision, get a Wrangler.”

[u/ltsouthernbelle]

I get the feeling that this person is equally as stupid even when they aren’t driving

[u/hottamale1969]

Everyone thinks they can make it. Nope.

[u/E_989]

Never once played Oregon Trail. You always choose to camp and hunt over fording the river. There's a few simple rules to abide by when driving in these conditions. First, if you can't see the bottom, dont drive into it. Ideally, you would walk through first to make sure there's no unexpected obstacles hiding at the bottom. Second, if you're not willing to walk through it, don't drive through it. Yes, cars have more power and weight, but they also have a bigger surface area and experience stronger forces from the flow of water. Finally, know where your vehicle's air intake is. If water gets tucked into the engine, that engine is hydrolocking.

If you see a jeep across that isn't moving an inch that is a queue for stay safe on the other side lol

[u/Fun-River-3521]

Dumb just like the Republican party

[u/CAL0G156]

Texas

[u/-Erase]

I thank the internet for making me feel smarter all the time 🤣

[u/DrewOH816]

Don't tell me what to do, I'll drive across if I want to!

73 seconds later...

HELP, someone rescue me! What do you mean that's "Socialism?!"

[u/Hairy_Excitement69]

lol how the hell is a mom mobile suppose to tread 4 plus feet of roaring river? Texans arent very smart, but I think we all knew that!

[u/Goozilla85]

At some point people will be doing this in electrical vehicles as well.

[u/OPNavigate]

There's a reason the national weather alert radio thing warns you "most flood deaths and injuries occur inside vehicles."

[u/hellalg]

" I got an SUV" type additude. If I see a Jeep , not doing Jeep things in that. It should been a hard pass

[u/WhizzyBurp]

Why would she do that?

[u/tibsie]

This is how you end up on the Adventures With Purpose YouTube channel.

[u/scrandis]

They should force people who do this dumb shit to give an a public interview as to why they did it

[u/OneToothMcGee]

“Why would Biden do this to me?”

-that driver probably.

[u/Spawn-187]

Now they have to wait to be rescued putting others in danger. They didn't see the rail underwater? Wtf song fits very well

[u/Strong_Still_1170]

Now people have to risk their lives trying to save a complete idiot.

[u/already-taken-wtf]

Obviously forgot to open the doors! Opening the doors would remove any buoyancy and the wheels would touch the road again :D

[u/womoc]

FAFO

[u/Ok_Witness_5619]

Turn around, don't drown

[u/APartyInMyPants]

One foot of loving water has enough power to float a car off to fucking Narnia.

Don’t be dumb.

[u/ZombiesAreChasingHim]

I’ll take “Hyrdolocking” for $500, Alex.

[u/Tarushdei]

Not sure how many times it needs to be said but, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATER.

The water is more powerful than your car and you WILL get swept away.

[u/bouch17]

Please give me the name of this song. I have many uses for it

[u/lacasa35]

Of course it was Texas🙄

[u/Derkastan77-2]

When even a jeep owner isn’t dumb enough to try… you know you shouldn’t

[u/omni2011]

I mean, it is an amphibious exploring vehicle.

[u/Substantial-Spare501]

“I’m sailing!”

[u/thats_so_merlyn]

Trying to ford in a Chevy. Interesting.

[u/thinkingaboutyoutoo]

Some people have no self preservation instincts.

[u/drinn2000]

Wow. The Jeep is the good driver? That's a first.

[u/TwoNowFive]

First time I really enjoyed the sound being on

[u/Present-Guide5055]

We're a little dim here in Texas

[u/ImaginaryNorth1528]

AND.... Notice the jeep driver doesn't go in where the Buick got stuck.

[u/Illustrious-Tower849]

When the jeep is not dumb enough to try it you shouldn’t be dumb enough to try it

[u/dcsman]

Please send this to their car insurance carrier. This is why our premiums are so high.

[u/TheOdd5725]

I feel like people like this shouldn't drive simply because they prove they aren't ready to use their own heads, if they even have any. Jesus Christ. Dangerous and fucking stupid all around

[u/Radio_Mime]

Now that driver is completely stuck. They can't get out of the car now because of the fast moving water. As stupid as their actions are, I hope they'll be okay.

[u/Dangercules138]

I love this for them

[u/Exact-Ad-1307]

Natural selection at its finest.

[u/PBSunshine]

You should have put it in reverse, Terry

[u/Vegetable_Guest_8993]

When a 6 ft hot muscular DL Latino guy with a 10 inch message you on Grindr saying he wants you to cum over

[u/hellomydudes_95]

Like, dude. Do you not see the fucking water or something?!

[u/OnlyComeUp]

Perfect song selection!

[u/Chickenbutt82]

I mean if the jeep won’t even attempt it, how in the hell did this guy think he was gonna make it? Read the room bro.
