Description
The driver of this car (not a woman) decided to take a chance through this flood near my home on Wednesday. Just a few metres more and his car spluttered to a halt and he had to be towed out.

Yep some people will never learn mate!

The water isn't too deep. He could have made it but you can see he's making the classical mistake. The fear of getting caught overwhelms the brain and makes you go faster when what you need to do is to go slower. He is making a bow wave that the car is then driving into and the fan blades will wash the water up over the engine disabling the spark plugs and killing the engine. If he went slower, the water is clearly not deep enough for the fan to touch it.

So who is the U-Boat Commander!!! I'd say he who dares loses in this case. I bet that guy walking towards him had a damn good laugh!

An AUDI is just not a boat. It's his own fault. Superb shot!
MagikUnicorn
Cool shot ;-)

Some folks with money ( I said some not the majority)believe they are immune from stupidity....Just my observation...And knowing how expensive an Audi can be after it's flooded out that he's in for a sticker shock for his decision to play boat captain..
helanker
HAHA! Well Not the smartest guy.--- and I wonder why you mentioned women in this connection??? And I thought the same as Whaleman :)But I would not go in ther in the first place, unless I had someone sitting on the front measuring the depth first LOL!

evinrude
Pretty dumb, yes. Still a stupendous shot. Way to be in the moment.
MrsRatbag
Yikes, it's been looking much like that around here lately. And they do say never drive into a body of water across the road...
moochagoo

There is always someone that has to try! ;D And of cause there's the guy on the other side wathing thinking to himself NOPE! he's not going to make it! LOL! Funny moment and a great capture Jeff! :D

We also have a phrase here, just flipped from the one bakapo mentioned; "Turn around, don't drown." San Antonio is hilly and any time we have heavy rains, we have flash flooding. Creeks rise where there was just a dry bed and low points become fast flowing rivers. All over the city, barriers (similar to those at railway crossings) come down, and all over the city idiots drive around them and get caught in fast flowing currents. They are now subject to the cost of their rescue if they go around a barrier (assuming they survive of course.) Great capture and totally apt title!
