....and I'm genuinely glad the lady in question is ok, and do feel for her in such a terrifying situtation, but this really strikes me as an excellent example of Darwinism in action. I've driven through that ford *loads* in the past in the van, and there are clear depth markers. I set myself a limit of 40cm as a safe water height to manage to get through it in the van, and once, against my better judgement (and after doing half a 3-point turn to go the other way) went through it at 50cm, thinking "well, it's only a bit more than 40cm, how bad can it be if I'm careful", and the back end started sliding - managed to control it, and gave myself a good metaphorical kick up the arse and reminded myself why I self-imposed a limit of 40cm, and swore "never again" and stuck to it......
But the water in this case was 5 feet high! Now I'm not 100% sure, but that might have been enough to submerge the depth markers, but seriously, how stupid have you got to be to even attempt it?
