Reminds me of the time a bloke tried to top himself by jumping off a chippy roof in Chesterfield one evening, everyone who was out on the piss gathered round and shouted "Get on with it then...".

Do police van drivers get advanced driving training?
Thank you, but the sentiment is the same ;)
Don't lie!
I'd expect at least one of them in the vehicle to know how to deal with a flooded road and shout the magic word when the idiot behind the wheel started accelerating into the water.
Yes, I agree. It shouldn't require an advanced driver to cope with that more sensibly.
Best wishes all, Dave.
I thought there were no umlauts in "umlaut"
There aren't but I thought WTF, let's have some.
Ta for the crosspost to uk.rec.self-righteous.wankers Tim.
Whöösh...
What with one of your boring attempts at self justification?
Blah, blah blah... Bites harder than a 40lb cod.
You're welcome.
Dave, I was taking the piss. :-)
You normally pick up on such things, are you OK?
Oh right. Sorry.
No, not really, but we've all got our problems. I won't bore you with my current assortment, but thanks for asking.
Best wishes all, Dave.
Looks to me as if they were held up by the flood and taking pictures of it as they hung around. The filming only seems to start when it's clear that the van is going to try to go through.

It was also a H bend and the plod couldnt see the full extent of the flooding due the the hedge.
McK.
Surely all the more reason to take it easy?
Bollocks, but in any case you never attempt to drive through water at the speed the plod did. They got what they deserved.
Tim..
Dämn!
(Could have sworn there used to be...)
If you need to apologise, then ITV certainly do; they've just shown it as a viewer contribution from one George Smith, in relation to the latest floods.
Kwality !
