You just didn't hit it fast enough!The last time I drove through a puddle larger than a car, it was a 92 Buick Skylark, in North Carolina during the rainy season... I literally felt the car float off its wheels for a few seconds.. and this was with 5-6 inches of water..on a major road. Edit I may have been going a little fast for the conditions at that time
I dunno man, I don't think it takes much skill to imitate idiots
At least some people have snorkels on their Land Cruiser or 4x4 pickup trucks which helps but still need to worry about the depth of the water in certain cases.
Well I am certainly not any good at it, judging by all the coaching I get when it is my turn to play victim. You're supposed to make it hard on the trainees, but not impossible or too outside the realm of the plausible. You have to be the right kind of pretend idiot.I dunno man, I don't think it takes much skill to imitate idiots
"It was only up to here on the ducks!!"
I have to "guess" you also were not one of the ones who got washed a hundred yards down the river then sat on top of your vehicle waiting for the search and rescue people to come get you back to shore? This is what I was talking about that seemed to ALWAYS be some local who had lived there a good while. For many years they would just get them to safety and all had a good laugh. The authorities finally got tired of it always being someone who should know better and started slapping them with LARGE fines. I had a Sister in Law who pulled this stunt with a brand new little Honda she was so proud of. Financed all on her own. Surprising to me her insurance paid out as "flood damage" and gave her a new car. So that one spread the cost to all of us. She had grown up there so sure as hell should have known better, but was tired after a long shift and did not want to drive to the nearest crossing that had a bridge. Said the "water did not look that deep". The famous line used every damn time.
