Undertaking SUVs that decide to go on the wrong side of the road to avoid the large puddle.....

I’ve always wondered why people think driving through puddles is a good idea. Can you see the missing manhole in the puddle or are you using the force?

Its good 'cause you can get the d!ckhead in a precious SUV wet...:f2:

It was a genuine question, air pressure alone will pop a manhole, how do you know what’s in the water? Why risk the damage to your car by driving through a puddle or have it aquaplane and veer into someone else?

Im always astounded when I see people not attempt to avoid standing water.

Normally it's a blocked drain causing the huge puddle. I only do it where I know the road and that it's a known flooding spot. It's only an inch or two deep, it may cause concern if I was in a 4200 but not an SUV with tyre sidewalls higher than the water. It's like they are overtaking a parked car.

Today my trusty stead the Renault 4 has gone over 170,000 kilometres bringing back building materials and running better than the British Government on Charlie ;)
