In response to the man in Donegal. My road yesterday. 2-3 more inches and we wouldn’t have made it.

1. Your first mistake was driving in the river.

2. How do you manage to walk with such huge balls?

3. Where’s the air intake on that car?

4. It looks like you are driving towards a waterfall.

5. That’s what she said.

6. You’re gonna need a bigger boat

7. >2-3 more inches and we wouldn’t have made it

   That’s what my wife says

8. 2-3 more inches and my first marriage might have made it 😔

9. That isn’t a road.

10. Looks like he lives in the Amazon or something.

11. My dad wrote off my mam’s car years ago chancing something like this. The water level kept rising. The car cut out and the water came in the doors. He still hears about it 20 odd years later.

12. Why did you decide to drive it?

13. Isn’t this a bit risky? Did you get out of the car and measure water level?

14. This sub is crazy, why is this guy driving in a river?

15. I have an inexplicably strong urge to consume a bag of cans by the side of this road.

16. Just get a boating license mate!

17. Ta mo croi in mo bheal!

18. Why would you risk driving into that? Fuck that.

19. I wouldnt have chanced that.

20. That a pick-up at least?

21. What’s the car?

22. What are you driving @OP ?

    I know some Land Rovers are signed off to up to 3 feet of water, but there aren’t many vehicles I’d risk fording that road in.

23. Where is this?

24. I’m sorry I watched this – a floppy tax holder is my pet peeve.

25. But what was playing on the radio?

26. Not gonna lie, but near the start, it looks like you’re heading towards a waterfall 🤣

27. Foam over floods any day. Drive safe 👍

28. Was there any point when your gut was telling you to just go back?

29. I live in the countryside and this is why we own a pickup. Never would have attempted that in a car

    ( Without the pickup we would be unable to get home at times).

30. Glad the road was still underneath you. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a car or a pick up or truck, you’re screwed if there’s no road. Testing the water depth in one spot doesn’t mean it’s not a metre deeper 10cm further than that. Water over road = do not go.

31. Well that was kinda dumb

32. Buddy, that’s a river.

33. Duelling Banjos played in my mind while watching that

34. Surprised someone didn’t blow by at 80.

35. I used to do this in AK all the time. You see the water building up in front of the vehicle?

    If you let off the throttle for a brief moment and let that wave get about 3ft in front of you, the water behind it will be extremely shallow compared to the rest and you can chase it through.

    I do not recommend this at all, just something I’ve experienced.

36. High time to form the Irish answer to the Cajun Navy!

37. My preferred choice of transport would of been a little 50 rib

38. You did it right OP. Once you get that now wave going stay right behind it (as long as it makes sense of course!)

39. You just need a boat!!🚣‍♂️

40. I’m sure as a backup you had the oars in the back seat? 😀
