There are probably different reasons why people drive through flood waters......a sense of urgency about the house and/or people in it (must get home before the weather worsens), over-estimating either the driver's or the vehicle's capabilities (just because those 4WDs in TV ads can do it under 'controlled circumstances' doesn't mean you can).....but no matter what the reason, don't do it.

Just don't.

Shane has special powers, which is why he can!

I saw that TV report, it was quite surprising. A little girl was able to move a large 4WD around in the water tank with seemingly no effort at all, so it made us realise just how much water could move a vehicle.
