As an owner of shares in Admiral I shall be advising them of these idiots and hopefully they will refuse to pay out on insurance claims! :cry:

I’d have thought the problem could be solved quite easily just by putting some hefty speed bumps either side of the ford – the whole point of it seems to be to drive through quickly, and speed bumps would soon sort that out.

Until the rising water covers the bump.

This is just an example of the internet ruining everything, if this hadn't gone viral on TikTok they wouldn't have idiots taking it too far.

It seems they have had idiots flooding their cars for a while but they were only hurting themselves.
