There are a couple of low lying areas a few miles where I live. They get flooded first. Every time these get flooded, there’s always an idiot drives through the flood. Car conks out.

They should know that insurance will not pay out for their stupidity.

Though if parked in a car park all day and the CP floods during that time, that’s different,

This one isn't too hard to work out. People not from the area will have a hard time judging the depth of the water. They also may not be at fault if someone driving toward them goes too fast and throws the water into their air intake.

So their inevitably lost registration plate can join the leaderboard of shame on their local FB group?

I mean why do people carry on burning fossil fuels ?
Why do people overeat and under exercise ?

Desperation and stupidity are the only reasons I can think of

Everyone knows a car and its steel cage provides a cloak of invulnerability which completely shields you from the dangers of the outside world. That and the fact that accidents/consequences only happen to other people.

People Mistake a flood for a puddle

People are under pressure ( real or self inflicted ) so take a chance
