  1. That first deep crossing Ruford Ford, became so popular for videos, that it is now closed to traffic when any water is on the road. All kinds from small sedans sport cars, to trucks and even famers in tractors appreaed to try crossing the flooded ford. Officially anyone attempting it now faces very big fines and license penaties. It is a runoff channel from a small dam spillway, note side channel the Blue Landrover went after passing the hesitant driven car, off to the side at this ford, running away under a walk way crossing. Up to over 1 m 3ft depth at bad times. Many viewers gathering and lots of fools purposely were trying it. Forcing legal efforts to stop its abuse.

  2. I do not worry at less than 2ft deep and really only get worried nearing 3ft deep, in my Toyota Landcruiser and I DO NOT HAVE A SNORKEL INTAKE that is very common here in Australia for 4x4 serious users. I have done chest deep creek crossings, with wrapping the hood/front area entirely in a canvas tarp. Water up to base of windscreen for over 50m, 150ft. Also used my Nissan GQ Patrol to tiwn stuck cars out of a deep flooded road, with the sedan like a Holden Commodore, so not a small comoact, but full size family car, with water up to door handle. I drove in idled my Diesel Patrol while attaching a tow rope, water running into the floor area of my 4x4, then towing the car to higher dryer ground/road area. Did six cars before I was forced to leave by Police arriving, "not my job to rescue fools" was the police attitude.
