There was someone in a Discovery a few days back who aquaplaned just as they were coming out of the water and nearly lost it completely, really lucky they didn't hit the parked cars and worse take a few people out in the process. Obviously its acting up for the cameras but it appears to me to be getting a bit dangerous now

What offence would they be charged with though? I doubt they are breaking the speed limit and "not being in proper control of a vehicle" would probably also not stick.

Dangerous driving, undue care and attention, anti-social behaviour.....the cops have a list as long as your arm if they so want to use them.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

There's a couple of past videos of the police parked up in the entrance to the property next to the Ford and as soon as someone has gone through at even moderate speeds the blue lights of come on and they've pulled the driver up down the road.
I guess it will be a warning to keep the speed down according to the conditions. Someone flooring it through there it's only a matter of time. There seems to be alot of young kids that the parents bring along for a bit of fun watching people come to grief but it seems to have turned into who can drive through there the fastest. Not really a good idea.

There is a ford on the river Wear in Stanhope (Co Durham) that has been closed to traffic because of the chumps going through when the river is flowing faster / deeper than normal.
One of the worst abuses of common sense is the crossing on Holy Island - that beggars belief ! There are signs that say “when the water reaches here - Do Not Cross”. Yet they do!

Can’t be a problem as we have a hosepipe ban as there is not enough water

That is some surface tension
In my old schooldays I would have been able to calculate the required speed based on weight and pressure surface but that is beyond me now
