Go anywhere 4x4's don't!

I see the usual couple clowns who reckon their new fourbe guarantees they can get to the "other side" have had a rude awakening in Karatha WA during the big wet there today 290 odd mm in 12 hours.

Two clever types walked a floodway - until it got too hard to walk so they came back, got the 4x4 & tried to drive it, the water was up to the bonnet & fast flowing. Hopefully to teach them a lesson their insurance company was watching the news & scrubs their claim. Next time they could have kids in the car with tragic results.

Then there was the brain dead coot towing a 19 - 21 foot boat thru similar conditions,

'hello' ................boats float soldier.

Boat tows 4x4 down the river, of course. At least they were able to get the boat off the trailer & had a 'on the spot' rescue craft.

Sorry if I sound hard on these d&*kheads but why aren't they made to get some advice / lessons on wheeling before they take their new toy into the bush?

Off my soapbox now
