Err the clues in the name.....FOG LIGHT !! When you get a rain light you will find yourself in a race car, all a fog light does in rain is confuse and dazzle and actually hide the effect of a brake light, I would say in almost 30 years driving I have only ever been in such bad visibility about 10-15 times ive had to use a rear fog light. Do you not notice that 99% of other cars do not have a fog light on but amazingly you have not driven into the back of them.

Hang on. Someone makes an error of judgement that doesn't harm anyone else, and yet it's deemed funny by some on here when that person, and more importantly someone else helping them out, is purposely covered in deep water just because the RR driver deems himself more important than other humans.
Not sure what this says about people here.

That they have a sense of humour?
If you find that funny then you must be under 16. Or perhaps act under 16.
I feel sorry for you.

If I had a range rover and saw you all trying to push a stranded merc out of a big puddle I would've 'tanked it' and soaked you all as well, no point inconviniencing myself because some knob can't judge how much water his car can go through and there is no point me crawling past you as me and the other RR driving people have places to be.

It's nothing to do with sense of humour. If you find it funny that good samaritans get covered in water. Perhaps dirty water. Perhaps even damaging their clothes. Perhaps ruining their phone.

You really need to look at what the so-called "good Samaritans" are usually doing in these scenarios. They're not helping, they're meddling.If you find that funny then you must be under 16. Or perhaps act under 16.

I've often driven (in all my Land Rover awesomeness) past gangs of cold looking idiots trying to push cars out of snow filled ditches and I just ignore them. Why?
Because guaranteed, another 500 yards along the same road will be another.....and another...and another. If a car slides in to a ditch or gets flooded it's God's way of telling you to walk home, crack open a beer and sit in front of the telly.
A dead car is baggage, and usually so too is anyone trying to "rescue" it with nothing more than a hefty shove.
Ruining their phone? If they were even a little bit sensible, they'd hand all their electronics/valuables to a trusted bystander and say "Hold this, and if I give the Team America secret signal....call the police....or the RNLI". Or failing that lock it all in their own vehicle. I don't even keep my phone on me when I'm washing my (awesome) Land Rover.
I just don't subscribe to this idea that because someone considers themselve's to be "helping", they are somehow excused any accusation of gross stupidity.
What doesn't appear to have been adequately picked up on as yet is the fact that there was already a recovery truck on the scene, presumably with a flaccid looking rope being held aloft waiting for the brave lemmings to push the car out of the water lest someone get their hand wet fitting the towing eye underwater.

I've had 3 Range Rovers in the last 15 years and have to say i'd feel obliged to stop at the ford, offer my help or wait and be patient*.
- unless most of the Range Rover hater knob jockeys in this thread were in the ford. In this case i'd steam through full speed laughing my tits off.

No need for a bow wave in 2 feet of water. Official wading depth is 600mm, so should have driven slowly.
Unless it was the very new range rover - wading depth in that is 900mm.
Therefore, driver = cock
Read greg's post directly above your own. There was even less need to push the scrap car out of the water than usual, so the water boys didn't even need to be there.Unless it was the very new range rover - wading depth in that is 900mm.
Therefore, driver = cock
Who's the cock again?
