Making waves..

I understand the frustration, but the driver appears to be doing around 5 mph!

If I were this particular 'plank' and driving that slowly caused outbursts such as this, I would wish you good luck and would stop transporting or delivering anything.

Having driven through water such as this myself, 2 or 3 mph is enough to cause such a wave.You either want the trucks to move items around in such adverse conditions, or you don't.

Put yourself in the farmers wellies , or any local resident for that matter . They've been flooded for weeks and no seems to want to help them . Keep building on the flood plains , stop dredging , keep sending millions in foreign aid . Let the tax paying nationals bend over and take it again .

All of which justifies ranting at someone who appears to be innocent and is probably 'doing his bit', in some capacity or another, to help out? I would be patting drivers like that on the back..

Notwithstanding that his wave is flooding the blokes home. Are you expecting him just to watch that happening?

No.I would expect him to get the arse with anyone who drove through causing a wave you could surf on.If his home is flooded, the rather tiny wave created here is hardly going to make a difference.

He's ranting at the wrong person due to his lack of understanding of how vehicles move through deep water.Part of me hopes the driver was trying to deliver the world's most powerful bilge pump, but decided instead to just turn round and go home.
