This Londoner's attempt to drive through a heavily flooded road didn't end well
LONDON -- Flooded roads are a tricky business.
Every now and then -- depending on your vehicle and exactly how deep the water is -- it's possible to sneak through a deep puddle, but attempting to navigate anything more waterlogged is always likely to end in disaster.
On Tuesday, parts of London became flooded after heavy rainfall. Manor Road in Wallington -- particularly a dip in the road beneath the railway track -- was very badly affected.
