don't drive through it or wait till someone else drives through before I do,
simples just need to "test the water" ,,,
incidentally driving through deep flood last year cost me a fair old bill for replacing the gaiters to my shock abs which got ripped off,
and as for the West Stafford By Pass why has it NOT yet been sorted, it has been closed most of the last 6 months ...
and in the meantime I have various drivers coming past my otherwise quiet house every minute and I might add at a rather stupido speed ,,, not long before someone knocks one of the elderly residents down on one of the bends in West Stafford where there is no pavement,
SLOW DOWN everyone please,
