BMW failed to ford the A26

Coming back the other day from a wet and soggy journey to Maidstone, I slowed in readiness for a possible hold up.

Coming out in the morning, I'd had to drive (ford) my way through water which completely covered the width of the road. 

I'd already encountered many minor floods on back roads and negotiated those, but the one on the A26, I knew would be a potential problem.

It was.

A BMW had decided the centre of the road was shallow enough.....it wasnt and by the looks of it, the car had died, right where traffic needed to be really.

The area was now enjoying the waterboard, the traffic police, the road maintenance crew, the RAC and a shed load of traffic tailing back in both directions. 

It would have been so much easier without the stranded car.

The waterboard looked worried; under all that standing water which was up to their knees, they valiantly prodded and hunted for the blocked drains we had reported some five weeks ago.

Shame it wasn't picked up then.
