You're asking why women do what they do?

Everytime. Im still amazed how people get their cars flooded trying to drive through that overpass every fkn time. That overpass is fricked and there has been a leak in the retaining wall under the RR tracks for the past 3 yrs or so.

Driving your vehicle into flood waters should void the damn insurance policy. We all get higher rates because of idiots like these.

It's sad they have to put a water depth sign on a roadway because it floods so often

AZ has a "stupid motorist law" where if you drive into moving water and have to be rescued, you're on the hook for 100% of the cost of the rescue.

Wow, I drove there about an hour ago after eating at MoPho. There was some sort of hydrant or something spilling water on the southbound side in addition to the rain. My car barely got across going north; no way it would have made it going south.

I don't know why people even try.

From the concrete retaining wall on the right side of Member's picture. You can see where the truck is stopped right next to it. Interstate side of the RR overpass.
