With the Winter months upon us here in Australia, our rivers and creeks are beginning to fill to higher levels than we saw over Summer. Crossing a river at the best of times has its dangers but when rivers start running faster and deeper it can be a recipe for disaster.
Here I have put together a timely reminder of just what can go wrong. Take a look at these ten river crossing fails and learn what not to do next time your out and about in your 4WD.
Just remember too, a well prepared vehicle with snorkel, winch and driveline breather extensions is a must if you intend to travel through deep water.
