Exactly the reason that drongo was charged in that Land Cruiser a couple of years ago. Tool did not have a clue if the bridge had partially collapsed or not.
He would have had a backhander from me if it was my kid.
If a picture tells a thousand words , i'll spare you 950 of them.
There was an image of a 100m of road sloping towards a flooded creek? bridge. At some point up to three quaters of the road had been eroded away up to probably 2 metres deep .
Squalos point was that at some stage with the water up to the road level you wouldn't know that there a 2metre trench for you to unwittingly drive into!
A pity the image had disappeared.
