Have you ever wondered why water feels so harmless, right up until the second it starts moving?

Following the tragic loss of a motorist in Olivella whose car was swept away by a flooded riera, Riley looks past the technical talk to ask the real question: why do smart people still drive into water?

From the psychology of panic to the life-saving rule of ”pause and assess”, this episode breaks down what actually happens when rising flood water pins your car doors shut, why your windows are your only real way out, and how to spot the Spanish R-100 road sign that tells you a route is completely closed.

Mark has the legal manuals and the mechanical data. Riley has the human reality.
