On many occasions, vehicles become stuck in the water after their engines cut out - leading to emergency services being called to rescue operations.The stretch of road was once named as the most common place in the county for drivers to get stuck. She explained: “We love it, we come every week. Just the cars going through and splashing everywhere, the boys love it!It comes after Nottinghamshire Police were seen at the scene earlier this year, carrying out speeding prevention work. It came after a video was taken at Rufford Ford showing a number of cars and also quadbikes appearing to go through standing water very quickly.
Ciaran Patteson, 17, also from Nottingham, added: “We’ve been here loads of times. It’s just flooded. Cars get stuck and get dragged out. I saw a taxi get stuck in it last week.”
