    Maybe our roads are not so bad

    At least we have bridges.

    Reminds me of the time I took my wife's little Suzuki 2-door 4WD for an errand. It started pouring down and the shortcut home was flooded. I said "To hell with it, this is a 4WD after all". So I revved the engine, eased into the water and kept the revs high to prevent water entering the exhaust. Lo and behold, no problem.

    The light little jeep went through the water without any problems and no water entered the cabin. Near the deepest part, the jeep seemed to slow down and I couldn't figure out why until I realised that it was floating! I kept the wheels turning and "hydro-wheeled" myself to the other side where the wheels touched bottom and made it out of the water.

    I remember mid-way through, there was a little guy on a motorcycle parked by the side taking shelter from the rain and staring at me incredulously throughout the whole time. I laugh now but I didn't tell my wife about it till after her beloved Jimny was sold and I know she'd laugh with me about it too...

    Quad bike would be the way to go over there I reckon.
