Traffic frustrates. SUNKEN traffic frustrates absolutely.

These recent events show a few stubborn drivers going against the flow... and even making it to the other side sometimes (to the amazement of those who thought that their cars were only good as anchors)


Most photos were taken during flooding in Sofia, Bulgaria, in Minsk, Belorus, and in Moscow and Kazan, Russia.

Heavy trucks (even of a military kind) might get in trouble too... although this particular image has a better ending: the truck made it to the other side; it's a test track for the army vehicles, which includes deep water crossings:

Some cars don't need a wide-spread flood to get in trouble। It just happens to them -


Kids make the most out of flooded roads (picture taken during recent flooding in Jakarta) -

Need an idea what to do while stuck in flooded traffic? Take a hint from these statues:
