Surly road closed should be there to act as a warning that obviously this road is closed for one reason or another, if someone chooses to ignore and hurts themself well thats their own fault isnt it?

Agreed, but when you get stuck, you are putting Police, fire and ambulance crews at risk when they try and save your backside.
Also when driving a flooded road, you cannot see what is under the water! the road could have started to break up and you could be heading for a large pot hole. If its a few inched no problem, but drive with caution. The other thing some times its hard to see where the verge, ditch or road is.

I agree there are some occasions where you would look and common sense would say nope not even gonna go there can't see the bottom, don't know the roads etc etc (some people seem to have no common sense at all) Like the people who can see a sign that say water 6ft yet still try to drive through :? that is where the problems start.
Bit different when the road is closed due to an accident and there are police there!
But sometimes when its jsut a little bit of flooding unpassable for a car but ok for a landrover, or when they closed a road round here to do a bit of resufacing to the edges so the workmen didn't get ran over during the day, but at night when tools etc were packed away there was nothing wrong with the road yet they kept it closed. I think in those instances your not doing much harm having a mouch and a drive down.

Kinda... Its a warning.... if he cocks up again I'll take the car he's driving.
On another note if you go through a flood, watch out for man hole covers that have been blown off by water pressure, that will take a wheel off!
