I remember in the early 90 ties in my Opel kadett, going fishing and as always back then in a hurry, i came down a hill and at the bottom was a slight right turn before it went up hill again.
But as it was after rain i dident expect the 10 - 20 CM of water on the road there,,,,,, good thing there was no oncoming traffic cuz you cant aquaplane and turn, so when i got out of the water and had visibility again i was in the wrong lane.
BTW some like me might not know what a ford can also be.
A shallow place in a river or stream allowing one to walk or drive across.
In Danish we call it a "vadested", that translate to a place where you can walk across a river in fairly low water. ( i assume in old Danish vade mean walk, it is a old word still in use some places )
we call them vaders English call them Waders
"high waterproof boots, or a waterproof garment for the legs and body, used especially by anglers when fishing"
Probably one of the 500 or so Danish words that made it into the English language when we had a presence over there in the old days.
OR ! vice versa.
