I think he passes. Extra credit would have been seeing all the cars slowing down before heading into water of unknown depth at full speed.

Wow! Given all the things that should have happened there, amazing ability to hold onto the end of result of riding into that flooded roadway.

Amazing video! It seemed like he was riding blind during the initial splash into the deep water - probably couldn't see a thing at all!
That must have really scared him very badly. Nice video find Alex! Also - surprised the 650R kept running during that depth of water. It has a very low slung exhaust. |

Your exhaust can go under as long as the intake can still get air. You just gotta stay on the throttle, we do it on 4wheelers all the time muddin'.
