A TikTok video of a car floating under a flooder bridge with its driver has left South African online users in stitches.

In the clip uploaded by @sjswanepoel10, the small Mazda is floating in the water flooded under a bridge in Centurion, Pretoria. The driver can be seen inside the car, seemingly trying to get his car out of the water.

The driver presumably thought his small car could make it to the other side of the water, so he took the risk. Unfortunately, it landed him in a place where other drivers laughed at him.
