I am not surprised. I despair of humanity in general. It seems the stupidity of people is without limit.
Why do they do that?

Does it still happen in Weymouth?
There used to be a sign saying "No parking at spring tides". So people would park there Summer, Autumn and Winter.

With regard to insurance claims, it could be considered gross negligence and the insurance company might refuse to pay I would have thought.

The notices at Lindisfarne are absolutely everywhere. You can't miss 'em, and they are very clear. Many include pictures of people standing on the roof of flooded cars. They even sell postcards of people stranded.
Even if you have never heard of tides before in your life, it would be hard to get it wrong unless you wilfully ignored the signs, your watch had stopped AND you ignored the physical presence of the rising water.

Absolutely in which case
Should be a must!
Holy Island and Seahouses coastguards have made plenty of recent references to causeway calamities on their fb sites

ahh, But if it happened to me I would claim that I had broken down. In fact, I might even call a rescue company & grumble that they had arrived too late!
It would be hard to prove that there wasn't a fault with the engine CPU after a few hours in sea water wouldn't it? I wonder if people daft enough to get caught would be crafty enough to think that thro?
I suspect that they might, cos I think they are more likely to be thinking "ohh, It will be alright, it will only take us a minute to get across." and "It's OK, it won't be that deep" or "Relax, tides take 6 hours to go in or out" rather than "What's all this nonsense about tides?"

I think the problem is that there are too many pointless rules and regulations that can be broken without consequence.
Stupid people simply can't differentiate. They should be charged for the environmental cleanup too!!
.... by the way we used to have to put labels on our car batteries for the U.S. market warning people not to drink the contents.
