Until 16 years ago, I used to work from Ilfracombe and park a work vehicle in that car park. It was very clearly signed that it flooded from time to time. Sometimes a board would warn of expected flooding (wind and tide conditions). The car owners will have almost wilfully ignored the warnings, I would speculate.
As others have commented, some of the people filmed have behaved very stupidly, or been extremely ignorant.
