Can a car still be driven after being submerged in water to the first level?

If a vehicle has been submerged in water, it is recommended not to drive or use it. It must be inspected and repaired before use. Depending on the duration of submersion, the following situations may occur: During use: If submersion occurs. Based on the extent of submersion, if water has entered the cabin or reached a high level in the vehicle, do not attempt to enter or move the vehicle. It should be towed to a repair facility as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Stalling on flooded roads: If the vehicle stalls while driving through flooded areas or immediately after being submerged, do not attempt to drive it further. Contact a repair facility immediately for assistance. Previously submerged: Vehicles that have been repaired but not completely cleared of potential hazards still pose significant risks if continued to be used. Severe cases may result in spontaneous combustion, damage to the engine, transmission, airbags, and other components.
