Does Water on the Road Affect the Car?
1 Answers
Water on the road does affect the car. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Driving through water: Many cars experience a significant decrease in braking performance after driving through water. This is because water enters the brake drums, reducing the friction coefficient. Therefore, after driving through water, you should not accelerate quickly. Instead, drive in a low gear for a while and intentionally apply the brakes lightly several times to use the heat generated by braking to quickly evaporate the water. 2. Precautions: When encountering a waterlogged section of the road, the driver should first assess the actual situation (depth of the water) to decide whether to proceed. If it's a familiar section and the driver is confident in the vehicle's ability to pass through, an attempt can be made.
