How to Safely Drive Through Water with a Car?

[RyanLynn]

Methods for safely driving through water with a car: 1. Engage a low gear and drive smoothly into the water, avoiding excessive throttle or sudden acceleration to prevent water splashing into the engine and causing it to stall; 2. Maintain steady throttle pressure to pass through in one go, avoiding stopping, shifting gears, or making sharp turns midway; 3. If encountering quicksand at the bottom or the wheels slipping and spinning, stop immediately without forcing forward or backward, and especially avoid pressing the accelerator pedal hard while partially engaging the clutch; 4. While moving, look far ahead while staying aware of the immediate surroundings, focusing on a fixed distant target, and hold the steering wheel straight with both hands to proceed; 5. When crossing flooded roads or bridges, maintain a constant speed and follow a fixed route to pass through in one go; 6. When multiple vehicles are crossing water, never enter the water simultaneously; wait for the preceding vehicle to reach the opposite bank before the next vehicle proceeds.
