How to Safely Pass Through Flooded Road Sections?
1 Answers
Safely passing through flooded road sections requires maintaining steady throttle, driving at a low gear with constant speed, and avoiding mid-way stops, sudden steering wheel turns, or gear shifts. When unsure about the road conditions, observe how preceding vehicles pass through the flooded area and follow their path for added safety. Avoid multiple vehicles consecutively entering the water to prevent disruptions in the normal driving of following vehicles if the leading vehicle encounters issues. If the vehicle stalls while passing through the flooded section, wait for rescue on the spot and never attempt to restart the engine forcefully, as this could cause deformation of critical components like the engine crankshaft and connecting rods, leading to secondary damage to the vehicle.
