If the water level just reaches the chassis, it's generally not a big issue as long as it's not submerged for an extended period. Regarding the wading depth of a car, it's usually fine as long as water doesn't enter the engine intake. Below are the hazards of a water-damaged car: 1. Car components: The interior of a car contains a large number of electronic components. If submerged, it can affect the reliability of the vehicle in the future. Even after replacement, it's hard to guarantee the car's reliability, and the likelihood of malfunctions increases later on. 2. Car interior: When the interior gets soaked, a common issue is unpleasant odors. Since the usual treatment methods after water damage are rinsing, drying, and sun exposure, some hidden areas can easily become breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to odors.

How to Adjust the Direction When a Vehicle Skids?

When a vehicle skids, the methods to adjust the direction are: 1. If the front wheels skid, steer the wheel in the opposite direction to correct it; 2. If the rear wheels skid, steer the wheel in the direction of the skid, and after the rear wheels straighten out, return to the road; 3. If the vehicle skids while going downhill, you can appropriately accelerate. Vehicle skidding refers to the sudden acceleration of the vehicle or a sudden lateral swing, which is more likely to occur on curves or in rainy or snowy weather. If a skid occurs while driving, the driver should try to stay calm, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, and quickly identify which tire is skidding. If the skid occurs during a turn, it is important to slowly release the accelerator and turn the steering wheel to correct the direction, but be careful not to turn the steering wheel too much to avoid losing control and causing an accident.

How to Judge the Distance Between Cars for Beginners?

Methods for beginners to judge the distance between cars include: 1. When you can see the upper edge of the rear bumper of the car in front, it indicates a distance of 1m. At this time, you should drive cautiously, maintain the distance, and always pay attention to the braking actions of the car in front, otherwise it is easy to rear-end; 2. When you can see the lower edge of the rear bumper of the car in front, it indicates a distance of 2m. This is a suitable following distance for slow driving in busy urban traffic; 3. When you can see the lower edge of the rear tires of the car in front, it indicates a distance of 3m. At this time, you can follow a bit closer. It is necessary to find a good distance when following a car. Generally, the distance to the car in front can be judged by the rear part of the car in front. A following distance of about 2 meters is usually appropriate. Too close is prone to rear-end collisions, and too far is easy to be cut in. Under normal circumstances, the distance can be judged by observing the position of the rear bumper and tires of the car in front through the outline of the front part of your own car.
