Should You Drive Fast or Slow Through Water?

[LeElijah]

When driving through waterlogged sections, it is advisable for sedans to proceed at a slow speed. Driving slowly increases the contact area between the tires and the road surface, thereby providing greater traction. Additional Notes: 1. When driving on flooded roads, engage a low gear to maintain sufficient vehicle power, enter the water slowly at low speed, hold the steering steady, and pass through at a constant speed without shifting gears, stopping, or making sudden turns. 2. Ranking the potential damage to the vehicle from low to high, conventional speed bumps should be very low, concrete speed bumps are the most damaging, and hard dirt mounds may be in the medium to high range. If the vehicle starts to skid, avoid pressing hard on the brakes or making sudden steering movements, as this may cause the car to skid sideways.
