What are the effects of excessive road water accumulation on vehicles?

[VanHarper]

If the water level exceeds half of the tire height, do not force your way through as this can easily cause water to enter the exhaust pipe, leading to severe engine damage. Below are some wading techniques: 1. Follow the vehicle ahead: If a similar type of vehicle can pass, then you can too. 2. Assess the water condition: Areas with waves and whirlpools likely have large rocks or other obstacles, while calm surfaces usually indicate deeper water. Places with uniform small waves typically have a smoother road surface underneath, making them the best choice for crossing. 3. Determine water depth: If the water level is above the exhaust pipe, there is a risk of stalling and water ingress. Increase the distance from the vehicle ahead, and if an unexpected situation arises, turn around immediately.
