What is the correct practice for drivers when passing through waterlogged roads?

[MaciLee]

When driving through waterlogged roads, drivers should slow down or avoid them, and must not accelerate to pass through. Below are precautions for driving a motor vehicle through water: 1. Drive in a low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission vehicles, engage the hill-climbing gear) and slowly and steadily pass through the waterlogged road while maintaining control of the steering wheel. Pay attention to whether there are potholes or gaps under the waterlogged section of the road. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in the waterlogged section, remember not to restart the engine. Since the engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders, restarting it could cause severe damage due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or breaking of the piston connecting rod components, and in severe cases, even complete engine failure.
