What is the correct way to follow a car into a flooded road section?

[Johnathan]

When following a car into a flooded road section, you should increase the distance from the car in front and proceed with caution at a slow speed. Here are the precautions for driving through flooded road sections: 1. Observe the water conditions: Pay attention to the water depth. Watch the vehicles currently driving through the water and judge whether your vehicle can pass smoothly based on the water level and vehicle position. 2. Observe the road conditions: Determine shallow water areas and areas without potholes by observing other vehicles passing through the water. 3. Driving through water: Always drive at a low speed. For manual transmission vehicles, it is recommended to use second or third gear depending on the water depth. In cases of deep water and heavy traffic, use first gear. Avoid stepping hard on the accelerator, as accelerating is the least advisable. Many drivers worry about stalling and step hard on the accelerator to drive quickly, which often causes more problems.
