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

[BrookeLee]

You should increase the distance from the vehicle in front and follow cautiously at a slow speed. Here are the precautions for driving through flooded road sections: 1. Observe the water flow: Pay attention to the depth of the water. Watch other vehicles driving through the water to assess whether your vehicle can pass safely based on the water level and vehicle position. 2. Check the road conditions: Use the path of previous vehicles to determine shallow areas and avoid potholes. If there are no vehicles ahead, you must get out and test the depth yourself before proceeding. 3. Driving through water: Always drive at a low speed. For manual transmission vehicles, use second or third gear depending on the water depth. In deep water with heavy traffic, use first gear. 4. Avoid pressing the accelerator hard: Accelerating is the least advisable action. Many drivers worry about stalling and press the accelerator hard to speed through, which often causes more problems.
