What measures should be taken when encountering flooded roads while driving a motor vehicle?

[EmilyFitz]

Article 64 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When a motor vehicle passes through a flooded road or bridge, it should stop to observe the water conditions, confirm safety, and then pass at a low speed without shifting gears, stopping, or making sharp turns midway. Avoid stopping midway: When a vehicle is wading through water, if it stops midway, the forward driving force of the vehicle suddenly changes, causing waves to surge toward the engine compartment from both sides. Many wiring connectors are prone to water ingress, leading to engine failure to start. Slow down: While wading, pay special attention to slowing down and avoid staring at the changing water flow to prevent stopping midway. After wading, intermittently lightly press the brake pedal to restore braking efficiency.
