Will Water Enter the Car if It Submerges Above the Door?

[Jasper]

Water will enter the car if it submerges above the door, but the process is relatively slow. Here are the details: Water ingress speed: When a vehicle is submerged, water will gradually seep in. The interior is temporarily a sealed space, so as long as the doors remain closed, the water ingress will be slow—unless the water level exceeds 50% of the door's steel panel height. The higher the pressure, the faster the water will enter. Of course, the actual speed also depends on the depth of submersion and the duration. Precautions: During heavy rainstorms, turn on all vehicle lights to ensure other drivers can see your car, reducing the risk of collisions. Try not to exceed 40 km/h. Wet roads in heavy rain are usually slippery, making it easier for the vehicle to lose control. Always hold the steering wheel with both hands, maintaining a straight and slow driving speed.
