What is the safest response when water covers the road and its depth or current is uncertain?
Car A is before water covering the full roadway ahead. The card states that its depth and current are uncertain. No turn route or safe turnaround location is shown.
Correct answer: Turn around and find another route.
Why
Floodwater can hide road damage, stall a vehicle, or sweep it away; uncertain water should not be entered.
