Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Water covers the road ahead and you cannot judge its depth or the condition of the pavement beneath it. What should you do?
Car A approaches water covering the full roadway ahead. Its depth and current are uncertain. A remains before the water.
Correct answer: Avoid the flooded road and use a safe alternative
Why
Do not enter floodwater when you cannot assess the roadway safely. Turn around where lawful and safe and choose another route. Floodwater can hide washouts, stall the vehicle or sweep it away; a guessed depth is not a safe clearance test.
