Water covers a roadway or viaduct and its depth and current are unknown. What should a driver do?
Car A approaches water covering the full roadway ahead. Its depth and current are uncertain. A remains before the water.
Correct answer: Turn around and use another route.
Why
Unknown floodwater can hide a washed-out surface or enough current to move a vehicle, so the safe choice is another route.
