Floodwater covers the roadway ahead and you cannot determine its depth or the condition underneath. 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: Turn around and find a safe route that avoids the flooded roadway.
Why
Do not enter a flooded roadway when its depth or underlying condition is uncertain. Water can hide damage, affect control and carry a vehicle away. Turn around at a safe place and choose another route; do not rely on another driver’s decision to cross.
