Floodwater covers a road and its depth or surface condition is uncertain. What should you do?
Floodwater covers the road ahead of the blue learner. Its depth, current and underlying surface are unknown. The question marks no alternative path and gives no safe depth.
Correct answer: Turn around and choose a safe alternative route.
Why
Do not enter an uncertain flooded roadway. Turn around and use a safe route. Water can hide a washed-out surface and can move a vehicle; familiar surroundings or another driver’s crossing do not establish safety.
