After water exposure, your brakes may be wet. You are in a clear, safe place at low speed. What should you do before resuming normal travel?
Correct answer: Test gently and use light braking over a short distance to dry them
Why
Wet brakes can pull to one side or fail to respond normally. In a safe place, test them at low speed and apply them lightly over a short distance to help dry them. If safe braking does not return, stop and get help. This recovery advice is not permission to drive through a flooded roadway.
