A road ahead is covered by a large area of standing floodwater. What should you do?
Floodwater covers the roadway ahead of A. Its depth and condition cannot be judged from the picture.
Correct answer: Choose another route rather than driving through it.
Why
Do not drive through a large body of standing water on the road; find another route to the destination. The surface hides the water's depth, current and possible pavement damage. Turning around to a safe route avoids entering a hazard that cannot be judged reliably from the driver's seat.
