After a heavy storm, you see water flowing across the road ahead. It looks only a few inches deep. What should you do?
Water flows across the road ahead of A after a storm. The pavement beneath the water is hidden.
Correct answer: Turn around and find another route, or wait on higher ground until the water goes down.
Why
Floodwater is more dangerous than it looks. It can hide dips, and moving water can wash away the road surface under it, so you cannot judge the depth or the condition of the road. Take special care at night, when you may not see the water until you are close to it.
