After a heavy storm, a large pool of standing water covers the road ahead. You cannot see how deep it is or what is under it. What should you do?
A approaches a large pool of water covering both lanes after a storm. The submerged pavement and depth cannot be seen.
Correct answer: Do not drive into it; turn around and find another route.
Why
Water can hide washed-out pavement and deep holes, and moving water can push a car off the road. Even shallow water can cause hydroplaning or stall the engine. Turning around takes only a few minutes and avoids a serious risk.
