Question 1417 · Safety · Licence classes: A, B, C1, C, D, T
What is a driver required to do after crossing a flooded road section?
- Stop at the side of the road and wait until the braking system dries up completely.
- Make a strong and sudden brake and check if the brakes are responding.
- Correct answer: Drive slowly and press gently and intermittently on the brake pedal, to ensure that the brakes function properly.
- Continue driving normally, because there is no connection between water and the braking system’s efficiency.
WhyAfter driving through water, go slowly and press the brake gently from time to time until the brakes dry and work normally. Hard braking to test them is dangerous.
