Practice question

What should you do when driving through water on the roadway?

  1. Speed up to minimize water intake
  2. Turn off your engine and coast through
  3. Avoid using the brakes to keep them dry
  4. Lightly apply and place a slight drag on the brakes

Answer: D — Lightly apply and place a slight drag on the brakes

When driving through water on the roadway, it is important to apply the brakes lightly and place a slight drag on them to help dry them off. Speeding up or turning off your engine may cause more water to enter the vehicle, and avoiding using the brakes can lead to them becoming wet and less effective. It is best to maintain a slow and steady speed while driving through water and to lightly apply the brakes as needed.
