Practice question

Why should a driver perform a low-speed brake test after driving through deep water puddles or flooded stream crossings?

  1. Water on brake drum/disc linings reduces friction; gentle braking dries out brake pads and restores stopping power
  2. Water in brakes increases tyre pressure dangerously
  3. To check if the speedometer fuse was blown by water
  4. Brake testing after water crossings is necessary only for heavy trucks

Answer: A — Water on brake drum/disc linings reduces friction; gentle braking dries out brake pads and restores stopping power
