Explanation
When driving through a flooded area, a motorist should drive carefully, always keep a larger distance from the vehicle in front and maintain a speed consistent with the road conditions. With conventional disc and drum brakes, a motorist should pump them gently after driving through water to test them and dry them out. If the brakes are hit hard, they could lock up.
