The driver believed that he (or she) could safely drive through a flooded bridge underpass. ______________ Think you can drive through flood waters? Think again Here are some flooding facts and some tips on what to do if you find yourself faced with this frightening highway hazard while behind the wheel. Don't drive into a flooded area if you can avoid it When approaching a flooded area, you can't be sure of the depth of the water or the condition of the road beneath it, which may be broken up or washed away. Worst case, there may be no road left under the water. Just 15 cm (6 inches) of standing water -- sometimes less -- can be enough to cause engine stalling. Your engine can suffer serious and expensive damage if it ingests water. And you'll be stranded. In approximately 30 cm (1 foot) of water, a typical car can begin to float and, as traction is lost, so is steering control. If the water is moving, your vehicle could literally float away. At 60 cm (two feet) of water, even larger vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs are in danger of floating away. NEVER try driving through fast-moving water, such as an overflowing river, as your vehicle could be swept away. As a rule of thumb, don't drive into water that's too deep to see the painted markings on the road.
