What is a driver required to do after crossing a flooded road section?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- 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.
- 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.
