Class 1 Practice

#1. How should you drive through a large amount of water on the roadway?

Apply a slight constant pressure to the brake pedal.

Pump the brakes.

Speed up to get through it as fast as possible.

Shift into low gear and avoid the brakes.

If you must drive through water, slow down and place a slight drag (that is, apply a slight constant pressure) on the brakes while you drive through the water. The slight drag placed on the brakes will reduce the amount of water and other contaminants that enter the brake drums and shoes.
