How to Drive Through Water Clogged Areas

How to Drive through Water Clogged Areas
It's raining cats and dogs this year. Potholes, flooding and puddles make our travelling far worse than we can imagine. But there are ways to keep yourself and your car safe in this stormy season.
Firstly, avoid flooded routes as much as you can but if you can't do that, then do this:
1. Watch what you're getting into

Slow down your speed. The only thing that you do not want to lose right now is the steering control. Driving at high speed can cause skidding. So remember, slow down

2. Learn from others mistakes
Watch other vehicle as they move into the water to know what is happening. After looking at them it won't take a rocket scientist to figure out how shallow or deep that water is.
3. Keep a steady pace
Do not lose momentum. Keep a steady pace. Drive slow and your car might break down in the middle of the pool, and going too fast might cause aquaplaning.
4. Watch out for debris

It's hard to see them, but good to keep a look out for them anyway. Any sharp object might harm your tires.

5. Test Your Brakes
Once you are out of water, check whether your brakes are working fine. They would require some time to function properly if you've just driven over a water clogged road.
Follow these simple steps to stay safe. Life is not a race, especially when it's raining.
