Question 1006 in the bank

How should one drive on a flooded road?

  1. Drive fast on high gear.
  2. Correct answer: Drive slowly in low gear.
  3. Drive fast on low gear.
  4. Drive slowly on high gear.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Drive slowly in low gear.

On a flooded road, shift to a low gear and drive slowly. A low gear keeps engine power steady and helps the vehicle move forward without stalling. Driving slowly reduces water splashing onto the engine and the electrical systems. It also gives you better control of the vehicle and time to react to obstacles hidden under the water.
