Question 1690 in the bank

What shoukd a driver check after driving through deep water on the road?

  1. Correct answer: If the brakes work efficiently.
  2. If the lights work.
  3. If the engine works.
  4. No need of any of the cheks.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: If the brakes work efficiently.

Driving through deep water soaks the brake components, and water between the pads and the discs or drums reduces braking efficiency. So check right away, at low speed and safely, that the brakes work efficiently. Pressing the brake pedal lightly several times while driving creates heat that dries the parts until normal braking returns.
