Driving Through Flowing Water

CAUTION:

Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces. 
If you try to drive through flowing water, as you
might at a low water crossing, your vehicle can 
be carried away. As little as six inches of flowing
water can carry away a smaller vehicle. If this
happens, you and other vehicle occupants could
drown. Don’t ignore police warning signs, and
otherwise be very cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.

Some Other Rainy Weather Tips

D

Besides slowing down, allow some extra following
distance. And be especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room
ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted
by road spray.

D

Have good tires with proper tread depth. 
(See “Tires” in the Index.)

City Driving

One of the biggest problems with city streets is the
amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for
what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to
traffic signals.
