New Delhi: It is raining heavily all over the country nowadays and people driving in such weather need to be more careful on the road. If you get stuck while driving in an area where the road ahead is full of rain water, then it is better to return in such a situation but if you still want to safely remove your vehicle from such a path. And so today we are going to tell you some similar driving tips and tricks that can help you get out of such a situation. Keep in mind that driving in water should be avoided as much as possible, but still follow these tips for any such emergency.
Drive in the middle
If you have to drive on a flooded or waterlogged road, then you should forget the lane and call the car in the middle of the road because it is here that the least amount of water collects.
Drive with other cars
Taking care of other vehicles as well, it is safer for you to make a single lane behind the vehicle in front of you rather than running at the same level as the other vehicle, this helps your vehicle to make grip on the road.
Cross only when the water is low
Even just 15 cm of water accumulated on the road can reduce your control over your vehicle, so do not try to do it on deeper water at all.
Slow down the car
Do not drive fast on waterlogged roads. If you have to cross the water filled on the road, then keep your speed only 1-2 km and after coming out of the water, drive at the speed of 7-8 km to save your engine from the water.
Drive in low gear
In such a situation, drive in low gear for the safety of your car, while driving an automatic car, keep the speed low to stay in first or second gear.
Dry the brake
Use light brakes while driving at low speed after coming out of the water, which makes it easier for your brakes to dry out to avoid slips.
