Heavy rain leads to flooding on local roads in UK. Would you risk driving through a flooded road?

Would you risk driving through a flooded section of the road?

As some of you probably know recently UK was hit by couple of strong storms which caused some serious flooding. Although some areas of our region were hit quite badly, we hadn’t seen much flooding. That is until couple of days ago when a local road suddenly disappeared underwater as the ponds in the near by park overflowed.

Would you risk and cross this steam? but before doing so here are some things to think about...

*** Never attempt to drive through a flood that you couldn't walk through and be aware that water hides dips in the road. Worse still, there may be no road at all under the water. Flooding can wash away the entire road surface and a significant amount of ground beneath.

*** Just six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars; this depth can cause loss of control or possible stalling as water is sucked into the exhaust or washes into the air intake.

*** Many cars will start to float in as little as one foot of water - this can be extremely dangerous because as the wheels lose grip, you lose control.
