Question 2757
After driving your passenger car through a large puddle, what should you check first?
- The brakes.
- The condition of the engine.
- The level of the oil in the oil pan.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The brakes.
Water can wet the brakes and reduce their effectiveness, so you must first check their response. If it is safe, gently pressing the pedal a few times helps dry them.
