Question 6649
After driving through a puddle, what should you check first?
- That the steering is working.
- That the shock absorbers are working.
- That the brakes are working.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the brakes are working.
Check the brakes first, because driving through water makes them wet and less effective. Make sure no one is following closely behind, then gently press the pedal several times to dry them. In the image, the car drives through a puddle and throws up water.
