    An adult should know you cannot take a passenger vehicle into deep water; if you do, it's best to take it slowly. Occasionally, in the outback where the wife and I reside, flood waters overcome the roads. Even with an F-350 SuperDuty Diesel lifted 6" rolling on 37's, I take it slowly and occasionally find an alternate way to get home rather than risk destroying my truck...

    There is only one general rule when overcoming a water obstacle. SLOWLY!! Not only because quickly means that water will get into the air intake system and the inside engine. You can't see where the road is, you don't know what's under the water, whether the strong current of water has destroyed the road. Even if you know this road because you have been driving it every day for several dozen years. You don't know what's under the water, so you drive SLOWLY. There is a proverb. "The slower you go, the further you go..."

    People should be made to show they know where and what the air intake of the car is before taking their test and told it is consuming in the order of 1000 times the air the driver consumes per minute. 6 litres as against 6,000+ litres per minute. Check the numbers yourself which vary with revs and cc but the air used by an engine is prodigious and not going too work well with the front piled with water. In fact part of the test should be opening the bonnet and showing what the consumables are needing replenishing if low would be a good idea if not done already. Any sign of hydrolock best to switch off and wait for a tow. There is a youtube strip down of an engine that ran for a few weeks until a bent con rod finally gave way and the valves were leaking with bent stems . Many of the vehicles inundated in the mad rush to get through though driving away seemingly OK are likely to be compromised to some degree. Rufford Ford is a good example of that with its long straight to a bend where some cars can manage a long stint but fail before the corner.
