Driving on Flooded Roads

• Stay in first gear and drive slowly.
• Slip the clutch to keep the engine speed high and avoid stalling.
• If possible, drive in the middle of the road to avoid deeper water near the kerb.
• Once clear of the water, pump the brakes several times to ensure that they are working properly.

Driving in Fog

• Drive slowly and use dipped headlights or fog lights.
• Don´t hang on to the tail lights of the vehicle in front - you may be too close.
• Don´t speed up if it seems to be clearing: fog drifts rapidly and is often patchy.
