Rain has battered our region today, putting areas at risk of flooding.
Here’s some of our top tips to keep you safe.
💧On the road, keep well back from the vehicle in front as the rain and spray from other vehicles makes it difficult to see and be seen.
💧Only drive through water if you know how deep it is. The water is often deeper than it looks and may be moving quite fast. Your vehicle may be swept away or become stranded. Two feet of water will float your car.
💧Drive slowly and steadily to avoid creating a bow wave. Stay in first gear with the engine speed high and drive very slowly keeping your engine revving by slipping the clutch, otherwise water in the exhaust could stall the engine.
