Question: After driving through deep water you should:

Answer options:

  • Drive normally ✅ Test the brakes gently — they may be wet
  • Use cruise control
  • Brake hard once

Correct answer: Test the brakes gently — they may be wet

Explanation: After driving through deep water, you must test your brakes gently because water reduces braking efficiency by lubricating the brake pads. Applying light pressure creates the friction needed to dry them and restore stopping power. Driving normally or using cruise control is dangerous because you might not be able to stop in an emergency. Braking hard once is incorrect as it can lock the wheels and cause a skid on wet pavement. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation emphasizes this rule to prevent post-flood collisions. Expect this question on your G1 exam to test your knowledge of wet-weather vehicle control.
