You should avoid driving through deep puddles or flowing water. But if you must, which of these steps can help to keep your brakes working?

Question

Accepted Answer

C: Gently putting on the brakes while driving through the water.. Avoid driving through deep water whenever possible. If you find it necessary to continue, lightly apply the brakes so that the brake shoes or pads will just touch the drums or rotors to prevent water, sand, and debris from getting between the shoes/pads and the drums/rotors.
