Road Spray from moving 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 5HS Phev CVT SUV electric car driving on flooded roads in Tarleton, Lancashire, UK. UK Weather. Flooding after Torrential Rain making difficult for driving conditions. After a heavy downpour, visibility was extremely limited, with puddles, surface water and a risk of aquaplaning, with a consequential loss of traction and steering response.
A flooded road may not seem that dangerous, but you’d be surprised at just how little water it takes to cause big problems, especially if that water is moving. According to the AA: • Just 25ml of water in your engine can cause permanent damage • Just 6” of moving water can knock you off your feet • Just 12” of moving water can move your car • Just 2ft of moving water can float your car away completely Shockingly, in a third of all UK drowning deaths, the victim is in their car.
