During a heavy downpour you approach the entrance of an underpass, and water is rising on the road inside it. What is the most appropriate action?
💡 Hint
In low places such as an underpass, water rises very quickly in a heavy downpour. Do not assume the depth you see now will stay the same, and also think about how stopping your car in the entrance lane would affect other traffic.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Low places such as underpasses can fill with water very quickly in a downpour, trapping cars or stalling engines, so once water starts rising you should not enter but take a detour. The water can deepen quickly, so speeding through or following another car in is dangerous. Stopping in the lane at the entrance blocks traffic and invites a collision.
