Driving too fast through large water puddles
or
even
going
through some car washes can cause problems, too.
The water
may
affect
your brakes.
Try
to
avoid
puddles.
But
if
you
can’t,
try
to
slow down before
you
hit
them.
Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work
as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to
one side. You could lose control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle
of
water or
a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until
your brakes work normally.
