Why should you avoid driving through deep water?

701. Why should you avoid driving through deep water?

Water causes the tyres to lose air pressure.
✓ It can damage your vehicle or make you lose control.
Increase speed to maintain full control through the water.
Driving through deep water is always prohibited.

Deep water can damage the engine, reduce braking ability, hide hazards, or cause the vehicle to lose grip. Reduce speed, assess the depth and conditions carefully, and avoid entering the water if you are unsure it is safe. If necessary, stop and use another route.
