BDifficulty 2/5

If conditions allow safe passage through a shallow puddle, why should you reduce speed before reaching it?

Correct answer

To reduce the risk of losing grip and reduce splashing.

Reducing speed can lower the risk of losing grip or stability and reduce splashing, but does not guarantee preventing aquaplaning. Water depth, tyres and speed matter. Do not enter a flooded area or water of unknown depth, or make a dangerous manoeuvre to avoid water.
