Correct answer
Stop in a permitted, safe place without flood risk, signalling as required.
Slow down smoothly and seek a permitted, safe place to stop away from traffic and without flood risk. Do not stop on the carriageway for convenience or try crossing water of unknown depth. Use appropriate lights, demist the windows and adjust wiper speed to rain intensity, rather than insisting on the slowest setting. Signal immobilisation with hazard warning lights and, where applicable, position lights when visibility requires it.
