🚗 🌊 Floodwater on the road?
🙅♂️Don't get in over your head.
👨🚒Station Manager Seán Heighton said, "The effects of floodwater can be very serious and entering what looks okay from the surface can have very expensive or even dangerous results."
“Remember, even in relatively shallow water, a strong current can knock over a person or even pick up a car. Not all flood water is still."
Our advice for floodwater on the road:
👀 If you see a flooded road ahead, turn around and find an alternative route.
🌊 Water on the road can be deeper than you think, so don’t try and continue through floodwater.
⛰️ If you can’t go another way, get to higher ground and wait for waters to subside.
🏃 If your car becomes affected by water, consider if it's safe to get out and if you can, climb to higher ground.
🛑 If you drive through any puddle of a significant size, test your brakes as soon as it’s safe to do so.
☎️ In an emergency, always call 999.
