Q #258 - You've just gone through deep water. What should you do to make sure your brakes are working properly?
Water on the brakes will act as a lubricant, causing them to work less efficiently. Using the brakes lightly as you go along will quickly dry them out.
| Accelerate and keep to a high speed for a short time | |
| Go slowly while gently applying the brakes | |
| Avoid using the brakes at all for a few miles | |
| Stop for at least an hour to allow them time to dry |
