Driving in floods and heavy rain

Please be careful when driving in floods and heavy rain.   We have seen an increase of vehicles with water damage.   The video clip is of a car that was recently taken through Redbournbury Mill ford.  The damage to the engine was  not repairable.

Keep safe!  The AA have given great advice on the link below.

“Even drivers with local knowledge can get caught out in heavy downpours as even the most modern road surface is still susceptible to standing water. This creates a potential aquaplaning hazard as well as significantly reducing visibility. Take it easy through standing water and if the steering does become unresponsive due to the rain, ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually.”  click on the link above to read more…
