Driving Schools in Fauquier County

If you see deep water on the roadway, do not attempt to drive through. Turn around or take another road.
In an emergency situation, however, your car might get into deep water. Act quickly if you drive or plunge into deep water. A car often will float for just a few minutes. The engine end of your car is heavier and might sink first.

Take these actions if your car goes into deep water:

1. Unfasten your safety belt. Check your passengers, and have them unfasten theirs.

2. Open the window that is farthest out of the water. Power windows might short circuit in the water, so open these windows immediately.

3. Exit promptly through the open window.

If the window will not open, exit through a door. Do not panic if the door is slow to open. Pressure will equalize water from outside the door enters your car. You then can open the door.
When your car is underwater, some air will be trapped for a brief time toward the highest point of the car. Try to get a full breath or tow of air while locating a window or door that is facing up. Open the window or door and leave your car.

If you become trapped in your car underwater, use something heavy to break your widow and get out of the car. Also, turn on your headlights. This step can help rescuers find your car more quickly. Also, unfasten safety belts to better prepare for rescue.
