In Lithuanian traffic rules (KET), what dangerous condition can occur when driving at speed into deep standing water on the roadway?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Aquaplaning with loss of steering, and engine hydro-lock
- Step 1: Water accumulation causes the tyres to lift on a water wedge (hydroplaning/aquaplaning) and can suck water into the engine intake. Answer: Aquaplaning with loss of steering, and engine hydro-lock. Why not the others: Drivers must slow down before standing water and maintain a steady low gear.
