Explanation
When encountering a flooded roadway, the safest thing to do is turn around and find another route. Driving through flooded areas can be extremely dangerous as it's difficult to determine the depth of the water and the condition of the road underneath. Additionally, moving water can sweep vehicles away and cause accidents.
