Question

1. after driving through a deep puddle, you should:

a) check your lights
b) increase your speed to the posted limit
c) test your brakes
d) stop and check your vehicle

Explanation:

When driving through a deep puddle, water can get on the brakes. Testing the brakes helps to dry them out (by generating heat through light braking) and ensure they are still functioning properly. Checking lights (A) is not the most immediate concern related to driving through a puddle. Increasing speed (B) is not a safe action as the road may still be slippery. Stopping to check the vehicle (D) is not necessary if a simple brake - test (a quick, light application of brakes while moving slowly) can suffice to assess brake functionality.

Answer:

C. Test your brakes
