Driving through wet conditions, puddles, or deep water can make your brakes excessively wet, impacting your braking ability. If your brakes are wet after going through a puddle, you can help dry them by driving slowly and gently pressing on the brakes. Avoid slamming on them.
Driving through deep water with your vehicle can be dangerous to you and your vehicle for several reasons, so you should avoid this whenever possible. You should always check your brakes after driving through substantial water.
