Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won't work as well in a quick stopand may cause pulling to one side. You could lose control the vehicle. of After driving through a large puddle water or of a car wash,apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally. Driving too fast through large water puddles even or going through somecar washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can't, try to slow down beforeyou hit them. 4-18
