Driving through water can lead to several hazards, including loss of vehicle control, engine damage, and electrical system failures. Water can enter the engine or exhaust systems, potentially causing hydro-lock, which can severely damage the engine. Additionally, driving through deep water can lead to the vehicle being swept away or becoming submerged, posing a significant safety risk to the occupants. It's essential to avoid driving through flooded areas whenever possible.
