StayAwayfrom Flooded Roads!
As heavy rains and rising water levels affect many parts of Sri Lanka, road safety is more critical than ever. At New Jayasekara Auto Motors (Pvt) Ltd, we’re urging all drivers to stay alert and avoid driving through flooded roads during this dangerous weather.
Even what appears to be shallow water can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation for both you and your vehicle.
Flood Facts Every Driver Should Know:
- Just 6 inches of water can cause a vehicle to lose control or stall
- 1 foot of water can carry away most vehicles — including SUVs
- If water reaches your car’s door level, it’s already the danger zone
- Floodwaters may conceal open drains, debris, or sinkholes
🚨 CAR DOOR LEVEL = DANGER LEVEL = WATER LEVEL
If you encounter a flooded road:
Turn around. Don’t try to cross.
