Great tips . You never know what may happen during any season with the weather , three years ago i found myself driving after a hurricane and the car behind me stalled out , i had no choice but to drive ahead , i had just bought my four wheel drive dodge truck two weeks before and was pushing through the water like a barge . The water was three and a half foot deep with the truck standing still , and when driving through it the side wakes of water were pushing four and a half feet high .
