What should drivers do after exiting a ford?

Speed up to continue driving quickly
Test the brakes afterwards
Change the driving gear to high
Ignore the brakes if they feel fine

The correct answer is: Test the brakes afterwards

Testing the brakes after exiting a ford is crucial because fords are often flooded areas that can soak the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. Water can penetrate the brake components, potentially leading to decreased braking performance. By gently testing the brakes—applying them lightly to ensure they are functioning properly—drivers can identify any loss of braking efficiency before continuing at normal speeds. This practice enhances safety by ensuring that the vehicle will respond appropriately when the driver needs to stop or slow down, particularly in potentially hazardous situations that may arise after navigating through water.
