Driving a flooded street

Is left foot braking ok in a flood?

I gotta admit, this I haven't tried.

It's useless to do it while the brakes are still underwater. As the flood gets shallower, you can start riding the brakes to dry it. But when you do, use just the tip of your left foot (short of saying, just use one toe) to apply the brakes while the right foot controls the gas pedal to keep you moving constantly. Using just the tip of your foot will help regulate the force so the car won't end up jolting to a stop. Remember that the left foot is accustomed to stepping on the clutch pedal so there's a very big possibility for you to overdo it on the brake pedal.

It'll take a bit of mind-foot coordination but you'll eventually get the hang of it. As soon as you sense a bit of grit from the brakes, you can let go and use it normally.

As always, keep reasonable distance with the car in front of you.

It is okay, for as long as you are comfortable with it.... It's a different feeling, though....

This is how I heat/dry the brakes....

Marami na akong kilala, iniwan nalang sa office yung mga kotse nila tapos nag tiis nalang to commute home. And it turned out to be a good decision for several as nalubog din yung mga "high ground" parking nila near their residences.
