Depending on how I'm feeling on any given day, I may or may not take the suspension bridge I mentioned in my post - it's very narrow and there's just no place to pull over if a car problem suddenly occurs - and when it does, the bridge is backed up for hours on end. Thanks for the reminder about the Emergency Hammer! Melissa: We have flooding here that is unbelievable at times - just last month it was so bad the area was declared a disaster by the Governor and the President. I agree - people should never, ever attempt to drive through flooded areas! Amy: I agree! Trying to remain calm is probably the one thing that will really help save lives the most. It;s hard to think clearly when we panic - epsecially when kids are involved. Stay safe! :) Hi Lucy: Check out the Emergency Tool that Sativa recommended. It's probably much safer than a brick! ;) http://www.lifehammer.com/ Hi Sativa: There are some bridges that really give me anxiety, so I can sympathise.

My immediate reaction in situations like this is to FREAK OUT, so I really need all the help I can get. ;) Lol, maybe I should keep a brick in the glove compartment or something! =D Or better yet get a boat-car or an aquada! ~Lucy D =) Thanks for the great advice!

Here in Arizona, during the monsoon season, our usually dry creek beds can quickly become inundated with floodwater. We now have a "stupid motorist law" for people who cross these washes. These tips could definitely save some lives! Great advice! Here in Arizona, during the monsoon season, our usually dry creek beds can quickly become inundated with floodwater.

I HAVE A MASSIVE FEAR OF GOING OFF A BRIDGE. ONES THAT ARE REALLY HIGH & LONG GIVE ME ANXIETY ATTACKS. ALSO, I HAVE ONE OF THOSE LITTLE CAR TOOL THINGS THAT IS SUPPOSE TO ENABLE YOU TO BREAK OUT A WINDOW EASY, AND CUT YOUR SEAT BELT, IF NEEDED. OF COURSE, HOW WELL IT WORKS REMAINS TO BE SEEN... HOPEFULLY, I'LL NEVER HAVE TO FIND OUT. GREAT POST!
