askST: What should I do if my car is caught in a flooded carpark?

leaving vehicles submerged in knee-deep waters. The Straits Times answers some questions about what a driver can to do if his car is caught in a flooded carpark.A spokesperson for the Automobile Association of Singapore said motorists should avoid driving through flood waters higher than 15cm – slightly above ankle height – as the car may stall, and the water could cause damage to the engine and electronics.

“It is safer to wait for professional assistance or until the water level has significantly decreased before attempting to start the engine or move the vehicle. If the car is stranded in a flooded area, prioritise personal safety and seek help from emergency services or professional tow services,” the spokesperson said.

Otherwise, the car owners will have to wait for the claims against the condominium to be successful before repairing their vehicles. But Mr Chia from Eazy said vehicle owners should explain to their insurer that the claim is not due to their negligence. “There are insurers who would understand the owner’s predicament and not penalise them during policy renewal,” he said.
