follow the car in-front, the bow-wave is reduced to half, but follow a knuckle head cause if he pissed in half way, you are gone with him
use hand brake for stopping / controlling cause a backfire can cause the exhaust to suck in some water that's why its said to keep the revs a bit high, dont park your car in Pakistan and walk cause you wont be getting it back afterwards, its better to drive a stinky car than not having a car at all, I have myself tried these combinations many times and usually i Unplug the automatic fan electric connector before making a stunt, turn the AC off cause the fan can throw water on the wires and car can break just cause of that. You can also try removing the inlet pipe cause its usually high than the routed intake and go for it.
This is my experience of years of journeys in Central punjab and surroundings, but i never try this in moving water.
