Rockhampton District Duty Officer Senior Sergeant David Bletchly said driving through flood waters is never acceptable.
"Flooding can happen anywhere, anytime and even the smallest amount of water on the road can lead to dangerous consequences," Senior Sergeant Bletchly said.
"It may look safe to cross, but water levels can rise rapidly.
"We urge all motorists to drive to the conditions, never drive, walk, or swim through floodwater and remember, if it's flooded, forget It."
