October 18th, 2006 06:32 PM #271just to share an experience of mine:
i was in a road somewhere in batangas and there was a slight drizzle and there was dirt and mud on the road surface. I was driving a lancer and was running 50-60kph when suddenly i felt like the car was floating. so what i did was just step off the gas and keep the steering wheel straight until i felt traction again. the whole event took 10-15 secs.
nakakatakot lang yung 15 secs na yun kase baka biglang may tumawid or something.

Driving at 80kmh after a rainshower, knowing that the roads are wet and slippery is never a smart thing to do.
Re: this Deakin guy and blaming the PNCC, I remember an article he wrote wherein his brother accidentally ran over a puddle, splashing another motorist driving a Kia who had his windows open. Naturally, the guy was pissed and ran after Deakin's brother, who didn't even stop and apologize. The brother rationalized that he didn't stop as the other driver was raging like hell, and said he would have done the right thing if that wasn't the case. (Yeah, right!) Ang ending, hindi naabutan ng Kia yung kapatid, at obviously nagsumbong kay Kuya. Eto namang si Deakin, sinisi pa yung driver and even blamed his "genetically-deficient asset" for the Kia guy's seething behavior. Talk about abuse of power! Eh kahit sino naman, basta natalsikan ng putik sa mukha eh magagalit! Tapos tatakbuhan ka pa. Reading his column above makes me think twice about his motives. Obvious talaga na may bias.

ive read the article. natatawa lang ako at naging kasalanan pa ng PNCC. i wont be surprise baka sa susunod kasalanan na nung NAMATAY...kase naman bakit sila nagco-commute sa ilalim ng skyway...eh kahit anong oras pwedeng may magskid na Toyota Fortuner na hindi naman mabilis ang takbo, na pure accident lang, na naghydroplane at nakabangga ng Isuzu Trooper kaya tuloy sya nabagsakan!!! tsk...tsk...
peace :peace:
To determine the ideal speed, the formula is nine times the square root of the tire’s PSI in miles per hour. Say your tires are inflated to 32PSI. The square root would be 5.66. Multiply that by nine.

this is the very first time james deakin disappointed me in his column, his points are very clear, but it was bias, aquaplaning can even happen with a combination of a slight drizzle and dust from the road, to me, mr. quintal is not speeding, but he was fast for the road and weather condition. james deakin should've stuck to his usual writing work and avoided touching this issue. im very disappointed.

October 18th, 2006 10:14 PM #275so a 4WD, will just automatically spin around if it aquaplanes? even without braking or turning the steering wheel?

the formula posted is just an ideal one. it still depends on a lot of other factors, so for me, the end result ng equation is the maximum you could go, pushing the envelope kumbaga, before aquaplaning.
in the real world, sh1t happens for less than you'd think.

hirap naman niyan, doing math while driving. baka sa sobrang concentration sa pag-compute, lalo akong maaksidente :rofl01:
