Baha: To cross or not to cross ??

[rayana]

Since tag-ulan na...siguradong baha season na naman.

Pag may naabutan kyong kalsadang may tubig/baha, anong mga rule-of-thumb nyo kung sasagasaan nyo yung baha or mag wait kyong mag subside? Any difference ba kung AT/MT ? kung EFI/Carburated ??

If i can't turn back and need to go, i wait for someone to go in first. :D

As much as possible, i avoid having to pass the baha (even if i drive a pick-up most of the time).

I just rev a bit while going through and just go slowly... afterwards, i ride on the brakes while driving to dry it off.

rule of thumb ko is my Stepboard kapag lubog na..atras na.
nga pala my pickup is lifted by 2 inches.
mas ok ang AT, on MT, when wading on floodwaters be sure not to apply the clutch a wet clutch is a bi*#$tch be sure to shift fast if needed

Yup, if you commit don't stop. Its either you go or not, if you have 2nd thoughts then wait for it to subside.

for me.. tignan ko n muna kung may nakadaan. pag meron at safe naman yung baha. dadaan talaga ako. pero pag alanganin.. isip isip na muna... hirap na din..

Advice sa akin, when crossing a flooded road, always follow the wake created by the vehicle in front of you. Don't allow the water to "regroup" before you get to pass. If the road is sloping sideways, always stay on the left shoulder which is usually the highest point; you may not be able to see potholes, open manholes and other hazards on the road if you stay where the water is deeper.

And try not to stall the engine, regardless of whether it's a gas or diesel. :D

I usually engage my handbrake kung may baha. Naranasan ko na ang basang brake and di sya nakakatuwa lalo na AT kotse ko. Medyo malangis pa yong tubig dahil malapit sa mga car repair shops.
