Baha: To cross or not to cross ??

[caloyski5]

Yes you can cross flood in 1500rpm. Really depends on the situation say you need to put higher rpms in situations that arises. You can play your rpm by tipping in/out your accelerator and not stepping on your clutch. For sudden stop, of course you need to shift to neutral in order for you not to stall. Shifting quickly or avoiding the use of clutch is a must.

Remember, "As slow as possible as fast as necessary"

ito rin turo samin sa zuk club

Ako, madalas nag-hahanap ng side-streets. Di bale malayo ang ikutin.

However, kung walang side streets na pwedeng ikutan, hindi ako lulusong kapag yung water level eh 1/2 or 3/4 na ng tyre and wheel height ko.

Pero, kapag lumulusing ako, I try to maintain my engine RPM anywhere between 1500-1600. Dehins tapak sa clutch dahil papasukin ng tubig. I maintain a 3x car length distance between my car and the vehicle in front of me. Gears, mostly at 1st (sometimes 2nd when necessary). If I can help it, I don't stop.

Kinabukasan, I have my vehicle serviced. Minsan, ako na ang gumagawa. I open the brakes, check them and dry them myself.

Pero what do you do in situations like this:

a.) You have a vehicle in front of you that either stops or stalls and you just have a 1x car length distance.
b.) A big bus or truck comes raging past you, and creates waves that laps up to the door handles.
c.) A person, tricycle or bike crosses in front of you and you have to stop.

medyo nag-re-rev ago bago lumusong sa baha .. pampalakas loob ..

avoid shifting while crossing the flood. just maintain a constant rpm, who cares if youre moving at 10 kph hehe

b.) A big bus or truck comes raging past you, and creates waves that laps up to the door handles.

pag ganyan wala ka din namang magagawa eh. just chug along nalang ...

on a related note ... nakakainis ung mga SUV's pag may baha! oo na kayang-kaya nilang lumusong sa baha pero do they really have to pass near you at speeds na ung bow wave nila eh nasa pinto mo na? konting malasakit naman saming nakakotse lang.

mikaztro kulet! :D

i'm not arguing with you, i just said item #3 in your post does not apply if the fan blades are electric motor driven. kulet!

in fact i'll even agree with you o! if the fan is driven by a belt then hitting the water at high engine speed (or rpm, kulet!) could bend or even shatter the fan blades. kulet!

isa pa! kulet! :D

A couple of years ago along Timog Ave., Heavy rains for about 2 - 3 hours straight transfered timog ave into a small river with cars floating (those unfortunate enough to be parked near the street). Out of nowhere a Tamaraw FX bravely forged thru the waist deep flood and made it...palakpakan mga tao, while an Expedition stalled (guess what he stopped in the middle near the deepest part )
