Driving a flooded street

[niky]

Hindi pinasok interior?

Would like to add driving ethics sana when driving sa flood waters. Sana slow down as not to create a big wave that will throw pedestrians off balance.

It takes a which for water to seep in. If the crossing is only a minute or two, should be no problem.

But even with a snorkel, you're not invulnerable. Since the interior is full of air, fast moving water can pick up your SUV and toss it sideways. It pays to pick your battles wisely when crossing water.

Whether you're in a sedan or SUV, this applies to all. If you can avoid, avoid.

Also, always scope out the flood before entering. You can do this by looking at the flood height relative to structures on the road and cars that have gone in before you. It's hard to make a U-turn in a flooded street.

Or, divert....

Yesterday, there was a line of southbound vehicles in C5, which counterflowed, using the innermost lane of the northbound road. Saw them when I was entering C5 southbound near the Heritage Park....

Baha kasi sa C5 sa may tapat ng Market Market.... ...

Hindi ko malaman kung saan sila nakakita ng break sa middle island ng C5....

+1. last monday night muntik na akong lumusong sa waist deep flood sa side street sa Mapaya Village to Luzon Ave., and dilim pa naman at wala akong kasabay. Buti na lang may nakita ako sa far end ng road na lalake na tumatawid. dapat igauge talaga ang depth ng water before crossing.

When in doubt of the depth of flooded streets, best to be patient and wait for opportunity to see how deep the waters are before committing your car into the waters.

battery, starter, plugs, fuses, air filter, or everything... water causes rust, corrosion, and so much more... good luck fixing that flooded car, or see if insurance covers it.

Sirs, additional tips pag tatawid sa baha? Tinatawid ko na pag hindi aabot sa bumper. Pinapatay ko airconditioner tapos 1 car distance at first gear lang ako. Tama ba mga sir? Mahirap umiwas sa baha lalo na pag bumubusina yung mga nasa likod.

Wag tatapak sa clutch pedal while traversing flood. Maintain the rpm and speed. Make sure na wala ka sinusundan para hindi mo kailangan tumigil sa baha.. kasi pag tumigil ka.. malamang game over na

Applicable ba ito kung hindi abot exhaust mo? Or maapektuhan ba long term yung transmission kung napa clutch ka sa baha pero d ka tumirik?

If you traversed in flood not more than half the height of your wheels, the vehicle will be fine ...

my personal basic rule (MT) only, as long as hindi malubog sa tubig yung starter... I'm fine...

[Nicardo8]

it's a great experience ever. How did you map the road and drive?
