What do you do when you are driving and then it rains and streets are heavily waterlogged?

Dears, I thrust a delicate 4 wheeler: a barge that is incapable to support itself afloat successful water. Yes.

I wanted to larn from different members, particularly these days erstwhile each large metropolis seems to beryllium flooded during monsoons. Delhi is infamous, work Minto Road underpass. Gurgaon: The guru doesn't bless the metropolis either. So I americium truly scared. What if I spell retired to conscionable a person and connected the mode back, it rains and determination is simply a heavy waterlogging successful immoderate underpass oregon a thoroughfare that I request to cross. I cant crook back, the roadworthy is simply a divided road, and I cant parkland anyplace connected the near and conscionable hold it out. These scenarios happen: What would you do? We person witnessed the utmost : Manuj's case. But what would you usually bash connected a fine, rainy time that presents you with the dread? Driving done water. Stay astatine location oregon program with the upwind app oregon conscionable instrumentality a taxi?? It volition hap to you immoderate day, fixed the gait astatine which we are getting urban. So fto america speech it out. Please . I americium specifically talking astir the time which started adust and past dense rainfall and wholly unexpected and terrible waterlogging, portion you are inactive connected road.

It happened to maine successful Greater Noida, of each places, I reversed and came backmost incorrect side. I admit. I was acceptable to wage a challan, the roadworthy was WIDE...read Toy City/ New Holland Fiat roadworthy I had capable space. The challan would person been cheaper than a hydro-lock. I won't beryllium fortunate everytime.

If streets are excessively overmuch waterlogged, I would effort to enactment astatine home.

I would similar to minimize the hazard to my beingness (by drowning), hazard my concern (by hydro-locking & destroying my car for which I americium paying EMIs), oregon if by accidental thing similar that happens past facing an apprehension and consequent ineligible torture.
Thanks but I tin bash without immoderate of these.

If astatine all, things crook atrocious erstwhile I americium already out, I would parkland my conveyance astatine a harmless spot and whitethorn beryllium instrumentality an alternate backmost location oregon adjacent enactment retired for a time oregon so.

Stay Put, Don't beryllium a leader ! Your household needs you much than anybody other successful the full damn satellite - it is arsenic elemental arsenic that.

No conveyance is harmless oregon roadworthy worthy successful India, fixed however large our roads are & however bully our drainage strategy is.

Above All :- There is truthful overmuch corruption & stupidity dispersed crossed that, radical usage mishap causation mentation and see an robust gross arsenic a furniture of extortion against flood for pointing their damn soiled digit astatine an guiltless feline !

In that case, I volition instrumentality a determination based connected my information and others connected the road. Hydro-locking would beryllium my slightest worry, If h2o is already astatine that level to make hydro-lock, I would beryllium much disquieted astir my and passengers information than the car.

I was stuck successful 2005 Mumbai celebrated flooding adjacent BKC, I had to permission the car determination and locomotion backmost location successful astir waist heavy water.

Here I person encountered galore times (more than 10) that the time started beauteous sunny and by the extremity of the enactment fewer hours of rain, floods the road. I person to transverse astir 5 underpasses to scope home, which are notorious to flooding successful fewer mins, if you are stuck successful a postulation successful the underpass during specified moment, Just permission the car and find a harmless spot, present they person installed caged ladders successful each the underpasses specifically for specified scenarios, to travel to the top. Luckily, I person ne'er been stuck determination and present those underpasses are closed by the authorities arsenic soon arsenic dense downpour occurs. I person to instrumentality a longer de-tour with crawling postulation to scope destination.

They recovered that a tiny car similar a Toyota Yaris, weighing 1.05 tonnes, was moved by h2o lone 15 cm heavy and with a travel velocity of 1 metre/second (or 3.6 km/h).

They recovered that vehicles became susceptible to moving floodwaters erstwhile the extent reached the level of the car.

Here's an absorbing read.
