How to Drive a "City Pool"

Driving and swimming are two of the best sports I can do (if you drive, you can count sports and cough); but what I fear most is "drive swimming." I tell you quietly that most of the time I drive is full of confidence. There are only two exceptions: one is muddy and the other is over water. Because I know very well that these two situations are very cumbersome and even cost a lot. So every time I drove “swimming”, I was really scared and soft, and I was talking about Amitabha in my mouth...



But in this magical country, "drive swimming" is almost a required course for every driver. Why does our city become a "swimming pool" when it comes to heavy rain? It is all about tears. Don't go deeper, or learn to survive. Two days ago, there was a heavy rainstorm in the early morning peaks in Guangzhou. The “pool” was opened on schedule, and I was able to share my experiences and thoughts during the “swimming”.

First of all, the first thing to drive out on a rainy day is to open the mobile map to see real-time road conditions and avoid traffic jams. Not only to avoid traffic jams, but also because of the heavy rain, the road sections with traffic jams are often roads with accumulated water. The unimpeded road shows that even if there is stagnant water, it does not affect traffic.

Then you are ready to fight with stagnant water.

Look at the terrain of the road first. If it is a sloping road, it must be on the high side.



Sekisui is currently looking for references to determine the depth. Roadside teeth and flowers are very good. If you see the teeth of the road surface, the general problem is not great. However, if the water has flooded the road teeth and only shows greenery, then do not try it (below).



If there is another way to go, avoid water as much as possible. For example, in the following figure, the turning lane is filled with water. Although you can still see the teeth of the road, you can judge that the water is not very deep, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a well covered. I'd rather go straight and drive around and be safe.



Another thing to do is to find some reference cars to follow and watch the state of the bottom of the car and the wheels when it crosses the water. At this time, the higher the car is, the more emboldened it is. For example, when I was driving BRZ, I was very hard to find this Audi A5 to follow (below). It can be a puddle that I can pass. I'm sure I can. This time there is an advantage to open the SUV, just find a car with the line.




When encountering a large area of ​​pool, be sure to think twice before proceeding. If there are other cars passing, observe the depth of “tire” of the tires as they pass. If you see that there are already stalled vehicles in the roadside water, unless you open a Land Cruiser or Land Rover type of "Taiku" car, I tend to suggest parking, U-turns, and detours. Although this will cost a lot of time, if the water goes out and the car goes out of steam, the engine needs to be overhauled, and the time and money will be even more severe.



Also don't patronize yourself. Driving over water depends on pedestrians and motorcycles to avoid splashing water.

Slow drowning, fast flushing sand, this term of the off-road sector is justified. Slow trickle water is not to provoke a splash of water, as calm as possible to avoid the water, so as to avoid splashing the other parts of the engine compartment of the car, and will not be blocked by the water.



Some people may be ignorant, thinking that they need to increase the throttle to rush through opportunities, or they think that flushing is very cool... In fact, doing so is tantamount to self-mutilation: once the water is very powerful, it is very easy to damage the body when rushing into the water at high speed. (Tightened plates can be flushed off); second, the splashes may cause wet electrical damage to the otherwise unnecessary electrical components and may reach other over-water vehicles in the pool. For example, some carts, always taking advantage of themselves, are not afraid of stagnant water, and they speed up from the side of the car that is drowning. As a result, the car that was originally able to survive in deep water has been flooded into the engine and turned off. This kind of car that cares only about one's own disregard for others is very unethical.
