musajohn80: The use of granite is a very good one...it helped me after spending 2 hours with about 10 men trying to push out my car. A guy walked in and said the people were too much for the job! He suggested we use granite; and that was the perfect solution that day.

why do the car manufacturers make the cars this way?

the one with the good firm grip stands idly while the one with very poor traction being stuck on the mud spins furiously to no avail.

Excelboi: The day I was driving along a street with my friend, just as I was about to reverse, the car stuck on a very soft sand, not mud this time. I tried to accelerate with full force but unknown to me I was worsening the matter. I stood there for up to an hour until an idea came to me.

All I did was to use the car jack, raised it up abovve the ground, look for some plank and stone and placed it where the tyres got shrunked. I jacked it back down, start the car and reversed with some force, that was how I was saved from that incident. Kai, I was so confused oh, thank God for my brain, lol.

Because vehicles have differential, most of the open type.

If both wheels were locked to rotate at the same rate, think how a vehicle would handle when taking a turn. Wheels rotate at different speeds when turning a corner, with the inside wheel covering less distance.

If this were not the case, both tyres would be forced to rotate at the same speed when turning, causing tyre wear, high fuel consumption due to the increased friction and of course, strain on the differential crownwheel and pinion.

The only way past this is AWD, LSD or EDL. Still, this is a different topic altogether.

Solicit for help from passer-by or community members or fellow motorist/car drivers to help push the car backward while you switch the hand brake to R and gradually maneuver your way out of the mud using the Reverse. It's a rampant scenario mostly during the rainy season in Nigeria due to bad/untarred roads.

Hmmm sorry but unless you drove into water more than 2 inches deep ( which can float a car if the current is stong enough ) or you already have sever damage to your engine, steep inclined will not flood your engine. Driving through deep water while stupid stalls out a car via blocking the air intake not the exhaust.

Nice piece.

Reminds me of a bitter and sad incident that happened to me on Jan 29th 2011. If anyone is familiar with Lekki-Ajah way, he'll know that there is a portion of that road where beach sand is being used as the median. I missed my route along that road that sad day and i didn't feel up to travelling some 1km just to make a u-turn and then start heading back all the way. I thought of the fuel, time and effort i was going to waste by doing so and decided to make a u-turn where the beach sand was used as the mediean. My tyres got stuck and instead of me to ask a couple of guys to assist me in pushing the car out of there, I raced the car and omo, my shaft scatter. My gear box sef scatter. Cost me about 120k to fix the fault including towing cahrges.

If only i had read this article on or before the 29th Jan 2011, i might not have incurred that annoying cost. Cursed be that day!

I see. Isn't it possible then to reduce the differential between the tyres, i.e if one wheel spins faster and faster, far more than would be needed to negotiate a turn, some power should be transferred to the other tyre rather than it remaining completely stationary?
