Thumbs up NL...but all these advice depends on the depth of the water. For instance if the water depth is shallow, u might not need to turn off the A/C. However, there are some cars such as the hummer bus that is affected by little depth of water. In any case when driving through a water logged area, for manual cars, its advisable to use a low gear and for auto cars, turtle lightly but steadily...Thanks y'all 1 Like |

I said and I said it Lagos is a crazy place with lots of crazy people. Whenever there is a flood what do normal human beings do? they either evacuate the area, wait to be evacuated, or get a boat. simple . Only in Lagos will a man attempt to drive his car through water like its a speedboat or a submarine |
Re: Tips For Driving Through Lagos Floods by cecegorz(m): 2:24pm On Jun 28, 2012 |
The basic reason why you get your windscreen fogged during rains, causing poor visibility is as a result of temperature difference between the car interior and the atmosphere. Since the atmospheric temp is cooler, the warmer air inside the vehicles vaporizes by the wind screen, causing the fog. While there's a fog lamp to dry out the rear wind shield, there is none for the front, So your best bet is when you get to a stand still or to a flood free location, put on the AC and chill the interior below the atmospheric temperature to clear out the fogs in front, or better still use the good old manual towel wiping process. Enjoy your driving in the rain. I love it so much! |

I have people that are brilliant are well informed. Good job for the guy that took his time to lecture us reasons, we should all switch off the AC. They only told us in our CPY during Health and Safety meeting, which wasnt analysed. i once told my boyfriend and he argued it out that his AC is always on. I was not well informed sha..... Thanks Its a great thread. |

boladez: It has been raining since 2am in most parts of lagos and from Accu weather satellite pictures it seems it is a tropical rainstorm. There a flash floods even on major roads. Hope ya all are fine and not too badly impacted? The truth is , any one who has no serious business outside should work from home today. Dis should be number 1 ----------->5. Pray to your God! Good one though, drove through it around 3am too...From Luth gate to Ilasa...It was really bad...I am sulking now sef |
