Driving in Bangalore rain: an honest guide
The city floods in 20 minutes. Traffic turns aggressive. Here's what you actually need to know.
Bangalore rain isn't gentle. The city floods in twenty minutes, drains overflow, and traffic turns into a contact sport.
Before you drive
Check your wipers and tyre tread now, not when it's pouring. Bald tyres on Bangalore tarmac aquaplane at surprisingly low speeds.
In the rain
Double your following distance. Use headlights, not high-beams. Avoid the deepest-looking water — half a metre is enough to stall an engine. If you can't see the road markings, slow to a speed where you can.
