Therein lies the answer.
And trying to steer in the right direction just makes matters worse
Waah I understand now if it's on account of water there's nothing he could have done ,then I realized there's a lady hanging on the bus near the door .

That bus has 6 such floaters, and this significantly reduces it's grip on the road.
Wrong.The buoyancy of the tyres has insignificant effect on road grip. If buoyancy had a significant influence, the rear would drift first because it has more tires and carries less weight. I do not need to use any figures, which woud show that the buoyancy of the tyres is aroung 200 kilograms for a vehicle weighing about 5000 kilograms.

Such a haunting image. Really pulls at the heartstrings.

This other photo shows just how precarious that crossing drift really is. Tragic to say the least.

@Mwalimu-G now you know why the tarmac has cracked in several places on the drift
Kuna mtu alikula pesa ya kujaza hardcore halafu watu wa scrap wamejsaidia na chuma...

Well designed drifts should also create sand dams and this is why the ladies are drawing the water there. But they should have been educated not to dig for water so close so as not to undermine the drift.
