In the UK people are too stressed with the high cost of life. This is can be seen in the aggresion they show on the road and in train stations. In fog when the visibility is poor you are supposed to drive really slow, but I bet you they were driving too fast. Shame, hope the injured recover quickly

Fog in early September?? One of the reason why I don't like Europe.... Hello America? It's still summer time until mid September.

2ndChance: All these oyibos sef. If the drivers had poor visibility, were they deaf as well? At least, they could have heard other cars crashing ahead of them na and know how to apply brakes. 1,2,3,4, ......130. Haba, I was told oyibos were smarter than this.

Have you ever driven in thick fog? You only need to have your windows wound up, and your radio on at moderate volume, and trust me, you won't hear a thing, till it's too late. Sometimes you could stop, only to be shunted into stationary cars by others coming behid you.

Stop spreading lies, British motorists are among the best in the world, one off event cannot make you to come to such conclusion.Do you want to compare them with your Oshodi oke drivers?

Substitute "British" for "Nigerian", and you'll be closer to being correct.

You better be kidding me with that statement. Thankfully lots of people on this thread live in UK and can argue that point. Unless as someone said you're trying to bash the country.
There is no other country in the world where it's as hard to obtain a driver's licence like UK. Just the rigorous process alone would instill dicpline into you.

And arrogance? You wanna compare a run of the mill unlawful Lagos motorist or your typical brash road-raged American on the highway to UK motorists? Mate !

Don't let those stats fool you matey,UK drivers are horrible especially in Kent. Some years back,06 or 07, I can remember seeing a lady polishing her nails in traffic while driving at 50km/p.it was an absolute shocker to me. To top it all, Kent police have a reptuation in the UK of being bone idle and lazy!

According to eye witness accounts,the accident occurred in thick fog with some witnesses saying that visibility was down to 20 yards in places and that motorists were 'driving like 1diots' prior to the crash. Infact,don't bet against it that some folks were putting on makeup,shaving,eating,texting,tailgating the fog lights of the car in front at speed.Trust me,UK drivers are sh1t.
