*clears throat*
Drivers in sokoto state are far better than drivers in the UK(kent area to be specific). 130 vehicles within 10mins or there about show's 'wrecklessness'.

aysometin: The fog this morning was scary, I don't know how I managed to drive to work, I nearly turned back. Sad thing was so many drivers on the M25 were still ****driving very fast****tongue so I am not surprised this happened at all.

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.

How would dat be possible? When they have their glass wound up, AC blowing, gbedu blasting!

I don't really blame the weather conditions exclusively for this mess. British motorists are the worst in the world, arrogant, rude and technically inept! You could see they were driving fast and too close,its a miracle no one died.

hahahahahaha feel among.... this is a very wrong statement. the speed limit on that bridge is 50 mile/hour and monitored by average speed cameras.... your analysis is totally wrong. dont jump to conclusion from naija.

I don't share this view if you was here you would know what tick fog really means, you could not see beyond 10ft in front this morning and that bridge is elongated hence close to the clouds and as same time bending so what do you expect?

haha na wa, Im hoping you get to drive in a country where the highways are smooth, people here wind up in the morning so car is almost sound proof hence you can drive here for years without sounding your car horn. So this might be a reason they never heard nothing.

okpara ugo: This caught my attention... '' they were driving without lights under foggy conditions ''.

I call that stew-pee-d.

Though some of them might have seen the mess up upfront, applied their brakes, yet slow pokes will still ram them from behind. You know what i mean
Well lights +thick Fog=Disaster
its advisable not to drive at all or put on hazard lights and do seaside traffic speed.

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

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. Lastly,you don't know Kent more than I do.

Pelleooo balogun of kent. My apologies anyways, i jumped to conclusion as i thought it was QE Bridge at dartford.

What a stupid post in this thread. British drivers are some of the politest there are. In naija the only code of conduct is hammering the horn, close your eyes and hope for the best. In Britain there is a whole honour code involving flashing lights)(warning for speed camera vans, letting someone onto roundabout, thanking). Some people have no clue.

In the case of this accident there were some stupid people with no lights/fog lights on, which in those conditions are crazy.

Kent is outside London and south of the UK. Partly Greater London.
London is south of the UK as well.
Extreme South? Hmmmmmmmmmm. You are right but, what would you call Bournemouth, Poole and Dover?
