These drivers will not learn, FRSC have warning about maximum kilometers per hour, so that even if there is tire bust you can still control it, but drivers will not hear


RIP to the dead. This new year...so bad...they thought they were in 2015 already.

You know this could happen to anyone'
They were on the highway...was he supposed to be doing 20km/hr?
What is the FRSC speed limit?
When this happens, it takes only the grace of God and personal experience to stymie it.

I am only surprised an experienced driver of a mass transit @that, could hit the brakes so hard...but then, Nigerian passengers ain't helpful @all.
I can imagine all of them shouting Blood of Jesus!...driver!driver! when it happened. That's enough to even confuse a driver.

True, I think panic is the major reason why drivers hit the brakes, the agitation of passengers is another thing

My brother, if you've been in that situation before, you'll agree with me that it's not easy not to put your legs on the brakes.. It takes the grace, direction and boldness from God.. Have you ever run at a speed of 180km/hr and all of a sudden you hear a pop sound from your car tires? I'm a living testimony and till date I always give God the glory.. The key to reduction of accidents in our road these days is that:
1- We want to get to our destination very quickly thereby running at a speed of over 120mph- 140mph depending on the driver.
2- Most transport companies hardly change the tyres of their buses. A commercial bus tires should be changed completely every 6 months because of the wear and friction.
Lastly, Competition. This is the craziest, funny and thrilling part of driving. You'll find out some times on the highway some drivers hate it when other cars overtake them at high speed and later on flash them the danger sign signal. I too hate it a lot. I was on a trip yesterday from warri to benin and 2 muyi line buses with a toyota voltron and a tundra including myself if I should be honest were running at a speed of 160mph- 180mph all because of ''I'm not gonna allow you overtake me''.. I had to slow down because of my family and yet we all arrived within 5 minutes interval to benin. So bro, high speed is a major cause of this. I've seen cars flipped before my very eyes from one side of the road to the other side of the road along benin asaba express way and the cause was a little heap of sand. If that driver was running at a speed of 80 to 100mph, none would have died but it's too late. R.I.P to the dead. And to our youths out there, when travelling and you notice the speed at which your bus is moving is on a high, please caution your driver rather than telling him ''Driver-fire on joor''..

Re: I Witnessed An Accident (viewers Discretion Advised) by Nobody: 11:39pm On Jan 03, 2015
The OP did well to document the scene what if people viewing NL use the photos to identify their dead loved ones?

What did you want him to do anyway? would the authorities allow him to use his vehicle run the injured to hospital? which could sometimes cause more harm than good in cases of spinal injuries.

OP, thanks for taking the time to document this incident. At a scene not everyone can serve as a caregiver.

Folks, please take the time to look at the lack of threads on that overturned commercial bus tires.
Re: I Witnessed An Accident (viewers Discretion Advised) by rastarman(m): 12:11am On Jan 04, 2015
I don't like why people are always complaining of helping accidents victim and people snapping pictures. stop being illiterate. medical and someone with knowledge of first aid can only give medical attention. but the role of Journalist is to share the information's and a Historian to keep records. mind you everyone is just doing their work and doing what they knows best.. else if you are accusing people who can discharge their duties and failed.
