I fear abuja road die. 3 lanes ,vehicles over speeding they don't even care slowing down for one to cross. My first time cross area 1 road ,I spent more than 20 mins.just to cross over to the other 3 lane. Drivers need to be cautioned. Life no get spare part

RIP to the dead. A lot of Nigerians are bad drivers and bad road users. Overtaking from the right is wrong and should you attempt it,make sure you have a clear view of your front view and also ensure there's ample space for you to drive before the vehicle you're overtaking,pulls over in front of you. The safest and right way to overtake is from your left. Many people know this,but still end up breaking this rule and at the end,they waste their lives and the lives of others. Last month,I was on Lagos-Abeokuta express and my colleagues were of the opinion that I should reverse on the express so we can quickly connect the opposite lane and avoid traffic. I vehemently refused,but opted to through the normal route to connect the opposite lane. I tried to explain to them that reversing on the express was wrong and the vehicles coming behind me wouldn't expect a car to be reversing on that lane. At the end,I might end up causing accident for innocent people. If they die as a result of that,would I forgive myself knowing fully well that I was wrong? These are the little details Nigerians don't pay attention to and at the end of the day,they end up paying a greater price for it. People should learn to do the right thing often,and also put other road users into consideration when driving.


@bolded, you have spoken the truth

however, many drivers dont give you the opportunity to overtake from the left, despite your how many times you hoot your horns, or flash your head lights at them. some times you overtake them an see them gisting or engaging in phone calls.

such ppl should be held liable for man slaughter, while the FRSC, and police should use unmarkded cars and fish these kind of drivers out.

No medics to administer first aid?



God have mercy on their souls



We are too quick to pronounced people dead in this country undecided
.

My brother I tire, with gud first aid, quick resuscitation and emergency surgery to evacuate internal bleeding and drip/blood given, some of those quickly declared dead by common road users might just survive.

We regularly manage to keep some alive here in the West, some with horrible injuries.

RIP to the F1 speedstars, but sympathizing with them does no good to the living who wouldn't obey that next speed limit signage. We are always in a hurry to nowhere, if he (the driver) had a chance, he would have chosen to annul whatever prompted such urgency. Hope we all learn from it.

R.I.P to the dead bro, I can imagine the scenerio, overtaking from the right and den that barricade in the middle of the road will make it impossible to swerve further by the right, and if he turned to d left, their might not be enuf space btween the truck and the vehicle he overtook,even if their is, that very vehicle would ve crushed them too, "onwu na akpo nwa nkita na ebu uzo afochisi ya nti na anya."

The main cause of accident in abuja is over speeding.. Those roads are just too smooth.. Talk of kubwa express, airport road, berger-banex-nicon road....and the cars are mostly in good condition.. RIP to the dead..

If every driver can think like you,then our roads will be a lot more safer.This is how every Nigerian driver needs to think for higher saftey standard.Always act like a defender on the road rather than a striker.

OMG this year is still fresh and I keep hearing the death news of people as if it's now a normal everyday thing for people to die out of recklessness. Why drive recklessly when you can simply drive jeje and get to your destination in peace and not in pieces

Life surely has no duplicate.

YOLO- you only live once


RIP to the dead

why hasn't technology advanced to manufacturing cars that do not compress on impact in this 2015, cars still collide and people die as a result?? I'm not impressed with the Asians at all sad -_-
Apart from the fact that fuel economy will be severely compromised, the price of purchasing and maintaining a car with a very hard body shell will be too high for the average man.

Dude what has Asians got to do with this. Any car will wreck in that situation. Paul walker was killed in a Porsche. Princess Diana died in a Mercedes Benz top of the class. Even vice president namadi sambo's younger brother died in a BMW x6 on this same airport road. Do u also blame the Asians for that? Nigerians just love lookin for someone to blame.

So sad! May they RIP and I hope the other lady gets better. There is a NEMA post down that road if I'm not mistaken, it's still good that the citizens tried to help but it will be good to always involve these rescue workers, probably no one called them and peeps will just be criticizing and say they didn't come, are they spirits how would they know of such occurrences if we don't call. NEMA has a fully functional 24hour call dispatch centre, let's endeavor to use all these services and not just conclude that they don't work.

[size=18pt]maximum speed limit should be 80 km/hr, since it is inside a city.

trailers and cars can not be on the same lane.
[/size]

Sometimes I do 100km/hr on that road, and then I see a car loaded with passengers (probably on the way to Bwari or Zuba enroute Kaduna) zoom past me like a rocket, which shows that they are probably doing 140km/hr. I think the speed limiters to be enforced as from June 1st will do a lot of good.

Fooooool. That was a security guard. They turned up eventually but that was long after the victims have been extracted from the vehicle. Same as the soldier. Rather than compliment or advice fellow Nls or even possibly support a safe driving campaign, you are looking for what to criticize. I bet if you were at the scene, you wouldn't even have stopped to help. yeye
