This post was inspired by my colleague in the office who had a car accident yesterday. Thankfully he got out alive. He owns a Nissan.

Dont know much about cars...in fact, I know nothing about cars but I hear Honda though cute and all would break down on you anytime, anyday Got this chart on dadaviz.com and thought might be helpful to anyone.

Isn't this funny ? They related history of accidents with brand of cars and inferred that users of these cars are likely to die in them. Did they include other variables. I am interested in this topic,professionals please help. First of all, thank God my car is not listed here.

Include Toyota hiace popularly referred to as "hummer bus" before we talk about your findings.

It was said that kias are typically bought by people who have no interest in cars at all. These people tend to drive worse since they are probably disnterested in the car or where they are going.

I would assume that most of these cars are driven by young reckless drivers since they are exotic and do not necessarily pass for a family car.

I don't even deserve to die driving any of these cars.

You can be killed in a car accident by "any brand" or car make, all you need at the right variables. Please not you do not have to be in a moving car to get killed, it could be static and another driver might run into you and bam you are dead! Before you hit the road ensure you are emotionally and physically able to handle the stress and responsibilities that come with driving, also if you have not been cleared by a reputable driving school, or someone who knows how to drive very well, please avoid the highways, just remain in your small estate and keep practising, avoid hitting other people and their pets.

Another factor to consider is regular car maintenance culture, just imagine you are overtaking a trailer, and another trailer is coming in the opposite direction and just at that time your timing belt snaps, or your tyre blows out or your engine knocks, or your ball joints pull out, these are all preventable failures that can be avoided with regular scheduled preventive maintenance.

Alcohol and drugs and sleep deprivation. I don't need to talk too much on this, your reflexes are slower to respond when you are high or on drugs or sleep deprived and you are more prone to having an dagrin accident .


The chart above is not conclusive without mentioning the driving conditions and drivers ages, and drivers mental state before and after the fatal crash.

Firstly, you need to upgrade your car to a millenium car. (Those built from the year 2000)

Secondly and lastly, you must be a careful
Driver.

Those cars listed above didn't pass the car safety test.

So they are a warning for those very reckless drivers that even speed and make a sharp turn on slippery roads.

If you are driving any car, any car at all and at 100km/ph you slammed into a parked trailer, that driver is likely to die. This list is not really true except for the kia rio which is made in naija, heard it has no air bags, so drivers and passengers are more likely to get injured in it if and only if you drive it recklessly and use it to perform stunt a camaro was built to perform. Lol
