The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has released ten tips that would help Nigerians to improve their driving skills and operate more successfully.
The guide ends with a warm message, which reads: “Thank for staying with us. We love you all.”

Study carefully. These tips might safe your life one day!



STEP ONE

If you have access to vehicles of different makes and models, switch them often. This way you’ll be working on driving as a whole, not on driving a specific car.



STEP TWO

Find a training lot. A disused airfield is the best idea, because it has long straight stretches (the runway), corners (turn way to runway entrance) and wide open spaces (the area in front of the hangars). If you are not so lucky as to have a disused airfield nearby, you may look for these three things separately. You may use abandoned country roads and disused parking lots that measure at least 50 by 50 feet.


STEP THREE

When you practice, focus not on the driving itself, but on feeling the behaviour of the vehicle. This includes lateral stability, acceleration, braking distance, etc. When you learn how to feel the vehicle, you’ll be able to drive anything at its verge.


STEP FOUR

Think of any hypothetical situation you may encounter, e.g flat tire, high-speed under-/over steer, pursuit driving, etc. Think what you must do in that particular case, then get in the car and do it. Make a note of your weak points and work to improve them.


STEP FIVE

Handbrake turning is not only for showing off. It’s the best way to correct high-speed under steer. It’s also useful on icy roads. It gives you confidence on rough road.

STEP SIX

Practice emergency stopping. If your car has ABS, disable it when you practice.


STEP SEVEN

Identify each dangerous situation when you drive and remember it. Then, when you have the time, think of what you could’ve done better and practice the preventive measures and maneuvers.


STEP EIGHT

Learn to drive backwards using only the side view mirrors. Once you get the knack of it, it’s one of the most useful skills a driver can have.


STEP NINE

Practice emergency in-turn braking. Do it in a wide empty space, not on the road.
[i]

STEP TEN

Test the brakes soon after you start down the road.

So FRSC is also doing copy and paste, or where do we find a non functional airport in Nigeria when the ones we are managing are supposed to be car crash testing sites?

FRSC should lead by example.

Good points!

That's cool


Someone said something about defensive driving some time ago.

"When you drive on the road, don't drive for yourself alone. Drive equally for others"

Don't take the literal meaning of the above sentence.

Where we want see Icy roads ehn?....Road safety!

It's easy to drive...


But it is not really easy to drive.

Good..
I hope all those transport drivers will read it..
And adhere to the rules..

Be like die dey flash you.

No. I don't live in Nigeria so why should I give a fvck?

FRSC should be merged with the police. they're a drain on public funds and a nuisance on our roads. After they made me go late to work because of the date on my tyres, I don't stop for them anymore.

why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

Nigerians don't know how to drive, reason rate of accident is way high

Practice what u preach, most of them can't do or don't do all this stuff dey mentioned.
