And learn to ignore tantrums from other drivers....just stay focused or they l confuse you.....especially in super busy places like lagos , Aba, ph etc

Lol, horn before u overtake is very important irrespective of the car in front of u. Horn is very important as it makes other drivers to be alert.
I once drove a car without a horn and that dey I took my mind off overtaking in a sharp corner and also on a service lane.
quote author=youngpol post=34138287]This reminds me offer a post where the poster said: horn when you want to overtake, horn as a sign of greeting, horn when you are happy, horn everytime..

Copy copy FRSC where person go see airfield wey dem no dey use again abi na icy roads

vimi:
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.
[i]

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.

Why not teach your men how not to extort innocent drivers on the road

And besides when has your men stopped a tanker driver without license before

about 5 years ago, one of the regional FRSC officers told me "you ladies should always wear seatbelt because you know that thing you carry on your chest, it can burst if it hits the dashboard".



I don't think most FRSC men know good driving rules. And this copy-and-paste they just released (icy roads? abandoned airfields?? ) just prove their worthlessness.

Imanuelle:





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?

Abi oh I thought I was the only one that noticed the anomaly, where do we have icy roads in naija?

Must uu fall ma hand iin public? Eh?

elohorayodele:
why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

I remember that inscription on my t-shirt back in the days, but i am yet to get the idea.

How can road safety copy and paste without reading. How many drivers (even FRSC) know about understeer, oversteer and handbrakes in ice to drift vehicles.

Sorry sir.

I hope this Corp will know change has come
The level of corruption on our roads is worrisome particularly commercial vechiles.
You need to change

Good advice.
