MadCow1:Ok we are saying the same thing. When I said they were taken from among us, I meant that they were used to breaking the rules like some of us do and they would not stop that now that they even have the power to push everyone out of the way. Sure, if the governor should queue, who dare do otherwise. I have had a shouting match with a police vehicle for driving against traffic. I actually blocked them and they had to beg to pass. It is annoying. Buhari promised us, so I am expecting him to act anyway |

Very interesting topic to discuss. The reasons are these. 1. System collapse. Even a mad person can be given drivers license in this country. Not to mention numerous people driving without license 2. Traffic law enforcement is zero in nigeria. Those in authority, law enforcement officers lead in breaking the law. Offenders can break the traffic law and get away with it in nigeria Therefore, it will not stop soon until the nigerian systems that have collapsed over the years are rescuscitated. |

ollyruffy:Good points there. How do we resuscitate the system when those in charge are the ones destroying it? |

agabaI23: I was almost shot by an Army officer who I blocked for driving against traffic. Infact, I was ordered to reverse on my own lane for daring to block the officer. I even made a post about the experience on Nairaland. Buhari is too busy fixing bigger issues to look at traffic violations. |

MadCow1:oh boy. Hope you went for thanks giving. Buhari promised this as well. Bigger issues? I'm yet to see. I want to see actually because we will benefit from an El Dorado |

dfrost: I'm not a psychologist or a sociologist but my little understanding of the human nature shows that man is naturally wired to be exploitative of a weak system. Only a tiny group of people have the discipline to manage themselves without being supervised; the vast majority of people depends on strictly enforced laws to behave themselves properly. 1 Like |

dearpreye:Humans are naturally inclined to disobey laws. Disobedience always appear to be the easier way but is that the case ? No!! |

agabaI23: Hi agabal23 I'll agree with you on one hand about those in charge of the system destroying it, albeit you will agree with me that attitude is also a contributing factor. Imagine a drunk driver with an 18 wheeler blaring his horn behind you and there's a ditch in front of you? Like, where exactly does he want you to enter just because his vehicle is higher than yours? It's really disheartening. |

dfrost:Imagine you are a following a lawyer or a professor or consultant who indicated he was about moving left on a U turn. How will you feel if you wheeled right to continue moving only to see the guy before you blocking your movement because he also wheeled right still indicating a left turn just because he wants to negotiate a U turn in one attempt? |

dfrost:Na so we see am |
Re: Traffic Questions For Drivers In The House by Nobody: 8:02pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
dfrost: The matter tire person abeg.....It's all traceable to the systemic failure we have on ground. We've learned and inculcated many primitive and terrible habit that will require decades of mental reconditioning to reverse. |
Re: Traffic Questions For Drivers In The House by dfrost: 8:15pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
agabaI23: Very pathetic, honestly. |

dearpreye:You couldn't have said it any better in your posts. As long as so-called Nigerian laws are not enforced, people will continue to do as they wish. After crime should come punishment. If punishment tarries, crime will follow again. |
Re: Traffic Questions For Drivers In The House by Antoinne: 9:21am On Aug 09, 2015 |
agabaI23:True. But when severe punishment follows disobedience, they "learn" and would rather not disobey any longer. When they instead escape justice, they are inclined to disobey again. It's psychology. |
Re: Traffic Questions For Drivers In The House by agabaI23(m): 2:52pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
Antoinne:True too |
