7 Characteristics Of Lagos Drivers by Nobody: 5:17pm On Dec 19, 2015
1. They are ok with paying money just to park their cars at shoprite but complained when Fashola spoke of the return of toll gates.

2. When danfo drivers drive rough, they know the difference between a car and an expensive one.

3. In traffic, they insult you for not allowing their vehicle some space to move ahead, but forget they did the same to another motorist few minutes ago.

4. Lastma officials are beginning to starve cos lagos drivers are now fast learners.

5. They complain of too much traffic but are ready to start one just cos they want to buy gala on the highway.

6. After spending hours in traffic, you get to realise it was caused by two motorists who failed to move their vehicles out of the way after bashing each other.

7. They increase their speed at a zebra crossing with Humans waiting to cross, but stop to allow Cows pass when they see them.

The Danfo drivers see Traffic light as street light...

They complain the city is dirty but throw gala nylon out of their window.

I have been meaning to open D's kinda thread too, but leeme just shrink my piece here.
Nawa for danfo drivers in Lagos oooo.
one thing is that, they will force you to drive insane too.
.
Believe me you dare not leave a little space in front of you, they would manage that space and force to brake abruptly.
.
They would wait for passengers in front of you and even call passengers to enter their bus without parking or leaving the road for you to pass.
.
damn it, they don't listen to hoots. No matter how hard you press that horn,u are just wasting your time.
.
Danfo drivers would curse you with anything they k ow if you drive smarter than them. They rather not ask before you give them cus they would drag that lane with you as if it was their birth right you are denying them.
.
Guys, you will fear them when it comes to overtaking a Danfo. yes, they are quite slow, but they would pick race as soon as it's time for you to overtake.
.
When a Danfo driver drives on wrong way, they expect you to clear away for them ( go and see them and cele onward mile 2 axis)
.
well, the last one I can remember though is this.... If a danfo driver bash you, end, if they do, don't even try to speak big grammars cus they would beg you with all they have ( without money though ). No matter how you screen them, they never have a dime to pay . All you would hear is "Ejo nitori olorun " ( I beg you in the name of God )
.
Abeg, Lagos na one life jare, if you agree hit Like. jare.
...

The greatest offence you can commit against me is not indicating when turning at a bend (what is known as "trafficating". There is even no word as such)

So, while driving, I curse a lot now.
