Kachisbarbie:


Why would I drive for 10hours? Am I working in Chisco motors abi Ekenedilichukwu? Lols

But those long-haul drivers, here, make cool money. Their median yearly paycheck is around $50,000.

Don't know about Ekenedilichukwu or the Young Shall Grow drivers.

I love driving but I can't drive more than 7hours. I have tried on several occasion after 7hours drive I will some be feel discomfort from my legs.

I plan to improve to minimum of 10hours.

Share yours

7 hrs at a stretch? Dt is too much nd even not safe! The standard is 4/10/15 meaning:
you should not drive for more than 10 hrs in a day.
you should not drive for more than 4hrs at a stretch.
You should have atleast 15 minutes rest after every 4hrs of driving.

My Record breaking Non stop driving hours of 201 hours...

Am working on breaking that my record...

11hrs! Lagos to Arochukwu in Abia state. Tho used cruise control most often ;-)

How does that cruise control work? I heard it causes accidents so I'm always scared to tap the button, I'm kinda curious

Jigawa to Benue

Jigawa to Benue direct no stopping

My Driving strength depends on the car I am using, so for longer journey a V8 (8 cylinder) car is ok. And note this if you are going on a high way dont wear tight belt, tight sucks, tight jeans (pencil mouth). Face cap, or tight t shirt so that blood can flow through ur brain well and don't eat b4 u embark on any long journey cos u would be tired in 3 hours time and

Drove all the way from Aramoko-Ekiti to nearby Nairobi, Kenya in just one overnight bout of malaria fever.

Cruise control on a Nigerian road...I bow for you...

12 hrs Lagos to Minna.

After seeing most of the comments on this thread, i am beginning to have an idea why people die like chickens on roads in Nigeria. I have said this in the past; The fact that you own a POV or have a drivers licence does not mean you can operate it.

1. Before going on long journeys, ensure you've have eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.

2. Never drive more that four hours without at least a rest stop of 45 minutes in between.

3. Never drive long distances with the interior cold. It is better to have AC on heat to prevent you from falling asleep.

4. Never drive long distances without a co driver. This ensures you switch out when and if you start to feel drowsy.

5. Avoid taking medications that might make you drowsy before going on long journeys.

6. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated before and during your journey. This also ensures you take rest stops in order to pee.

You are welcome.

Talking of corruption, we all have to collectively fight it or else we be prepared to pay dearly for it. I followed a PMS tanker just yesterday that loaded from the warri refinery and I decided to know it's final destination and how much they will sell the product. They discharged yesterday and refused to sell. But to my greatest surprised this morning while driving past the station, I saw them selling and the meter was reading N190 / liter. I called the manager's attention to my findings and he threatened to deal with me using the army personnel posted to the station. I tried to explained the situation to others buyers but they all blame Buhari for their woes and predicament. Fellow Niaralander how can we be this wicked to ourselves in this country? I saw over 8 truckloads of PMS entering Warri alone today viewing from the vintage position of my office along the NPA express way, yet all except the NNPC sells at N86 whenever they have the product.

jayloms:


Very pathetic! I tell you. The wickedness we display amongst ourselves is out of this world, perhaps, that's why we remain backwards.

We are the cause of our problems. Most of these stations lift products with NNPC tankers but dispense above pump price. The greed is just too much

Gazzuz had a similar experience some weeks ago, though he has modified the thread. There was a picture of an NNPC tanker discharging products at the station that day.

Some even deliver the products at night (1am - 3 am) . Early one morning (~7am, last week) I saw an NNPC tanker stuck in a gutter while trying to offload products at a filling station (so much for hiding to discharge products). This station has never sold fuel at control price. I refused to take a picture because it wouldn't change anything.

PMS can be sold far below N220/L today, but we would not let it happen

Sorry for derailing the thread. I couldn't ignore the posts

That must be on PS4

6 hours and I'm tired

My max for now is 5 hours straight but the car seat wasn't too comfy and the car's shocks were not superb. Give me a sound car and i'll go for 7 or more.
