GAZZUZZ: If that is so then pls explain to us laymen why in other countries they take extra precautions to transport such equipment but never in Nigeria. I have seen them use massive wedges to hold the tyres and not stones like in Nigeria. I have also seen them use very large belts to further hold the equipment in other countries but never in Nigeria. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ohamzee: Yes, it is worth the risk. Good use of social media...to inform and educate others. That haulage system is no where near "safe". 2 Likes |

FRSC guys no send o! I boarded a vehicle yesterday where the driver sat with 3 persons in front..We got to a FRSC check point and they just collected 50 naira and allowed us on..I just tire! The attached screenshot only shows the lady seated beside the driver. For a car that even has a manual transmission!

those stones shouldn't be there. should that truck enter a pothole, those stones could become dislodged and fall out damaging a vehicle or structure it meets or even killing people if it hits an oncoming vehicle. it is dangerous. the payloader should have been strapped down using adequate belts or chains. our FRSC guys are silly. |

GAZZUZZ:. So because od break. The tractor will not somertumble on a sloppy road. It is very unsafe. No doubt about that |

That isnt a caterpillar.. It is a grader.. And after wedging it... The hoe will be released to back of the low bed... So as to stop movement... So dont be bothered by the small stone they used |

GAZZUZZ: According to eye witnesses, A stone fell off a low bed transporting a caterpillar and hit the drivers side of my door which blew my side-curtain airbag some years back. This is an unsafe act. |

The sleepers will not allow the machine to fall off. That's what they are made for besides being the platform for the machine to climb into the low bed. |

Abayor7:Not out of fear. Out of concern. I am very sure in a saner clime, the truck driver will pay dearly for this recklessness. We must get to the point we choose to do things right |

Of Nigerians don't value their lives. No laws and even when there are laws about somethings, almost all the people don't obey the laws including the lawmakers and enforcers. And almost all Nigerians are involved each one in his capacity. So Nigerians don't generally value their lives but not their pockets at all costs either by looting or by strikes by labor unions or ghost workers or prosperity preaching by the pastors and the likes. |

TVTKOKO:Sir, the least you could have done was to disagree and give your opinion and not call names. That was highly uncalled for. Did you say no reason to panic? There is every good reason to panic. That is about 60-70 tons of raw cast iron and steel just parked on a moving platform without a strap, are you in Nigeria at all? Did you say any sane human? Are Nigerian truck drivers sane? Do you think a sane human would have parked an earth moving equipment like that? Are you sure you just typed what I quoted up here? You had better modified your post and stop insulting common sense here....#sighs |
