This happened to me once on my way to work. I was trying to overtake another car. Next I heard was the very loud sound. I was destabilized for some seconds but was able to control the situation. Happened just after Ogudu bud stop inbound Toll-gate. Thank God for saving my life.

Thanks OP.

The simple way is by praying and keeping your eyes open! "And God shall give His angels charge over you."

My experience with this happened while I was driving the first time and while on a motorcycle the second time. On both occasions, all I can say is that God kept me and those in the vehicle. Nothing but thanks to God.

Yesboss!

copy and paste no de get ansa grin


leave it in 4th gear, and as the speed drops, down shift to a lower gear.

From personal experience with manual transmission....i was on 90 on the long bridge after berger when suddenly I heard a loud noise from the passenger rear tyre(i attributes the success to God), the ffing step was taking
1 I clutched down and disengage the gear from 4 to neutral
2. I began to use the steering wheel to control the vehicle from swerving into the wrong way( if the car is going to the left I will wheel it to the right and vise versa).
3. There was light traffic thus avail me the opportunity to negotiate to the slow lane.

Very accurate. I've experienced this and in my case, at 182KM/H (2012 Mazda 3 (Axela)). The car was absolutely stable while I decelerated gradually till I came to a stop.
What the hell where you doing at 182
