Possible only when danfo drivers are out of the roads and we have a mad man controlling traffic because it is only when an insane man controls traffic in Lagos is when sanity is restored. |

Use of horn in Nigeria is more of habit than condition of the road or city. Even when the road is free of traffic (human, animal or other users), we still use horn. The most painful is when there is a logjam of vehicles and movement is impossible, a Nija driver will engage his horn so as your vehicle will suddenly & mysteriously develop wings and fly off his front. We need more patience & use of Common Sense! 1 Like |

Maybe a month is being overly ambitious, but I know I can do a whole day without needing to honk, except for probably alerting the security at my gate and of course this must be a very light tap. Let me say that it is not your use of horn that will prevent people from hitting your vehicle, rather, it is a patient driving habit. For a starter, never feel your ego has been bruised whenever another vehicle switches lane to get in front of you like one smart driver. Let him or her go get an award at home for outsmarting drivers on the road. Never see pedestrians as hindrances on the road, one day you will be a pedestrian too, if it is in the dark flash your headlamps, in the day, you can do light taps. Lastly, know the rules of driving and what the signs mean. Shikena! 2 Likes |

creepsyme: All vehicles have horn defaultly fixed on them, but the usage has been seriously abused in Nigeria. Its an offence using your horn for no reason in the US. It cause public nuissance to the people around. But in Nigeria anything goes. |
