10 Safety Tips For Driving This Season. by AutoJoshNG: 11:11am On Dec 22, 2016
The End of Year period in Nigeria is usually associated with an increase in crime rate and personal security risks.

Here are a few tips to bear in mind while driving your car or as you ride as a passenger this season:

1. Keep doors locked and windows up at all times when in traffic, if you can
2 .Refrain from keeping valuables and attractive items such as phones where they are clearly visible
3. Do not let your car’s fuel level drop below quarter tank
4. Park in secure areas and avoid parking in the open street. Walk to your car with the keys in your hand
5. Check your surroundings before getting out of your car and do not leave the vehicle if you feel insecure
6. Exercise due caution; if you witness an accident or come across a stranded motorist at night, call the rapid response number or emergency services (112) to report the incident
7. Be cautious if a passer-by indicates that your car has a flat tyre or other defect and urges you to stop
8. At unusual/unexpected roadblocks keep windows up and doors locked and display the required documents if required
9.Remain in your car if it is rear-ended by another car and ensure it is not a hijacking or kidnapping attempt before inspecting any damage
10. If you suspect that you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station, another safe haven or public place and avoid lonely routes

Please remember to dial the hotline “112” in case of an emergency.

Drive safely this season.

These are the normal things you should do every time you drive around Lagos.

Nowadays you don't dare drive in traffic without locking your doors, windows and hiding your valuable (phones, chains laptops) cuz the way people are now being robbed on the highway is alarming.

That was how a thug snatched a lady's handbag from inside her car in a moving traffic... Though he never got far before he was knocked down by an alarmed driver

You think prayer occupying 5 of 10 points is reasonable advice? Look at advice given to motorists in countries with low accident rates, not once will it mention prayer.

You are just a typical brainless religious Nigerian. Iam minding my business because you are giving me advice to pray. you are giving advice on motoring, you say pray, call Jesus' name, know that in christ your journey is safe. Then i ask you practise what you preach and let Jesus take the wheel and you say "you first". Doesn't that prove you really have no faith and all your talk of Jesus and prayer is just mouth like 90% of Nigerians?

idiotic moronic religious fanatic Nigerian, you didn't mention basics like check your tyre, don't speed, check your suspension, instead it's prayer, prayer prayer.


It's idiots like you that will overload a car with bald tyres, faulty brakes, poor lights and then kill innocent people because you enter the roads saying "God is with me"
