If you know what you are doing, then you should. Unless you are refering to Nigeria traffic officials.

True talk, I got my license and FRSC manual

I read that manual page to page and I know I don't violate traffic laws but when they stop me I know it's for money so don't expect me to smile

Nice but stupid thread all the same.

You should open a thread on decongesting our roads from these bloodsucking thieves.

Nigeria loses millions if not billions daily from roadblocks setup by police, army and the FRSC.

You now used FRSC pics instead of police.
FRSC guys are still lenient na, those police guys are ruthless. They must extort you by fire by force, but good points you noted up there.

I prefer police to FRSC

If it comes to Roger, which I don't give anyways, the police is more amenable.

What is the surprise about? When I was naive, the FRSC had impounded my vehicle twice, i had to make the union bank payments and bla bla bla before recovering my car, on one occasion my car slept there. With the police i could ordinarily intimidate them but where that is not working, as low as N500 will buy you out of almost any infraction.

When I was driving a charcoal tinted non factory fitted glasses on my SUV , the police gave me a hot chase unknown to me. When they drew level , i pulled over, went down and walked straight to their boss in the operational vehicle. It was an infraction then and i gave their boss N500 and got back into my vehicle. Were it to be FRSC, trust me no money would have brought my car out without going to the bank to pay.

When FRSC pulls me over, we just agree on the infraction and i go and pay. No further discussions.

This Op is just a clown.

In the first place most of those policemen on the road have no idea what the law says. The gun they carry is their only law.
Secondly, be civil all you want when they want kudi from you, they will cook anything up to make you look like a criminal. I have seen police officers (not one, not two) who have accosted me and angrily demanded that I wind down my sienna's back windows. I was like, "This is Sienna dude, you don't wind the back windows down". They proceeded to check every single document, every single thing...I had everything intact. They were too ashamed and disappointed to let me go without getting shishi from me.

My personal law is, I give money to police officers who are friendly, but the moment you stop me and behave nasty like the owner of me, no shishi for you. If I have run foul of the law I am ready to follow you to your police station to see it to the end. If there's an offence committed by me, the monetary penalty belongs to the state, not your pocket.

Lastly, it is a bad advice to encourage people to cower in the face of abuse of the law by the police. My advice is, make sure your documents are in order and your car is in great shape. Then stand up to those uneducated bullies who will stop at nothing to extort on the roads. That, is the way to put this to a conclusive end.

autojosh:
There is this paranoia that engulfs some of us when stopped at checkpoints. Some are able to manage the anger while others explode at the slightest spark.

These unexpected stops are definitely frustrating.. However, it is better to be courteous and ensure the situation does not get out of control except you feel your life is in danger.

Always remember these 6 points before you get into an argument with road officials:



They Have The Whole Time To Waste:

Remember that your time is money.. some of us even make the mistake of yelling at them that we are in a haste. Trust me, you will grow bear! bear!! (beards) at that checkpoint. Diplomacy and respect usually resolve issues faster.



It Can Damage Your Public Profile:

With this era of smartphone and twitter journalists, you will just see a photo or video of yourself fighting at Oshodi trending online..



It Might Hunt You In Future:

Don't be surprised that someone is making documentaries of all your street combos today.. You will only find out when you are this close to becoming a Senator.



They Have The Law To Back Them Up:

There are several laws in the books which remain unknown to us. These laws will be used against you when push comes to shove.. and the sad part is you cannot claim ignorance because "ignorance of the law is not an excuse"



They Will Twist The Fact To Favour Themselves:

If you are a young guy that drives a nice car, they may say you are an internet fraudster. If they shoot someone accidentally, they will say he/she was an armed robber.



Do It For God:

Don't forget, "A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel".



Add yours and let's know if you usually give them hot or cold..

Speaking from years of driving within and between several cities/towns spanning from Lagos to Calabar, I have to agree with autojosh.
Knowing and understanding the relevant laws for driving in Nigeria is highly recommended. However, you can save yourself TIME and STRESS if you learn how to deal with various classes of enforcement agents on our roads (Customs, Police, Soldiers, FRSC, state/LG officials i.e. LASTMA in Lagos, VIO etc...).
Claim your right but also apply "common sense" considering your immediate safety as well as that of passengers, your vehicle and it's contents (as applicable).

The major reason
Some officials are in possession of guns.
(The men in black)
They might gun you down for nothing.
and they will escape without anyone defending you or reporting them. so beware
