Some of us are fond of competing with trailers on the road… and our panel beaters over-bill us after our over-skill fails. I have been bitten once, so now, I avoid them like.. I don’t want trouble. During the first-to-go competition, several drivers get carried away with the aim of being the winner until they lose big time.. heading to the repair shop after plenty “I beg Sir”. For me, my therapy is to think of my safety. So, I just let them go. Let’s talk about some of the things you should remember before you compete, probably, they could help you too: Trailer Drivers Are Reckless And Aggressive Most trailer drivers are aggressive and reckless when behind the wheels.. especially when driving under the influence of what you might call it. This is evidenced by the number of trailers reported in road accidents on a daily basis. So if you want to compete, look for your mate. They May Not Even See You Those trailers have enormous blind spots. This is a major reason they usually have motor boys (Co-pilot).. Some co-pilots that can’t drive. I hardly trust their judgement. Some of them will just tell the driver to be coming.. be coming.. until you hear… Your Vehicle Could Get Damaged When this happened to me several years back, I then took the car to a panel beater who even caused more damage to the car. I never believed the guy would use sharp metal rod to puncture the body of the car that was smoothly dented by the trailer’s tyre. They Can Waste Your Time A minute waiting time can save you several hours of delay. The sad thing is, those trailers don’t even leave small dents.. they damage your car well so you guys can argue for hours and you’ll spend additional time at the repair shop. After spending the time, you’ll still spend the money. Your Life Is At Stake Even if you don’t love yourself, AutoJosh loves you. So please think twice and drive with caution. Many have been killed, containers have falling on several others. Avoid driving beside them even in traffic. It’s either you are behind them or you are in front running for your dear life. Please don’t misconstrue, I am not saying you should be timid on the road and park anytime you hear the word “Trailer”.. A smart driver will know when to go and an excellent driver will know when to hold back. Strike a balance and be a safety conscious driver. I am sure you have gone through this ordeal before. So, add your consolation strategy let’s learn from you too. https://autojosh.com/x-factor-to-consider-before-you-compete-with-a-trailer-on-the-road/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Ishilove Marpol Semid4lyfe Obinoscopy Seun 13 Likes

I will only overtake a trailer, when I know that the coast is already clear. Not scares me than riding side by side with a trailer carrying a container.... I am always terrified!! 17 Likes |

The way those heavy duty trucks enter the expressway from the service lane is scary. They just plunge into the expressway without caring which oncoming vehicle is along that path......except of course if the incoming vehicle is a heavy duty of similar size  6 Likes |

My life is more precious, not just for me, but for those who I'm meant to help in life.. I dare not because of lateness become late in life. Why the hurry? I'd rather follow them from the back than make a seconds mistake that will ruin everything. www.entmirror.com Home Of Entrepreneurs 4 Likes |

So far d road is good and clear and I can see what is ahead, behind, beside and the driving nature / pattern of the trailer , I will never stay behind them. I must surely overtake with my horn and headlights if necessary! 2 Likes |

Don't compete with Trailers... except the road is wide enough to over take! |

OP, another factor is braking distance. some are fond of 'chancing' others only to swerve and stop in front of trailer. Men, d screeching and gbosa sound no be here o. 1 Like |

Ironically, when the accident pictured in the OP's post happened, the Police PRO advised vehicles to about container trucks. People tackled him heavily, but I picked sense in what he said. |

mejai: very true. Also ensure your car is sound so as not to get stuck midway. |
