The Types Of Vehicle Drivers You See On Lagos Road by Olusharp(m): 10:50pm On Mar 10, 2018
There is this saying that if you can live and cope in Lagos then there is no where in the world you can’t live.

The same thing applies to driving, if you can drive in Lagos then there is no where on earth you can not drive.

If you are a foreigner and you are reading this, you might be thinking I am over hyping Lagos but that is the reality.


Lagos, located in African country, Nigeria is unique for it smartness.

If you can live and drive in Lagos you are indeed a master of all and a slave of none because you have been rebuilt.


Enough of painting Lagos State, the story must be tiring? Let me move to main topic.

Having resided in Lagos State for some years, I believe I am in a good position to write about this.


I literally sleep on the road, 11pm and as early as 5am.

Here we go, the types of drivers you see on a Lagos road.

1. The ‘My Car’ owners: These cars are usually very beautiful and quite expensive. you will see car brand like KIA, Toyota ,Mercedes Benz etc.

One thing about the owners of these cars is they are always very careful while driving and always try not to be hit or be the one to hit another car.

2. The Danfo/Molue Drivers: The ‘Yellow’ coloured vehicle is very popular in Lagos State, they are generally of Volvo brand.

It is a mass transit bus meant for we prospective car owners and even those with cars because they know how to manoeuvre their way in a traffic jam.

These ones don’t actually care, if you drive rough they will prove to you they are ‘rougher.’

They hardly obey traffic rules and are usually the brain behind major traffic jam in Lagos.

Anywhere is there are bus stop.

Another thing is they so much hate the ‘ My Car owners’ and they don’t hide the hatred.

3. Tipper /Trailer drivers: They are also known as the King of the Road, why?

Because they actually use their size to intimidate other road users.

Another thing is they usually do this on purpose.

They are usually the brain behind road accident due to brake failure.

4. BRT Bus drivers: These ones are the lucky type of drivers because they have their own special lane and do not drag the road with others.

And if by chance they hit another vehicle especially Danfo, the driver should just take to his heels.

others worthy of mention are the Tricycle drivers also known as Keke Napep, Taxi drivers, etc.
