Explorer exploring again

jayriginal:


Tah.
You made that up. Who collected the data?

Hope you are not getting ahead of yourself cos people are hailing you.

You have a proof to discredit him? Foward it please!

25. Thirty-One Percent of Fatal Accidents Involves Alcohol.


According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2012, 31 percent of all traffic-related fatalities in the U.S. involved an alcohol-impaired driver.

26. Potholes are very frustrating for drivers, because sometimes they can’t be avoided. Swerving into another lane when cars are coming trying to avoid the potholes has caused thousands of collisions.

27. Some drivers engage street race, you should never race another car to your destination, even in a casual, “friendly” way. This leads to unnecessary risk-taking behavior.

Explorers:
5. Simply wearing a seatbelt reduces your risk of a crash related death by 50 percent.

*. Men are 10% likely to use their seatbelt than women.

I am a living testimony on this one.

Explorers:
6. In Nigeria, more than 50% of drivers dont use seatbelts for the safety purpose but to avoid fine by the FRSC.

In Nigeria:
70% don't use seatbelts, 30% do use
90% of those at the back seat of the vehicles don't use seatbelts. Parents with families are culprit.
Commercial vehicles only have front seatbelts

Explorers:
23. In some countries, many drivers/road users cant interpret road signs.

Even in Nigeria. I bet most drivers especially those truck drivers never see anything like this road signs before. FRSC really do have a lot of work to do.

kossyablaze:
Me for example.... I only wear it on sighting them which is bad. Don't be like me

i promise not to be like you

There's a doctor on here that advocates against the use of seatbelts.

Explorers:
21. Helmets reduce fatal and serious head injuries by up to 45%.

And yet you show the picture of one of the least safest helmets

shouldn't he be the one with the proof?

lonelydora:


Its more than that in Nigeria, because of inexperienced drivers and bad roads.

...and bad cars

guilty as charged!

Lol. I knew 50% was too high. With all this commercial vehicles, even the private owner don't go up to 50% Explorers try and modify. Nice one

its true

Bros look around U na, Is he wrong!
Y do people just choose to cause trouble, are U lil Kesh?

Explorers:
24. In a month, drivers will disobey or go against traffic lights/regulations two times.

Only if they are working

This has got to be the most educative post in recent times. Lol

tartar9:

shouldn't he be the one with the proof?

Yes,he should but did you or anyone ask him? No...
He only made a comment.. "hope you're not getting ahead of yourself because people are hailing you "that's been jealous and hypocritical... If he has a better and precise statistics he should foward it we will gladly learn from him

I have been saved by belt a couple of times , One of my friend's life once


The guy actually tried to unlock the door and jump out meanwhile the car was midair (He was fast asleep ,airbag work him up ) 160 and potholes are not friends

so i force my friends or family to fasten theirs when i am driving or the passenger ,

Seen someone disobey traffic light and got rear ended by truck , we shouldn't be too desperate too in a hurry

What disgusts me is educated parents letting kids sit at the front , carrying children on their laps and a case where mum and dad sits at the front , child / children sits at the back unrestrained , i have even seen kids standing in the middle two front seats accessing them from the back


It just disgusts me , But what do i know ?? You tel them they'll tell you you are bad belle , nothing evil will happen to them in jesus name


so i rest my case

May God continue to guide and protect us

Nice one.

Check the post i quoted, i was involved in a ghastly motor accident and what prevents me from a severe injury is the seatbelt.

Look around. The problem is that people just swallow anything coming from a perceived authority without questioning. That's why our politicians get away with the nonsense they do.

He made the stat up. Facts are sacred. If he had said "a number of" rather than 50% I would have had no problem with it.

What is your point now? As far as I'm concerned he's right. Drivers only use seatbelts when they approach FRSC men, and after that they'll remove it. No chills your opinions your headache sha

Most NiGerians Ignore 16 down to 19.

you aint far from the truth,i for one hate the use of seat belts,makes me uncomfortable while driving,eventhough it serves as a life saver in some accident cases,i think more awareness about this simple stuffs will help in saving lives,i'd say 80% of road crashes are from human errors and negligence, less of mechanical errors.

maybe you are right,but i think you shouldn't have used that term on him,it made you seem as though you filled with envy or bile towards him,rather than correct a statistical error,btw all this statistics are just calculated assumptions and not facts,for me i'd say his 50%is way low,ama give it a 70% based on what i see everyday on Nigerian roads.

Nah, no bias whatsoever.
