What You Should Do If You Suspect A Car Is Following You by AutosBay(m): 11:53pm On Jun 12, 2016
Make four right or left turns. It's unlikely anyone will also be traveling in a complete circle, so if the car is still behind you after 360 degrees you can be fairly certain you are being followed.
If you're on the highway, get off and then back on. Again, this is something most people will not do when driving so you're likely being followed if a car is still behind you when you get back on the highway. If this happens, pull over to the side of the highway. If you're being followed by a surveillance team, they will not pull over because it's too obvious. They may, however, wait at the next exit so if you want to lose them don't choose the next exit or the exit that you usually take.

If any of these techniques lead you to believe you're being followed, call the police.

If I notice such..... I access the vehicle following me, if I can beat him with my V6 engine.....then let the race begin. OR

Start pressing your horn continuously like a lunatic while driving dangerously in a zig-zag manner. This will help you attract attention. Then stop at the nearest police check point.

Thank you.

However, I don't agree with parking in the middle of nowhere. That may be ok elsewhere but with ruthless Nigerian criminals.

Run. Run. And run.

One night sometime last year, I suspected a Matrix was following me on Ikorodu Rd, I climbed Anthony bridge and crossed to the other side. It did. I gunned on to the expressway and back to the service lane. It did. I turned off into Shyllon in Palmgroove. It did. I switched off my lights and refused to press the brakes, I was using the handbrake instead.

I drove into a primary school parking lot and parked smartly facing a gated street. The Matrix zoomed pass and stopped about a 100m away.

My phone kept ringing in my pocket. Thank God it was in my pocket. I locked up the car and ran to the gateman. Without asking, I entered and told the man that I think some people were following me. He asked me to wait behind a building. After some time, he came to me and guided me through the street's alternate gate, and how I could walk back to my car. I picked my phone and it was one of my chairmen. He said 'BTT you are a criminal! I was tailing you, but you somehow beat me to it. Now I have to find my way back home. Abeg come make we go joor'

Bring out your semi-automatic revolver and release two shot in the air, watch and see how the follower will make a V-turn.

Warning shot!!
