Nigerian drivers are probably the worst all over the world both in driving and in their attitude. The reason for this is because the system we live in is very disorganised and this has made many of us lose the values needed to live a decent and stress free life , as many of you already know. And this situation explains part of why there is low life expectancy in the country. |

I cant see my category. I am somewhere between 2 and 3. I am very meticulous but speedy when the road is clear. |

danfo drivers will just make you laugh by the way they insult both pedestrians and other drivers. Tell a danfo driver he is wrong and watch the way he will swear for you and your generation yet unborn. |

The call centre agents. Always on call when they're on steering |

The Money Scavengers; These types could stop on the speedlane of airport road(berger) to pick up passengers. They use the road like its their village townhall. They could step on their brakes at anytime. 3,4 and 5 full Abuja. Most of them nah either yorobahmehn or Kogi elders. |

Another type is : The road ragers who are so annoyed at all the various other driver types, they begin to make assaults on other drivers in traffic.. Using verbal and physical movements of their vehicles.. Some of them even commit bloody murder like the big tanker truck driver that ran over a motorcycle and its riders leaving them crushed to death... All because of time and space on the road.. |

valmunich:There's a category of road users known as DEFENSIVE DRIVERS(or rather defensive driving). I'm proud to say that i fall into this group of drivers because, they drive their cars and that of others syncronizingly e.g when you're approaching a round about junction and noticed no vehicle is at that pointing on the ROUND TURNING, you still slow down even when you know you'll be on the right track to fire on and either make ur turn or further ahead. Why did i include this category? You may want to ask. I did because, it's not everyone you see on the road, that is exposed to road rules and regulations, and even if they know, they'll sometimes, deviate from them via their lack of patience, most especially Lagos commercial drivers (locally calledDANFO drivers). 1 Like 1 Share |

What about the buyers? They slow down to buy every thing buyable on the road from kilishi to gala to chewing gum. A taxi driver calls them 'onirakura' in yoruba. It means the frivolous buyer. |

I fall stricky to number 3 category. Since av been driving my car I jst feel the urge to drive in high speed and overtaking cars, and I can't seem to drive without music on |

What of the experts? |
Re: 6 Types Of Nigerian Drivers by SWG1: 9:23pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
What of the Jeepers & creepers. Once they upgrade from small cars to jeep, they will be creeping in front of u with their bogus vehicle like the highest speed in the speedometer is 30km/hr. |
Re: 6 Types Of Nigerian Drivers by Donbabaj: 9:36pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
Its only in Nigeria I know that it is until you give a pleading or begging signal they will never give u space to navigate in front of them even after seeing you are trafficating. I myself is guilty of this! |

7. The hooters: These categories of driver can't drive without hooting (sounding of horn apparutus) even when there's no need. They use d horn to greet, call and follow the beat of their vehicle's music. They hoot is very annoying manner. |
Re: 6 Types Of Nigerian Drivers by ifeanyi83(m): 10:12pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
Nice post. You'll find me in number 2. The meticulous (defence minded) driver. But that hasn't denied me some scratches here and there..especially my bumpers.. |
Re: 6 Types Of Nigerian Drivers by Niyoung(m): 10:24pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
No.4 reminds me of all car users in Cross River state especially Calabar except non-indigene. Dey fall into dis category. dey wouldn't even mind causing traffic congestion or accident behind dem while exchanging pleasantries 2 one anoda in d middle of d road (even high way). Dis is their innate attitude dt can never b taken away 4rm dem. |

You forgot the most annoying set: those who drive int middle of the road. They are demons in disguise. Sent to annoy me and make me drive in an unsafe manner just to overtake the selfish idiiots. |

There are no driving rules in Nigeria. Each driver makes makes up his/her own rules as he/she Manoeuvres the deadly maze. #It is like ojuelegba,wey moto dey come from east,moto dey come west,moto dey come south,moto dey come from north and police man(traffic light) no dey for centre, # na confusion be that ooo. |

Good write-up, one must truly fear and put commercial motor drivers into consideration to get back home safely. |

9: The Aways - Anyone who does not stay in Nigeria or used to Nigeria way of driving, just arrive and decide to drive themselves and put everyone at risk. Trying to obey traffic rules where it does not even exist... then ignoring traffic rules where it is enforced...Getting scared because you see police with gun pointing ... updating twitter, etc...asking too many questions.. |
