OVER CONFIDENCE WHILE DRIVING IS
DANGEROUS THEREFORE SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
A GOOD DRIVER IS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS
THINK AT ALL TIMES THAT EMERGENCY COULD
OCCURRED WHICH MAY LEADS TO FATAL
CRASHES THEREFORE OUGHT TO DO THE
FOLLOWING TO PREVENT A CRASH.

1. Look Further Ahead: Most drivers have a habit
of seeing just the front of the vehicle while
driving. Driver must look further ahead, see the
horizon or at least 15 seconds ahead.

2. Scan, Plan & Act: Drivers are to scan all
potential and actual hazards and plan early on
how to approach those hazards or how to avoid
those hazards and act on what they have decided
to do.

3. Create and Maintain Space: The best defense is
to create space around our vehicle. If there is
space around the car then its impossible to have a
crash as nobody has crashed with the space. "Use
2 seconds Following distance rule, Diagonal rule".
Keep space while queuing anywhere in traffic jam.
Keep space as an emergency escape route.

4. Be Seen and Predictable: Nobody wants to end
up with the accidents. If you are seen and
predictable, other drivers around will try to avoid
you. Use dim headlights between the sunset and
sunrise and use indicators correctly and in correct
time. Communication while driving is very
important.

5. Be Aware: A driver must be always aware of
the surrounding: Nothing should take a driver by
surprise. Plan for an emergency at all times.
Above all, drivers should be fit and have positive
attitude always.

Thanks.

if you drive outside Nigeria, it is then you will realise Nigerian driving is just straightup abnormal. especially Lagos. The way those "danfos" cross you in traffic OMG ...
worst part is that slogan "if you can't drive in Lagos, you can't drive anywhere else" hian...

Go out and see how normal people drive

True. To be more specific,drive like everyone around you is insane and you're the only one on the road who is sane. Drive for yourself and for other road users and furthermore,have it at the back of your mind,that you're not the only one using the road. Be extra careful and cautious.
