Speed limits should be enforced on all vehicles, The roads should be repaired.... and if our trains were really functioning there would be less cars on the road too. |

Maleeq:My dear, bad roads contribute a lot to motor accidents. You are forgetting that people drive at night in a country that has no street lights. How easy is it to navigate a road with pot holes and gullies at night? How easy is it to navigate a road during raining season with the pot holes and gullies covered with water? Besides, with the kind of traffic congestions on our roads, where exactly can one over speed and at what time? |

murmee:I understand, but sometimes it just gets to me they way people race on good/relatively good roads. Accidents happen, yes, but I just feel our attitudes are drivers/commuters would help check these occurence. Neighbouring countries, Benin/Togo/Ghana, drive with so much sanity that I wonder oh why naija? |

AutoJoshNG: All you listed are vital but the one I marked bold is a bit of a stretch. It makes absolutely no sense to restrict trucks or any vehicle for that matter, to a particular time of the day. It is like vehicle curfew. It is illogical. One of the benefits of having a vehicle is unrestricted movement. You can move yourself or goods from destination to another at any time. Of course, you're right that trucks and tankers cause most of the crashes but it has nothing to do with the time of the day. It has everything to do with the truck drivers! Most Nigerian truck drivers are totally incompetent to drive trucks or any heavy duty vehicle! In advance societies, driver licences are issued according to the type of vehicle you wish to use it for and you must go through a stringent process - driving exams both in theory and practical before the licence is issued. Unfortunately, this process is nonexistent in Nigeria. Anyone can obtain a driver license in Nigeria without even physically going to the license office! What a shame! Our corrupt politicians travel to civilized societies a lot and yet don't implement in Nigeria what they see in Western countries!. When they're "sick" they rush to the best hospitals in Western countries and yet do nothing about hospitals in the country that in terrible condition! Until govt. starts implementing good driver license process and the items in your list, vehicle crashes will only worsen. Note: Use car crash instead of car accident. Almost all crashes stem from driver behavior like drinking, distracted driving and other risky activity. Human recklessness can't be an accident. Few are caused by vehicle malfunctions, weather and other factors. |
