That number 5 Ehn! I detest driving even close..i prefer staying behind those ones that carries Containers till the coast is clear enough to move further away from them..

op trailer drivers are not reckless. it's just that we see other tiny vehicles as ants on the same road. sorry

I remember when I was still learning how to drive... On a particular day, I was with my instructor in enugu/ph express road, I saw MARK trailer behind... I turn master that day... If u see how I fire motor that day overtake am eh.. U go say this guy na baba!

trucking is one of the best jobs. just in Nigeria wet everything spoil. I am a truck manager as well a truck driver and I can bet I have not had any issue with other road users. it all depend on a drivers education. In Nigeria most truck drivers are illiterates. baba mufu and fatai them.

Where is autojosh? You should be ashamed of yourself for passing your cowardice to your readers. See as all of them they piss for pant. There is no big deal in overtaking a trailer.
1. Make sure that he sees you.
2. Drive very close to him, and don't give him so much respect. I mean, don't be driving 5 feet away from a trailer.
3. Overtaking a trailer is sometimes like having sex. Slowly is sweeter, but you can as well fire past him.
4. Why the hell are you scared?

I can explain these points in-depth but no be my Papa work.

True talk

autojosh:
Some of us are fond of competing with trailers on the road… and our panel beaters over-bill us after our over-skill fails. I have been bitten once, so now, I avoid them like.. I don’t want trouble.

During the first-to-go competition, several drivers get carried away with the aim of being the winner until they lose big time.. heading to the repair shop after plenty “I beg Sir”.

For me, my therapy is to think of my safety. So, I just let them go. Let’s talk about some of the things you should remember before you compete, probably, they could help you too:

Trailer Drivers Are Reckless And Aggressive
Most trailer drivers are aggressive and reckless when behind the wheels.. especially when driving under the influence of what you might call it. This is evidenced by the number of trailers reported in road accidents on a daily basis.

So if you want to compete, look for your mate.


They May Not Even See You
Those trailers have enormous blind spots. This is a major reason they usually have motor boys (Co-pilot).. Some co-pilots that can’t drive. I hardly trust their judgement. Some of them will just tell the driver to be coming.. be coming.. until you hear…



Your Vehicle Could Get Damaged
When this happened to me several years back, I then took the car to a panel beater who even caused more damage to the car. I never believed the guy would use sharp metal rod to puncture the body of the car that was smoothly dented by the trailer’s tyre.


They Can Waste Your Time
A minute waiting time can save you several hours of delay. The sad thing is, those trailers don’t even leave small dents.. they damage your car well so you guys can argue for hours and you’ll spend additional time at the repair shop. After spending the time, you’ll still spend the money.


Your Life Is At Stake
Even if you don’t love yourself, AutoJosh loves you. So please think twice and drive with caution. Many have been killed, containers have falling on several others. Avoid driving beside them even in traffic. It’s either you are behind them or you are in front running for your dear life.


Please don’t misconstrue, I am not saying you should be timid on the road and park anytime you hear the word “Trailer”.. A smart driver will know when to go and an excellent driver will know when to hold back. Strike a balance and be a safety conscious driver.

I am sure you have gone through this ordeal before. So, add your consolation strategy let’s learn from you too.

I like this your piece. As for me, I follow them carefully until I can see that the front is crystal clear before I overtake. Some of them that I have met are nice, they will give me arm signal to go when they notice that I am following them gently. But there are reckless ones who will leave their lanes or drive at the centre of the road to prevent you from overtaking them. I use to follow those ones carefully until I have my way to go.
