I advise people to never stay behind a truck when climbing a hill or ahead of a truck when coming down a slope, also, at corners, avoid high speed.... When over taking trucks, ensure you're honking the horn at maximum rate to awaken the driver even if asleep.

There's a big difference between knowing how to drive and understanding what defensive driving is all about!

I used to think I'm James Bond until when I was fortunate to undergo a proper defensive driving training (DDT).

There's really a whole lot to learn when it comes to driving. It's way beyond you just moving the car from one point to the other.

I will implore everyone that hasn't done DDT to find a very good driving school to enroll...and I don't mean the road side ones.

I'm not going to advertise any school, but I can tell you, that you need more that getting behind the wheel and move. You have to have a very sound theoretical knowledge base when it comes to driving!

Driving in itself is an operation and a very risky one at that, but many see it as fun. A good DDT will highlight a whole range of dangerous scenarios for you, and you will know that you're not James Bond that you think you are.

Not more than I do. I learnt the odd way as a teenager. Was navigating a hill with dangerous bend between igede nd iyin ekiti state. Didn't know dz trailer couldn't climb and the big for nothing was falling back. Thank God for my sensitive and smart brother who made a sharp turn with the steering and headed for the Bush. I was so shaking that day

Thank God...he does that always. He is a merciful God.
