All the way from Orile to Western Avenue, this flatbed trailer bearing a container was this way.

As you can see, the container is not well fitted on the trailer and it’s not strapped. This is to tell you that there is no own tie-down devices or locks that attach the container directly on the flatbed trailer.

What is the fate of other road users around this death trap?

A very serious pothole can make this container flip or fall off. Hard braking and weight transfer can throw it off balance and you know the implications. A lot can be seriously injured or even lose their lives.

In as much as the authorities that suppose to put all these in check are not up and doing, we should be mindful of how we put people’s lives at risk.

This can also serve as a warning to other road users; if you see such, please do all you can to give them all the space they need. Ensure you’re no place near them. You might be thinking you can be smart enough to maneuver. Accidents happen so fast.

There are standard procedures meant to be taken before a trailer bearing a container can hit the road. Some of it include inspecting the container; ensuring it’s not overloaded and that it’s properly balanced.

Stay safe out there. Stay focus, be alert and concentrate while driving today no matter how knowledgeable and skillful you are.

I actually parked in front of a similar trailer like this some weeks ago near Mogodo and demanded the driver to end his journey, because the container was moving. O boy see insults from other drivers telling me i was causing hold up. I just enter my car mind my business b4 I chop slap.

Bro....I hail you!.....that's exactly what you should've done...stop the truck...end the risk. Others were supposed to join you...instead they turned on you. If the container fell...and caused death...the same people would be wailing.

@ topic...it's good OP bought this to social media....but as I read I wonder how far he was following...but doing nothing. ... was OP somehow hoping it fell and he can have live video?...or pix showing the moment a container fell and crushed 9 people?
We can't depend on the authorities to end this recklessness. .. we need to take matters in our own hands....like stopping the trucks....forcing them off the roadways then loosing out the air from all tyres. ..and if need be.....giving the driver a good beat down. If we all can do that...I can bet my life we will not be seeing or hearing about such carelessness.

Fiducia:

Dear lord, we commit our lives into your hands.
May we not die because of the careless attitude of our Leaders, Amen.

sundaygray:
Someone should arrest the driver!
