Why Do The Law Enforcers Tolerate Hanging On Vehicles On Roads In Lagos (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNG: 1:34pm On Mar 05, 2019
It has become a common sight on roads in Lagos state.

It is the sight of some commuters standing on the rear bumper of a mobile Danfo.

Clearly, this is a high-risk adventure - perhaps, suicidal.

There is so many inherent danger from such dangerous behaviour. For instance, the bumper might cave in to the weight of the person standing on it. This might lead to the person falling off the mobile Danfo. Things can get worse if there is another vehicle trailing the Danfo closely.

Interestingly, the traffic law enforcers in Lagos state appear to turn blind eyes to this deviant method of commute in the state.

Perhaps, they are waiting till a fatality occurs before adequate measures against the practice are taken.

A bumper is a structure attached to or integrated with the front and rear ends of a motor vehicle, to absorb impact in a minor collision, ideally minimizing repair costs.

The bumper  - front or rear -  was not designed to carry heavy weight.

Perhaps the law enforcement agents are tired of running after them all the time. Sometimes its just plain ignorance that makes people do things like this.

Impatience is another factor too, as everyone seems to be in a rush without really taking precautionary measures. Some on the other hand are just stingy people who would rather take that risk in order to escape paying the driver, at the expense of their lives. People need to be enlightened on dangers of undertaking deadly missons such as these.

We day call am ‘Hanging’

I remember when I ran away from home in 2002 and lived a short crazy life sleeping in the bus park at ikorodu garage, I was loading passengers to Odogunyan Splitex to Okijo Shagamu. Some passengers way no get Money day hang. Good for people that are stranded also as no body is willing to help strangers this days on the roads

In a country where human life has been cheapened and proactive measures against avoidable catastrophes are trivialized,risky acts like this shouldn't be shocking to anyone.It is not surprising that majority of deaths that occur in this country are avoidable and they could
be chalked up to the absence of preventive measures against likely fatal disasters and negligence of duty by agencies tasked with safeguarding human lives such as the police force,healthcare system,environmental agencies e.t.c.Even if precautionary measures are present,they are paid lip service to by agencies tasked with enforcing them.That is the sordid state of things in this zoo of a country.

The truth of the matter is that people who undertake such act are fully aware of the inherent dangers of their act.There are people who blithely and foolishly trifle with their lifes just for the thrill best known to them.
It wouldn't be surprising that any attempt to enlighten them would be met with cold responses as they will even try to justify their reckless act on the ground that they have been doing it for a longtime and nothing has happened to them.Trust Lagos agberos.
