All of them are good drivers because they're still maintaining their lane. cool

Many olodos wey no even get bicycle go say 3 and 2.

Actually, it's just one that's wrong.... (3)

How can you say 2 is not wrong? Is he not supposed to watch out for oncoming vehicles before making attempt to overtake?

1 & 4 are maintaining their respective lanes. Hence 3 & 2 are the initiating overtaking . in this instance 3 is wring because it will be easy for 2 to finish and still maintain his lane because if the fact that he is descending a hilly terrain than 3 who is ascending.


So 3 is wrong.

Based on Nigeria system, 2 is very wrong. Why? He started the overtaking process from a bend with zebra crossing on the road. And under normal driving ethics, 1. You don't overtake at bends. 2. You must also reduce speed drastically when approaching zebra crossing.


Though 3 is at fault as well but the offence gravity of 2 is much.

All the drivers will die, they re all heading for a frontal collision.

Looks like super imposed images to me.

How did you take the pix? Where you in a chopper, tree, or did you take Benin airways?
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by ayocool(m): 6:20am On May 05, 2020
1 & 4 are overtaking, they are both faster than 3 and 4 i would think. Then 1 is wrong for overtaking when the road line is not broken
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by Zealoy(m): 6:47am On May 05, 2020
Well I guess they are still alive though, cuz there's no way that truck (3) can over take that long vehicle (2) in short distance

Only one wrong is 3 ,

2 was not wrong , he did his over taking from a dotted line , and he was about completing his over take before 3 now put head from a straight line ,

Over taking from any straight line is wrong , u can't even change lane on a straight line , 3 was only one wrong , remember the question , who is wrong ? It means one person , and it's 3 , one person can cause accident involving 5 cars , that does not mean that all 5 drivers were wrong

If in real life,it's no longer about who is right or wrong but to salvage life's.To avert the impending head on collision,it will be in the interest of bus 2 to slow down(because of it's size) and go behind bus 1 while bus 3 do the same and go behind bus 4.that way the accident will be averted.

3 is wrong because the driver is overtaking where the line on the road is is thick. U can only overtake where the line on the road is not continuous.
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by Alabaintprice(m): 1:57pm On May 05, 2020
Number 3 is very wrong...

How can a trailer be faster than a luxury bus....
Using Nigeria as a case study.

Chance is zero in overtaking....

Then number 2.....
The idiot feels he can apply fast and furious on a very short distance knowing that his van isn't so fast and at same time might not be as fast as the luxury bus ..

3 and 2

Both overtaking drivers are guilty.

It is not merely about right of way, an overtaking driver must that he has a reasonable space/distance from both forward lanes to avoid a collision.

From the position of the vehicles, there might possibly be two collisions...
bro, that's how we flunk exams. The question here is, who is wrong on the overtaking and not who is at the risk of collision. 3 is the only wrong vehicle here.

socialmediaman:


2 can overtake with an oncoming vehicle?
yeah, he can overtake because he is still within his right of way. If he succeeds is another issue but the question here is who is doing a wrong overtaking.
