Someone had to pay with their own lives because a certain driver didn't want to waste a few minutes or hours to queue in traffic.
It's a bitter experience if one or someone close is a victim.

driving against traffic should be totally frowned upon but that doesn't change the fact that Lagos traffic law is too draconian

the law only affects the poor

you will not see very expensive vehicles of island big boys/men being auction

whereas these rich dudes are the master of one-way violations

thats because they went behind the scene and paid 1 million naira to collect their vehicle before auction. if you have 1 mllion they would allow you collect your vehicle before auction. na poor man dey allow him vehicle reach auction point

Let them face the consequences of their actions no Bleep to give

Is speeding same as driving against incoming traffick or you are brain dead. Are you Igbo ?

crafteck:
Let victim of political injustice, illgal police procecutions also talk.. One way deserves punishment but not impounding of vehicles. If victim of overspeeding vehicles talk, you go know sey na times 100 of this, should we impound all vehicles that go above speed limit?

An Uncle friend was also hit by a one way driver at Abeokuta. The driver hit him, his head went into the windscreen and maybe because of fear, the driver was still driving untill people cut up with him.
The man had to go through numerous surgeries and uptill today, he still uses crutches but the doctors said he would still be able to work without crutches.

we see them everyday especially bus drivers with the encouragement of passagers. I have withness one at mile two the bus driver escaped. It's common among bus drivers and they always get away bcoz the police are their mentors

Lagos should do what they deem necessary to clean up their state.

If you find them too harsh or repressive...you can always relocate elsewhere.

I personally dislike it for being so rowdy. So the Government is justified in its attempts to uphold law and order.

Have you ever heard about this Yoruba word, " Agidi talika ". The rich don't have time for all this rubbish one way of a thing. It's always the poor stubborn man that always misbehave.

Some fools are saying punishment too severe,na moto go kill them.

calso:
Later, other people will complain the punishment given by the government is too stringent?

One way drivers deserve all they get. We must all be law abiding citizens.

Most of all those complaining are notorious traffic violators

Come and disgrace yourself again please.
Since you no want get SENSE

Alphafeezay:
Breaking traffic rules is like committing murder

The problem is mostly with the government agencies. There are never clear signs on most one-way roads. Sometimes the security agents use these to set traps for drivers. Put clear signs then you can arrest and size people's cars.

forget them, I'm a Yoruba man from osun State, I don't support wickedness, Tinubu never become president, he blocked road for over 5hrs, nothing was done about it, nobody condemn such action, isn't that worse than one way traffic? What stop Lagos government from charge them to court, withdrawn drivers license, rehabilitate and retraining them. Must they create bad blood? Brainless people.

How much of the packages? And how for the three?

I can't WhatsApp you. I have reasons. Post price here please.

If the law is too draconian, what do you call killing people in the name of hurrying, impatience, etc by those drivers?

How can you prove that the law only affects the poor? Did you not read the news very well? Did you not see the images clearly? Please look and you will see SUVs.

Laws are there to bring orderliness. If you chose to run foul of the law, then get ready for the punishment that goes with it.

We're too linient with traffic rules in this country. If u see wetin Canada do my person early dis year for traffic offence you go cry. After collecting her driver's licence,they took her car to their office and parked it there for 1month. When she went there after the 1month to claim the car, they told her she's going to pay 50 dollars per day for parking space within their premises. By the time they added money for the main offence she had to pay close to 3k dollars. She wept like a baby. Kikikikikikiki........she was late for work and went to drive on the wrong lane to beat time. This things are taken seriously over there because it can lead to the death of another person. More than half of her salary that month was gone. Lol.......

This is a great comment on how someone was punished in Canada.

They quickly made her realize that Nigeria and Canada are 2 different places.

The truth is road accident will hardly occur if people obeys traffic rules. Zero sympathy from my side too!

Lagos State Government have paid some people 5k each to form stories.

RIP to the Dead.

One Way Driving is Bad.

We all Loss at the End both Victims and Car owners.

One ought not to be poor and stupid at the same time.

Any driver following one way must.have his vehicle impounded and jailed.

I don't condone one way drivers who brazenly take one way on highway and express roads...Danfo drivers and some recalcitrant drivers are culpable and the shower be dealt with but my issue is that some inner strets that are not conspicuously marked as one way is an avenue for extortion....Also another instance I encountered last week ßunday along Agege motor road after ikeja along inward agege trying to link Ashade and I must tell you that the major road was damaged and flooded while vehicles that tried entering the damaged and flooded road were hooked and their vehicle went off then other vehicles decided to pass the other lane for incoming vehicles which was one way in order to cut off the damaged and flooded portion and align back to the road meters ahead after the road demarcation.....so don't you think this particular scenario is peculiar

One way can only be used by motorist when there is construction going on in the road. Any motorist driving one way or against the traffic should be dealt with, ruthlessly!!!

Exactly.

That’s how the passengers in one bus were encouraging the driver to ignore me. I was warning the driver to mind my car as I was on my lane jejely. The driver too did not care until he broke my side mirror. The passengers told him to ignore me and he tried. When the wahala started the passengers all ran away abandoning him to his fate. The yeye driver then started begging.

Braxtoon:
nah so one nearly break my arm the guy even sped off.. the injury lasted for weeks but I thank God I'm completely healed now.. I feel no pity on them.. so many lives have been lost because of those drivers

I'm not supporting them. You musta lost guard while on the road.

Abizz:
Truth is, we are all guilty of this one-way drive.
May we just never be caught but if caught, accept whatever comes.

Not all of us are guilty please.

Most one way in lagos u hardly notice it . Like the ones in VI

There's this one way in gbagada facing express , if u are not familiar to the area u will never know . Another one way is at awolowo way near old ikeja local government , one way in the morning , no one way in evening

Another one is at cement egbeda near iyana ipaja , there's a bridge there at express from 3pm it will turn to one way , no one way in morning . Another one way is at GTB head office VI . U can never notice it unless u are familiar with the area . One again is at faguyi way rail crossing into ikeja GRA from oshodi express , u can never notice it too . Another one is at oshodi near MC oluomo hotel , u can never notice it

These cases are those caught on major roads, that's where you mostly find LASTMA and road traffic operatives. These days most one way route are clearly marked.

With due respect sir, NOT ALL of us are guilty of the offence.

If you know the consequence of taking one way and killing someone in the process, you Will never dare it.

Again, not all of us sir.

I fully support whatever punishment is meted out to one way drivers, if and only if that's the penalty attached to it.
