I wouldn't call myself a very fast driver, but, I hold my own. In 2018/19, when I was still doing contract driving jobs, I drove a woman and her kids from Ibadan to osogbo. On the way, I saw a BMW 5 series in front of me, having faith in the v6 evil spirit, I increased my speed and overtook it. (I later found out a woman was behind the wheels). The thing sweet me. cool

Suddenly, it started looking like the BMW was gaining. She finally leveled up, but, before she sped off, she looked at me with one yeye smile like this and off she went! cheesy grin shocked. She went away so fast I doubted my speedometer. grin You know when you are on 110/115 and a car overtakes you like you are on 60kmh! angry I was so angry! I wanted to chase, but, I was reminded that, "na inside Honda we dey o and that's a 5 series BMW in the hands of a wicked woman". grin grin. I just took my L in peace.

I respected BMW more that day and I certainly feared women more! grin

Guy speed kills. I still want to be seeing u here. U are not the only person on that road. Any small wood go make you lose control. You can't do any reasonable manoeuvre with that speed you can only turn slightly

Well, well. Highest I have experienced was 379km/h like 30 years ago. I thought that was enormous.

About 4 years ago it was about 450km/h abi na 451km/h!

Well, I was on French TGV both times! grin cheesy

Apparently, It can travel way faster than that even. The speed is shown on an electronic boards scattered throughout the train.

Shebi OP didn't say it must be travel by road or in 9ja only. grin cheesy

This driver did 190km/HR with his GOLF...
Abuja Kaduna express way 2016...That was the day I fear Golf, that car is a speedboat on land...

Abuja to Kaduna is almost 2hrs drive but after 1hr 15minxk, I called my Uncle that I'm now at home he couldn't believe it...

Second experience, when me and my bro was running away from some perceived kidnappers along Kawo, kaduna airport road in 2018...we blow 180km with Toyota Camry 2013 model...!!

I think I know the why because I have been there... The car suddenly became light @140km/h and very unstable, can easily swearve off the road to the bush if care is not taken.

You can drop your (why) point as well.

All of the above you mentioned, plus fear of the "HONDA SURPRISE" is the beginning of wisdom.

I think the guy exaggerated it somewhat; electronically regulated speed limit for that VW Phaeton, 12 cylinder, 6 Litre Engine with 420hp is about 250kmph.
you can't drive 250kmph on any road in Nigeria.

Anyone who told you that they drove such speed on any Nigerian road is a very big liar

I heard in the past that when FRSC catch them for overspeeding, they take them to the office where they are forced to watch a gory documentary on bloody accident scenes and emergency scenes at hospitals. They get sober after a few minutes.

Based on my own brand of car, Lexus GS 350, the speedometer is in miles, i.e when I’m driving at 100, cars on Kilometers will be around 120 or so, but I usually do 120 which also amounts to 140KM on other vehicles.

shocked i de read well so? Oh so na una dey form Paul walker for express?? Ah! Ah! una well done oh, may someone here not be referred to in past tense from the excitement of this thrills y'all getting.
I do not own a vehicle but the highest I did with my leggediz benz is 10/15km. Life is too sweet to end even in the midst of rising costs, low income and uncertainty.
When I get mine, max speed will be 100km, feels better taking in scenery than blazing through like Flash. When I no be electricity or light bulb. Happy new year everyone. May your tanks be full always this 2023! shalom

Mine was the day I boarded a bus from Lagos to Owerri. I sat at the front seat number two ( the VIP position) at a point when we approached Benni bypass, this driver started doing 165km/hr.

My uncle once told me that anything above 125 km/hr is death sentence.

I had to point the speedometer for the driver to see, and he was laughed it off and told me to forget that thing.


Another experience was when talking a car to Lagos from Owerri.

The driver I paid to drive me was experienced. We arrived that same Benin, and this guy did 210 km/h, it was like the fuel was zapping and the exhaust sound was light.

Dem no born any other car make e pass us, but I was surprised to see a man in his Hyundai passed us.

I guess that one was doing about 240 km/h.

I had to tell him to reduce and not cross 120km/h and above.


Share your experience and advise to people who would want to do that one day.

I advise drivers to lower their speed. Speed kills.

The first one happened in 2016, while my second experience was in 2019.

Even on smooth paved roads with proper inflated tires I don't do more than 140km/h the vehicle vibrates and braking takes longer. Talkless of doing such in Nigeria where people don't wear seat belts.
