I will speed over it provided my tyres are all tubeless. They will get me to safer place before they flat.
Not possible

You must have "run flat tyres" to be able to escape this

Too much movies don cover ur imagination
southsouthking:
O.P in a situation like this, when you get to the spot, just put off your headlights, throttle the vehicle as if you're zooming off, quietly come down from the car and quickly move away the one that's the main obstacle.
Watch out for either torch light or vehicle light, if you see any torch light, quickly take cover on the bush depending on the direction the light is coming from.
If you see no light, quickly move back to your car, central lock and zoom off.

Easier said than done.
But if your heart is at your back, be rest assured you're free.

They wont go flat immediately provided you where on speed when you climbed it. I have been in such situation before from oyigbo to pH. It was when I get home that night that the tyres got flat

it's night time which means you wont see those spikes until u are very close. it's an highway which means you will be driving of 60km/h and won't be able to stop in an instant after applying the brakes.

As a professional driver, what would you do if this was the only way to your destination?

Me: I will reverse asap, go and look for a hotel nearby to pass the night. Life is so precious, what if they pop out from the bush with Ak-47 riffles. A lot can go wrong. The only option for me is to reverse and never look back. Eni ori yo odi le, Ire ooo
Very possible.
First swap towards the right.
Second, position the tires along the two small spaces one tire on each and move towards left slightly
Thirdly, zoom straight and after you pass , return your hand and control.

For clarity, see picture attached.

I thought someone will be wise enough. Reversing is the worst in this scenario. If you try reversing, whoever kept those stuffs will catch up with you.

This is the best way:

Put your acceleration at top speed and zoom off. Remember, the tyres will not lose air immediately, if punctured, especially if you're driving a tubeless. It may take you for a while or till you stop the car.

I will pretend as if am gay. Many people hate and avoid gays. So the kidnappers won't have any other other option than to leave me alone and let me pass

Top speed with one side of the wheel passing through the single nail bar and never to stop driving on top speed.

Bruh you can't calculate this immediately. The first thing that will come to mind is to move backwards with reverse on to speed.. Praying in your mind ,that they (thieves or kidnappers) aren't at your back already.. cheesy

Solution: Try to avoid long travels that require night driving through lonely areas as much as possible.

Long-distance drivers have seen worse.

Eggs thrown at your windscreen from nowhere.

What about human figures or animals appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the road?

Tree log obstruction?

The worst encountered was Headlights turning off without any technical issues, turned on touch light and it went off too.

I understand this to be spiritual,

I just lock the four doors and light up wisdom weed.
( Story for another day )

That was all it took to divert them off

etc.

Just avoid driving at night as much as possible.

I remember when I started my business, then I do travel often and it used to be night trips both to and fro.
One memorable one is when we got ambushed by some local vigilante that thought the cargo vehicle I'm in have ise/ounje(i.e India hemp) inside it.
The driver thought they were kidnappers or thieves, I dey where I dey dey reason as person go take do am, imagine person goods and the person being attacked in a single hit.
Since then, I stopped following or traveling with any vehicle conveying my goods.

Omoh, night travelers see a lot of unexplainable things o.

Am climbing that cheat, they know you will reverse and they re hiding at your back
Re: As A Driver If You Find Yourself In This Situation What Will You Do? by psalmson001: 4:16pm On Aug 03, 2023
All of you saying reverse, ure missing it. The idea is for you to stop so they can quickly block you, and there is absolutely no way you will reverse without stopping first.

As for me, i will increase speed and drive over it with both hands firmly grabbing the steering incase of a blow out. I will keep driving like that with the blown tyres till the car can't go anymore.

Although, there is a very very tiny chance that the tyres wont deflate immediately, and i rather take that chance than to stop and reverse.

Reverse... Accelerate... All at top speed.

Then, U-turn the hell back to wherever you came from.
Re: As A Driver If You Find Yourself In This Situation What Will You Do? by Segzy19: 4:19pm On Aug 03, 2023
I will never reverse because that is the aim of the people that set the trap. They expect you to reverse. Reversing a car in panic mode and on speed usually leads to accident.... By the way, the attackers would usually stay around waiting to attack.

So the best thing is to drive on it with high speed and keep driving not minding that your tires are flat or not. Do not stay near the area. The attackers would be nearby. Go as far as possible from that spot before you park your car and run off on foot.

Abandon your car, pick your phones and few valuable and run. Just to the nearest.police station, church or community......
