Whoever left that there is around waiting for you try and reverse. Your best bet is moving forward.

If you're reversing on top speed they cant get you. Where do you want to move forward to and with which tires?

Whoever planted those things there expects you to stop & attempt to reverse.
So if you do just that, you've fallen into their trap. cool
in some cases, they are actually waiting for you to step out of the car so they can pounce on you.... Reverse mode is the only safer option here bro

This is the most intelligent and well thought response on this thread.

But I still think that might be the best or only option

There's only one option: reverse the car and race on top speed.


That's where you die.

The only opinion there is to flatten your gas panel and shoot forward at speed.

Your tires are gone but it will save your life

Had another scenario about 10 years ago.

I had a flat tyre along Gwaram, a town between Bauchi and Gombe.
It was around past 9pm but the roads were already deserted and again, it was during the thick of Boko Haram attacks and kidnappings.

I just got down from the car, and went to stand behind some trees by the road, none of the drivers passing stopped, after about 10 mins, I saw one of this heavy Trailers approaching, so I ran to stand in front, waiving frantically.

Typical nice Hausa people, the boys came down, helped me to fix my spare and I gave them a thank you N1k and we were both on our way

You know, sometimes it's best not to overthink certain situations.

If you're gonna be making night journeys over thick bushes with no resident in sight, make sure you have a gun with you.

When you live in a zoo, play by the rules. Be tough

Dont ever make the mistake of trying to reverse...... For me I will use a very high speed to drive through even if my tubeless tyre got punture...It can still sustain air for sometime....I repeat don't ever make the mistake of slowing down by trying to reverse

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.

It's the analysis with illustration for me. 😀

The idea of a gun came to mind, but in Nigeria, if you're found with a gun, you're either a police or a criminal.

I don’t know the appropriate section to post this, so I decided to drop it here. I saw the image and caption on Twitter.


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

What if they already envisage that you will reverse and another set are waiting for u behind you? There is no easy way out of this but follow ur instinct. I would probably want to reverse too but if I can quickly sight the bush side that it seems ok, I may want to take that shot!

God forbid you find yourself in such situation, I’m sure you won’t look for any bush side. Going forward won’t cross your mind, unless you be stonecold, or you get gun or juju

Sounds good o but before u can do that you need to reverse looking at the position of the car but then there is no guarantee that you back tyre will not step on the nail! There is no easy way out of it!

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.
Easy said than done
I wish you go bold do am
Armed robbers are smart bro
Its better you turn back to avoid story that touch
Re: As A Driver If You Find Yourself In This Situation What Will You Do? by barinedan(m): 4:54pm On Aug 03, 2023
Do a speedy reverse, as soon as I get to a reasonable distance, turn my car and zoom off
