Move to gear one and straithg to gear 5 , the car will jump the trash. Or use and brake on speed 140km/hr and the vehicle will face back and speed on

You always have to look ahead as a professional driver.

Jump am with speed, tubeless tyre will still take you for a reasonable distance!
Tubeless will sustain u if d object is still stuck to d Tyre, but I think dis one is likely gonna pull

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.

At this point just try to make sure at least 3 tyres are save if you can swerve well.

If I got tubeless tyres then no qualms because as soon I try to maneuver through and it hits the tyres,with my tubeless it can carry me a long way on full speed before stopping.

Me, I will pass it but the only obstacle there is the bend ahead, because if you over bend the car you may tumble.

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.


This is the dumbest thing to do.. no one should listen to this ideaa.. lol, its even worse being on foot

They have already position themselves at the back and in front after that nailplank. Only option is to see if you can bypass through the bush and speed off hoping you would not get hit by bullet. I am talking from experience.

kingthreat:
Whatever you do, act fast. Speed matters.

abatically:
I don't think there's a right or wrong answer, just follow ur instincts and hope u are right.

mabeni:
They are in the bush waiting for to reverse. You might get shot if you reverse and if you attempt to speed off, they are hiding in the bush ahead. If you have experienced a highway night robbery you will understand me.

These posters and a few others 'get it'.

You never know how its going to turn out for you until you are living the nightmare. Some posters here have given us detailed "engineering drawings" grin of how they'll go over the nail studded planks, veer off into the bush and back unto the road again, reverse without stopping, swerve right and left (at the same time!) etc. grin

You never know how it'll turn out. The goal (of those who set the planks) is to get you to stop the car - and everything is configured around this. For starters, some kidnappers/armed robbers would put the planks after the curve in the road where your headlights won't pick them up until its too late...while some kidnappers/armed robbers will place them exactly as shown in the picture in this thread. If your driving skills are top notch and you get past the planks at high speed, some armed robbers will turn their attentions elsewhere and wait for other victims...while some armed robbers will spray your fleeing vehicle with bullets - with the intention of killing everyone in it. undecided

Few things will test your nerve more than staring down the barrel of a rifle or an automatic weapon on a dark lonely road, knowing that your life is literally in the hands of the person with his finger on the trigger. I know this because I passed through this and lived to tell the tale.

You never know how it'll turn out.

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


The problem with this is they might be waiting at the back cuz they know the first thing that will come to any driver's mind is reversing. So, they will stage at the back and also at the front waiting for their preys. In that case, you need to reverse very fast with full speed.

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,

Turned off ignition,

Initiated central lock and light up wisdom leaf.
( Story for another day )

That was all it took to divert them off

etc.

Just avoid driving at night as much as possible.

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

Exactly but do not also forget, they want your tire flat so they are nearby observing.

I heard a man talk about some kidnappers moving zouma rock to the road spiritually or something like that just to make someone stop. I’m eager to here your story, you might be saving lives.

So what should they do then military expert,
The best will be to reverse a distance they make sharp turning to the opposite direction...

The problem will be if the person is doing caterpillar turning there...

That's why its always advisable to use a very good tires. Like Mechelen, firestone, Dunlop etc. They can climb on those torns and nothing will happen to them, till you get to your destination. undecided
