Blame the government for everything - blame the government for rickety tankers on the road, blame the government for reckless driving on the highways - blame the government for not obeying traffic regulations, blame the government when people disobey minor traffic orders but never look inwards to the road users themselves.

Even when the roads are as clean and neat as anything - reckless driving and disobeying traffic regulations will still persist.

@Seun!

Owning this site does not give you the right to talk bullshit.
Blaming the driver is a lot of bullshit. The blame rests squarely with the government whose duty it is to repair the road.
You know how much I pay in taxes? I am sure you wouldn't want to know.
I was in Lagos 2 days ago and that road is as bad as the road to hell!!!
So shut up if you have nothing better to say and leave the driver out of this.
No road should have potholes to dodge in the first place and if there are no potholes, then the driver wouldn't need to swerve and of course, there wouldn't be an overturning.
I don talk finish. I dey vex@@@!!!

Bad, Bad, Bad

Roads are crappy.
Drivers are not regulated, therefore anyone can drive, drunk, high etc,
Put those two together and the combination is deadly,
BTW there are potholes on sideroads in developed, but not on Inter-City Highways!!!

Its funny how some posters are saying that accident rates would not reduce even if the roadds were smooth. I wonder why we should assume this when it has never happened. (at least not in my lifetime so far)

looking at the state of our roads, why don't we hold the road construction companies liable for the substandard jobs they do? it's not all about dumping tar on a stretch of lane and calling a road. why don't the government (which is shady by the way) let these companies know that they are liable at least for a set period of time for the state of whatever they deliver. instead the likes of Kalu will be quick to run to media bragging about how much they've allocated to road construction when infact the state of the roads is nothing to write home barely 6months after commissioning.

Seun you are so disgusting with your comments. I guess your family has been feeding on crumbs from Obasanjo's table. how could you make suck a heartless comment. You chained the driver and unleashed OBJ. Think well my bro
