Insensitive comment .
Where will commerce and industry be without those trucks? What would our cities be like? Someone has got to drive them and in driving them accidents are bound to happen.
Fix culpability at the foot of the LAWMA truck squarely and not the truck.
Or did you think the trucks are designed to come to a screeching halt at the tap of the brakes?
Noooo.

SUPOL:
And it may interest you to know that most of d senior officers are learned colleagues 2. And for d upcoming artist, let his continue holding his phone as if his life depends on it. If u have nothing incriminating in ur phone y don't u tender it for search.
For those of us frowning at police searching ur bag, I don't have anything to say, wen next u enter God is Good and they stop u on d road for search ask dem for warrant u hear? One thing should know is dat wen u resist to be searched it raises suspicions. Kwantinu

In Nigeria, we use unleaded Regular and many cars require this grade of fuel. But majority of the other cars requires a higher fuel, premium unleaded. What do you do if you are faced with this problem? Octane Booster is your best bet. Many people still believe that we use leaded fuel and there are many new cars that is programmed to work only on leaded fuel and they are being sold brand new in Nigeria.

SUPOL:
Who told u that?
If a police officer has any reason to suspect u of any crime. He has d reason to search ur pockets, bags, phones and other belongings. Say wat u know please

I can understand why you are pained but truth be said Igbo products are one of the problem with our economy.

A brand new SUV for 2yrs should not be developing major Problems ok. I will rather buy a tokunbo car at a higher cost than buying an innoson car that will end up becoming draining pipe to my income on maintenance.

OBAnkemi:
My car is a 3.5L V6, 6 plugs, and 7-Speed automatic transmission. My fuel tank is 70L (.... I suppose!). I will upload 2 photos;
1. Kaduna to Sokoto (about 460km)
2. NNPC Super Mega (Gwarinpa, FCT) to Jos (about 246km)

NB; I do all my driving with the AC on. And highway speed of not more than 120km/hr, at least for both trips.

If you buying for pleasure it's worth it, if you buying for price you will regret it. Driving a manual in Lagos traffic isn't easy, you are not only concentrating you are also calculating
Clutch, change gear to move quickly depress gear to quickly brake, notice that most traffic hits of bumper to bumper it's mostly manual slamming into others.

Manual breaking record back to back

GAZZUZZ:
what are the low and high side pressures when a.c is turned on?

MPVGoddess:
Don't most accidents on Nigerian highways occur when someone left his lane with an under-powered car and could not complete his overtake and return to his lane before he was crushed?

That will be the next topic of my research with nairaland graphic accidents as my research source

uwajeh:
And you expect us to believe that the woman drives around with a baseball bat in her trunk?

These bloggers sef!

My brother you have three options::::::

1) You can man up and tell your wife and her mother that you are not comfortable with the way things are and that you need your privacy.(this option is not easy because you will have to face the 'wrath' of your wife or her mother or 'both')

2) You can get a male elder in your wife's family that is 'understanding' to talk to your mother-in-law to respect you and your wife's privacy(this too is risky because it can backfire if ypur mother-in-law takes it the wrong way)

3) 'OPERATION FLUSH HER OUT"--- make your home very 'uncomfortable' for her! Old women are superstitious so you can take advantage of that, you can start by dropping strange objects in the room she sleeps whenever she visits, you can arrange for strange noises to be made close to her window in the middle of the night, if your wife travels you can even go hardcore Nollywood on her, like pretend you are carrying out strange rituals in the middle of the night or just wear all white and be dancing azonto at odd hours and make sure she sees you

GOODLUCK MAN! DONT FORGET TO COME BACK AND THANK ME WITH COLD BOTTLES OF GULDER

Good day guys,
I noticed that the coolant reservoir of my car (honda accord 98) is at MIN level yet it's always full at the radiator. Now, iv checked for leaks the much I can but can't notice any.
My question is- should I just refill the reservoir with a new coolant, or o a total flush, or is there a reason(negative) for the low coolant in the reservoir?
Thanks for your anticipated contributions

Somatic:
Thank you all for analysing this incident as dispassionately as you should. For those who think my mother "deliberately" failed to produce the items prior to her booking, I wish to raise a few pointers.

When she called me about the items, I told her where to go get the triangle and the extinguisher. The triangle was located at a recess on the right hand side, the extinguisher besides the spare tire. The boot floor covers that. That's how the car came.

Seeing that she couldn't get around it, I told her to get any of their personnel help get out the items. They refused to take her phone. Saying they had booked her already. By then, she had found the triangle, but couldn't get to lift the floor board.

Upon getting there, I queried them as to why the rush to book seeing that she told them I was coming to get out the items as well as try going to the house to seek it. I asked them with their experience in vehicle matters, they wouldn't have pointed out to Mum where these things are supposed to be. Oga Emmanuel asserted that they were not obligated to do that. But they are obligated to fine her unjustly. She was wearing her seatbelt, her parking lights were on cause of the rain, she wasn't going fast. Her offense; stopping to be interrogated by the FRSC.

We are all service personnel one way or the other. If I "convincingly" commit an offense, sanction me appropriately. Not speculatively. Again, on realizing the error, they would have had two choices. Either cancel the booking or bear the cost of payment. And for option 2, I honestly was open to negotiation, after all who doesn't make mistakes? But to pay in full for someone else's error when I'm not Jesus? Haba!

I have decided on some action to take even as I appreciate the options given to me here. I am willing to explore all legal avenues on this matter to ensure that I be the last person in Kaduna and hopefully Nigeria this sort of injustice by the FRSC happens to.

I just concluded a similar case.
Write a petition against him.
Address it to the sector commander of your state.
Submit it by hand and get a them to sign on a duplicate that they collected it.
You will get justice trust me.

I had a crack on my wind shield that had nothing to do with my vision or the vision of anyone on passengers seat.
The crack was caused by an overzealous Police officer. I was begged to let him go by other officers.

For cosmetic reasons, I wanted to remove it. I already called the dealer and i was given a quotation and I showed the guy.
I showed him the bill I just paid for other things that were part of a make over triggered by the incidence.
He refused.
He booked me. I was furious not because of 2k. I was furious because I did not understand what he was meant to achieve with the booking. I told him I was going to court.

I drove into a nearby RSafety school and the officer there was like, did he ask you for money and you refused. He said I should go to court that it was malicious booking.
All the officers from other units that saw the crack were all like he should not have esp as I explained to him.
[b]One said I should go and pay and avoid the stress after all over 200 thousand people are booked unjustly everyday and they pa[/b]y.

I contacted the laywer who advised that the stress is much as busy person that I should write a complaint letter and see how it goes.

The summary is that the guy was brought to face me and he started lying and fidgeting.

The woman scolded him severely.

So just write a complaint and make your case clear.

It may take some time out of you but you will achieve one thing, he will never do that again.
Some of the guys out there are intoxicated by the uniform and the public has to stand up to them.

tete7000:
Sorry to say this: Fire extinguisher is a very important and urgent safety equipment. Imagine there has been fire, your mum would have needed to produce it in a jiffy, so it is an offence for her not to know its whereabout. It is not enough to have a fire extinguisher, it must be strategically placed for easy and immediate access in case of fire.


Secondly the FRSC in question didn't extort but gave an official fine. The money paid goes straight into government coffer.

It is an unfortunate incident but let your mum be conversant with where those items are placed before driving her car out. In case of emergency such knowledge might save her and her car.

noxide:
I believe u, I've been in that car going at 170km/h before. It was a sedan and I wasn't drivingdriving



Maybe the speed is limited

Danfuster:
apologies bro...that wasn't my intent, I'm just trying to set something straight.

For someone jumping to conclusion to tag me a German fan boy who can't argue with verified facts.

I'm a car enthusiast, I love this thread and definitely learnt a lot from here.

erico2k2:
Ok I take it no nails on the route,The tyres in my wife car do not last more than 2 years max, something must puncture and I hate patch so she just had to replace them with good threaded tyres

erico2k2:
So they do not have puncture in the whole 4 years, knowing the bad state of cleanliness on our 9ja roads,
In 4 years if you do not get puncture by nails or screws, something will tear your tyre, or some one will put 2much air.Im finding it strange you can use tyres for up to 4 years in 9ja

erico2k2:
Can you actually use a tyre for more than 4 years i n NIGERIA?
