@blackbishop @dmechy @dru @radauto And all ..A quick one for you guys... recommended transmission oil for Hyundai Elantra 2007 (auto)

CheerfulGiver:
On highway, it's best to drive the car with cruise control. Depressing the accelerator to 100km/hr for example and engaging the cruise control makes the vehicle drive on electric alone, thereby saving more fuel.

I'm sure many people don't know what this control module and button does, not to talk of using it.

Am one of them, just discovered the cruise control few weeks ago and even yet to praticalize.... too many feautures in our cars that we don’t know or hardly use

Guys, abeg, what's the fastest way to increase ratings. My ratings just dropped below 4.5.. Just started hustle oooo, wonder why ratings be dropping

it’s normal in your first few weeks as you have few rides to your name ... a mistake or bad rating from one rider will affect it...just keep doing your thing, it will go back up

Gudvibes06:

May the Lord be with you...

I don't understand the rift about 200k weekly/monthly or the correlation with my predicament but with the attached earnings, I believe one can make btw 250-400k monthly, if one is diligent and hardworking without any police/lastma/vio/road safety issues. I would have made the same amount or almost yesterday if I hadn't faced the issue I faced.

It's well with everyone. We will be alright.

I'm at their Oshodi office

I hope they don’t have picture evidence of you if not, serious case as you will pay the initial money and might face other allegations

Barbiturate:
What a day! I picked someone from passport office Ikoyi to ijaiye(Oko oba estate precisely) and the trip came to 2500. Was so angry at the price, so I decided to go back to Yaba and I choosed yaba area trip destination. As I was going, I drove through the bridge and immediately I came down, I didn't notice I had entered a brt Lane. They stopped me and took me to their office at lamata ketu. They said it's either I pay 70k or face mobile court at Oshodi. I decided to face court, then they gave me a paper. It was already 4:30pm, so I said I'll go tomorrow. My car is parked in their compound. .

What a frustrating day! And to think that I was happy for making 20k yesterday, minus fuel.

This Lagos life is just frustrating I swear!

Sorry for theloss, may the Lord comfort you

pope191:
Lol, no one is asking u to change, let's just keep eyes on the goal without preaching hostility. I see folks here addressing another with disdain and to me it 's feel like, what's the difference btw the I have arrived drivers and the riders, like our ego is our only disease without a cure or what?

Yep u didn't mention me, but the essence of message is always to encode to decode and here is a public forum *smile*. Chucmoore is a good example that motivation can b pass without insults, but like u say, it's ur personality and good or bad is not really in my place to say.

Anyway: lost my mom this morning, kind of seeing the world from a whole new angle. Tempted to go drive, just to distract myself since I live alone, I don't even know what to do. So my nigga, it's really all peace from here.

How do one activate it?

Indriver now has a feature where you can set your preferred destination trip

Thanks Sir, will follow the advise... much appreciated

pleasureosondu:
Very well, my friend. I suggest you get a functional dashboard camera. In as much as it's present, it will greatly limit such illegal harassments as it'll serve as evidence. In fact, here in the FCT,
they let you go in as much as you're on the right side of the law or else, the victim will move the issue to a radio programme called Brekete Family Show (no one wants to be on that show when you're on the wrong side of the law). You may not be lucky next time.

Barrister kehinde akerele ... the man is a gem in Nigeria ... his office is wide open for complaints

Crvrider:
Please what is the directors name, he should be celebrated and his good name and deed should be put out there.

I didn’t know anyone oo... I just walked into his office and explained myself... all the Oga I previously called were telling me nothing can be done since they booked me already

BAZ001:
Hearing this for the first time. Did you call any Oga at the top to get to the legal director or you just walked up to his office ?
Can you just walk up to his office or it’s still man no man ?

I was on the left lane as I was heading left, I was harassed unjustly

northbird:
He mentioned traffic light going to Akilo.
The only working traffic light on Acme road connecting Akilo is at the acme /metal box road intersection.

So I assumed if he was heading towards Akilo. He should be on the left lane since he is going straight.

I Thank God, I have been able to get my car back without paying a dime.... thanks to the just legal director for lastma whose office is located at their head office in ilupeju... I went there this morning to lay my complaint, he summon the officers to come to their office with pictorial evidence of the offense I was accused of,
After waiting over 5hours with no sign of them, he got into in car and we drove to the yard in pen cinema, At the end of the day, the ticket booked was returned to the booking officer who will be paying it from his salary, An apology was tendered to me, my car tyre were pumped and I left there without paying a dime and the officers involved will be suspended....

“Never give up on your right, the justice system is still there “

AgentXxx:
Good day pilots, Injustice and Oppression seems to be norms in nigeria especially Lagos... yesterday evening around 5:30pm, while I was approaching akilo road via cameron road, at the junction where the traffic light was, I was approached by the non uniformed men who stopped and jumped into my car and claimed I was willingful obstructing the road which I didn’t as I was taking a right turn to akilo but two commercial vehicles did the obstruction but sped away when they saw the Lastma coming, Next thing I was told to drive to the lastma pen cinema yard and a ticket of 50k for obstructing road was issued for an offense I didn’t commit... please anyone have any help/suggestions that can be done as this is clear act of injustice ?

Some days we meet devils in the form of riders, other days we meet some who remind us that there's still hope left for humanity.

So yesterday I got a request. I called to confirm the PU location and the voice of the lady sounded so weak and frail. I felt perhaps it was one of those ladies with tiny voices. Got to PU and she got into my car. Greeted her but she didn't respond. It raised a flag in my head. I told her I was starting the trip and she just muttered Ok.

As I started the trip, Gmap told me the trip would last for 65mins. On our way, the lady was breathing heavily, visibly uncomfortable. She tried laying on the chair in different positions as I watched from the rear view mirror. I asked her if she was ok and she said she was feeling unwell.

All that was going through my head was, 'make person no come die for my motor o'. I was just running different scenarios in my head and praying. Whenever I notice she's 'asleep', I make a maneuver or brake sharply and that would make her open her eyes, and I breathe a slight sigh of relief and my prayers continued.

Ten minutes towards the end of the trip, she was fully awake but still visibly weak and she started giving me directions to her house as she lived in the interiors.

I finally ended the trip and the amount was N2,900. She ruffled through her bag and gave me N2,500. She told me that was all she had in her bag but she'll go in and tell someone to bring the balance of N400 for me. I said, 'no problem'. In my head, 'thank God say this trip don finish'.

I would have left the N400, but she said she was sending someone to bring it so I waited. I waited for close to 5mins and when I noticed no one was coming from the compound, I drove off.

This morning, I got a call. She was like, 'please sir are you the one that dropped me off yesterday with the navy blue Camry?' I told her I dropped her off yesterday but I drive a black Corolla. I told her she was obviously very ill that's why she didn't notice. She said that was true and asked if anyone brought money for me because she asked them this morning and no one seemed to have claimed to give me the money that was why she called. I told her I didn't see anyone and asked her how she was faring. She said she was better and apologized profusely for them not bring the money to me and told me to send my account details.

In my head, 'for just N400' Hmmm, that's interesting... I sha sent it, and she sent 1K.

Bottom line is, not all riders have bad minds. Always look for the good in people until they prove otherwise.

Had a similar scenario with a rider even though she made transfer of the full money.. Tool her from freedom way to Ago road... He wasn't breathing well and culled up at the back seat... I was uncomfortable throughout the trip that lasted over 2hours... My fear was just that if anything happen.. I even had to suggest we branch at an hospital twice but she insisted on going home...

Now the question " in case of a rider losing consciousness in ones car, what should be best line of action?... And if it leads to death nko?.... May God save us from such situation though

Nothing wey person no go see on top In driver... Check the picture below...

Newspaper suppose carry your matter

Ghost1994:
A woman forget 850k in my car on Saturday how did this happened?

Her son ordered bolt for her from vgc to marina. He didn’t sent her number to me just gave me code to type and told me to park at the pick up gate maybe he doesn’t want me to call her mother whatever reason though.

Well, I picked the woman saw marina but told her “ma’am I can’t park around UBA oh but I’ll park inside oando”

The woman flared saying that all drivers she has ever picked always dropped her at marina UBA because her leg is bad to walk.

I said to myself wahala 1.9 surge I’ll risk it but ma’am I’ll chuck my car for UBA gate so for you to quickly get down and moved on.

I forget to add that she had like 3 bags and she also sat at the back.

Hmmm getting to marina I ended the trip while descending the bridge before UBA trip ended with 7,800 mama it’s a card trip.

Mama replied thanks she horridly get down.

Me not knowing she had forgot one of her bag

It’s a long story I’ll try and go to the point…

Me got a request from same oando to admiralty thank god for life that the rider is a guy and sat in front haaa naso Gbege for happened.

Well I was getting close to Lekki Ikoyi toll naso my phone rang I picked and hearing a crying old woman voice…. Hahah mama please who’s this?

Mama: okomi please owo oja ni (it’s her goods money help me) I was like wrong number jare. Naso I end the call

Her son called that her mum was the one calling please pick it sir

Mama: please brother shebi you be Yoruba I beg you in the name of your creator with Yoruba prayers my bag is behind I forget 850k please help me I beg I don’t mind to give you something please. I replied with calm voice cos I don’t want the rider I picked to know what’s up.

Me: mama please go and stay inside oando kindly wait for me their I’ve seen your bag behind immediately I dropped my rider, I’m coming ma'am

This woman called me more than 30times at some point I lose my cool “madam it’s your money I’m just heading back kindly wait please now “ I was later mad at myself that I shouted for an elderly person.

Well getting to oando I saw the woman with all those agbero boys wey Dey pursue us whenever we come park and also that yellow chicken republic guy all of Em gathered already.

Gave the woman her bag filled with cash told her to count it. Which she offered me 10k but I told her MAAM ITS YOUR MONEY I CANT TAKE 1 kobo from that money ma and I’m sorry the way I spoke earlier.

Madam was so happy to the point she gave 5k to petrol attendant to fill my vehicle come see drama and cry of joy…

I reported a day after the trip

BAZ001:
That’s strange
They should return half of the money immediately and block riders account.
Unless you reported before ending the trip.

Hmmm, what do you suggest I should do?

Felicity001:
One easiest excuse used by bolt to cheat drivers of their earnings yet they want drivers not to be aggressive with their riders.

B4 that one week that complai ticket must have closed and even you will not be able to retrace the trip to or open a new complain again yet they'll tell you to report back after a week. What then is the sense in it?

odiman17:
Hello, please anybody with useful information about bolt.i. Have done my car inspection,driver verification and online quiz since on Wednesday,I have been fully verified.and am yet to be activated please kindly assist.

Send them a mail (uche) and state that you have done every then attach the inspection document..

Have done that.... They promise to refund half of the money in a week time

BAZ001:
Have you contacted bolt ?
it’s easier and faster to block riders account than calling them out. It was like magic when you block their account

Abeg make una help me oo... I carry one rider on Tuesday in the night... His fee was 1900, the network was bad so I told him to send when his network is okay but since Tuesday, e no gree send my money and e no pick my calls or reply messages this is his number 09020991210

Those ile owe/meiran police post go don dey arrange their barricade by 11:45pm... No make mistake pass there oo

Crvrider:
Some where around ikola road to egbeda. The guys where going clubbing and seriously needed to be there, I guess.

As for check points, a whole lot depends on the police and their mood. When the curfew first started, I was caught by aswani police, na 10k I use bail my car.

This Buhari self, the man doings dey surprise me. Are you guys sure he hasn't forgotten he announced a curfew?

They have forgotten oo..

Risky but that was what I once did... Make an idcard of the company to denote driver.. But you should inform owner before doing it in case you need to call him or you can find friend you can always call to act up as your boss...

Slickleo:
Ok 10x bro, but vehicle is registered as company use. Owners name is Mr first bank and me no b staff any way to bypass it

At which junction? How much?

Crvrider:
That is the problem with Nigerian police, we met just one police road block but they where only concerned with their rogger.

Ahh, how much una dey give them..

Pearl1910:
Lolz...every night is curfew nau.

You were close to my hood last night.. If I was online, probably I will have been the closest driver to it... Oga nightwalker .... What about Lagos state curfew??

Crvrider:
The other driver used a corolla but I drive a Honda crv. Not that it changes anything but since my glass is tinted I don't roll up the windows at night. The truth is that there's no justification for taking such risk but what will I do.

I am considering coming out tonight though, so if you see a Honda crv in your neighborhood, just know its me.
