Car TalkRe: How I Narrowly Escaped Vehicle Impoundment in Lagos by beardedboy(op): 5:45pm On Jul 19, 2021

How does following one way not put peoples lives at risk?

Besides I was a one way champion until This impoundment and auction ish started

I’ve come to realize it’s all about laziness and impatience else why follow one way
Going wrong way on a street where you can't even exceed 30km/hr doesn't put anyone's life at risk.

Lalasticlala, can we get more opinions.

I've Experienced this in other states as well. The traffic officers behave like ambush predators.

They wait for you to bite the bait then jump out of nowhere and pounce on you.

But trying to kill someone for driving against traffic is another level and I've never seen it in another state except Lagos.

Car TalkHow I Narrowly Escaped Vehicle Impoundment in Lagos by beardedboy(op): 12:13pm On Jul 19, 2021
Today I was driving in Lagos and suddenly I saw the car in front of me make a U-turn. I didn't take it serious then the car in front of me signalled to me to make a U-turn.

Before I could make a U-turn this towing vehicle was already in front of me. As I turned, the next thing I saw is the towing vehicle reversing straight towards my car at high speed. The speed was high enough to crush my car and and even give me and my passenger serious injury.

Thank God, I managed to dodge the towing vehicle.

Firstly, there was nothing to indicate that it's a one-way.

Secondly, this car could have injured me or perhaps killed me and even gotten away with it.

Thirdly, it wasn't even on a highway or expressway. It was on a local street, why put people's lives at risk in enforcing a "crime" that doesn't put people's lives at risk?

Now, I'm wondering:

1. How does the Lagos State Government justify this act?

2. Is this how the Lagos state government impounded all those cars they show on the news?

I have never seen anywhere where diversity brings peace.

All countries that practise diversity have too much racial tensions. Any small trouble each race will be pointing fingers at the others leading to distrust.
Stop this your nonsense rants. It's senseless to say the least. To be frank and factual, it's stupid and animalistic.

Conflicts are a normal part of every social interaction; from marriages to even the animal kingdom. It's how you manage it that defines your human and maturity.

thebosstrevor1:
If they praise you for your ethnic diversity know that one day, they are coming to take what is yours.

Diversity is a killer and a stealer. What diversity does is to take the opportunity meant for natives and give it to non indigenes, then you and non natives start fighting for resources and opportunities in your own land leading to ethnic tensions.

Those that praise the south west for diversity will never allow it in their land, go to their universities and ministries, only natives works there.

They preach diversity when they want to take what is meant for you and then preach you are not from here when you go to their own land to seek opportunity.
This is only true when natives are lazy bones. If you're hardworking then there's no need to fear competition.

Also, there are ways to favour natives without necessarily causing bigotry and hate. Go to UK.

I've always wished for that too. Our public transport system is full of unprofessional hooligans (to say the least). They lack understanding of basic safety, security, customer service, courtesy etc. They're unrefined lots.

Car TalkRe: [solved] My Honda Accord AC Seems To Not Work Fine by beardedboy(op): 2:07am On Jun 19, 2021
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and contributions. I just found the solution today.

First observation
I put the car AC in auto mode today and discovered that it chilled well. The auto mode basically tells the car to choose the best settings for the AC based on the temperature in the car.

So I was wondering what I've been doing wrong. The auto mode is chilling but when I set it manually, it's not chilling. That's puzzle number one.

Second observation
Another thing I observed is when I turn on auto mode, the car also switches to the recirculation mode.

Recirculation mode basically means that the car only recycles the air that's already present within instead of taking fresh air from outside.

Now I have a second puzzle; why's the car switching to recirculation mode anytime I turn on auto mode.

Solution
As usual, I went to check the car's user manual but found no useful info. The user manual is a great resource but it didn't have an answer to this particular situation.
So, I decided to check Google and here's what I found.

Why the recirculation mode is cooler:
Using the Recirculation button helps get your car as cool as possible when it’s hot outside and you have the A/C on. It recirculates the kind-of-cool air that you get from the A/C when you first turn it on, and the longer it’s on, the cooler you car gets until it’s as cool as the system can possibly be. (If your A/C doesn’t get very cold even with the Recirculation button pressed, get your car to the shop right away, there’s likely a problem.)

If you use Fresh Air – the air from outside that’s much warmer in the summer, the air conditioning must work continuously to cool the hot air from the outside when pulling it into the vehicle, so it’s definitely not ideal. You are also putting undue wear-and-tear on your A/C compressor and getting less fuel economy as a result.
Why the auto mode switches on the recirculation mode
I found this on a Honda forum.
Our automatic climate control systems will select recirculated air when it's safe and efficient to do so based on outdoor temperature, cabin temperature, cabin humidity, and desired temperature (it's much easier to cool 75°F recirculated air than 100°F fresh air).

Not all brands and models of vehicles give you a visual indication of fresh or recirculated air when this selection is being made automatically. Most Hondas do, but my Regal didn't and my brother's Colorado doesn't.

It's still Summer. When temperatures start decreasing in the Fall, you'll notice that recirculated air will change to fresh air once the cabin cools down and the outdoor temperature is more than about 4°F below the set temperature.
So, auto mode is choosing recirculation mode because that's the best for the present weather. Most likely, it will not choose recirculation mode when the weather is cool like during harmattan morning.

Bonus
Another question came to my mind.

Now we know it's better to keep the car in recirculation mode on hot days becayit reduces workload on the compressor, saves fuel and gives cooler air.

But if the car stays in recirculation mode for long how will it regulate CO2 concentration especially if there are up to three people in the car?


Short answer:

Most cars are designed to avoid this. If the car is moving forward, while recirculating or even with fans off, a small amount of air is exchanged.

Ask them to check the filter to see if it’s still good and not dirty . If the filter is okay then your car compressor is getting weak , manage it or buy another one ranging from 25-30k workmanship should be like 3k or 2k no let dem cheat . Tell them no need flushing na just to change the compressor and add gas won’t cost u more than 5k
Thanks so much for this.

Car Talk[solved] My Honda Accord AC Seems To Not Work Fine by beardedboy(op):
I just got a Honda Accord and everything seems to be fine with the car.

However, the AC is giving me concern. I always need to switch it to the highest before I feel the coolness.

It's my first time using a car with AC so I'm wondering; am I expecting too much from the AC or is there really somethingg wrong with the AC?

Does your Honda EOD or DC Air conditioner need to be turned to the maximum before it chills?

In a sunny afternoon, does your Honda EOD or DC Air conditioner chill till the extent that you need to turn it off?

Is it normal for the AC to make loud noise?

All suggestions and contributions are appreciated.

Personally, I think Nigeria has done well to ban btc. A country battling with cybercrime and embezzlement should stay far away from a cryptic system that makes it difficult to track the owners of wealth.
