The truck had little to do with the accident since it was stationary and off the road. Anyone who is a good driver navigates differently when they spot a truck on the side of the road on the express.

So if I'm driving and I hit someone on the pedestrian side of the road that person is responsible for being close to the road ?

You normally have a full 100 meters to slow down or change lanes. The only time judgement becomes impaired is under the influence of sleep, alcohol, hunger. We should thank God they did not hit someone on a bicycle on the side of the road or someone walking, off the road. And the story just keeps changing they say a tire burst today and tomorrow it's brake failure. One thing is certain the truth will come out.

You seemed to at the minimum infer so. Well, i have over flogged it, sorry good doc.

You misunderstand me. My issue is with you saying that no matter what, the presence of the truck is the cause.

I have told you severally that even if it was there for only five minutes, the same thing could happen and you would start blaming the truck when there is no where in the world where such can be evacuated in a nanosecond which is what your comments imply. You imply it should NEVER happen that a truck would be parked on the side of a road when it happens in every country all the time and provisions are even made for that.

All over the word, spaces are made on the sides of roads for broken down vehicles to be parked before they are towed if necessary.

On no planet are cars towed away within one second or instantly.

DrAda - Note even the driver's son says the truck was parked not on the road, but the side of the road.
But you will insist that it was all about the Truck!

A truck parked on the side of a road can cause accidents—especially if certain safety conditions aren’t met.

How a parked truck can lead to accidents
Reduced visibility: Large trucks block sightlines, especially on bends, hills, or narrow roads.

Sudden lane changes: Drivers may swerve late to avoid the truck, causing collisions.

Night-time risk: Poor lighting or lack of reflective markers makes the truck hard to see.

High-speed roads: Parked vehicles on highways or expressways are particularly dangerous.

Pedestrians & cyclists: They may be forced into traffic to go around the truck.


When it’s especially dangerous
No hazard lights, cones, or warning triangles
Parked close to a junction, bend, bridge, or hill crest
Poor weather (rain, fog, dust)
Roads without shoulders or lay-bys


Bottom line:
A stationary truck doesn’t move—but it can still be a major hazard. Parking heavy vehicles on the roadside without proper warning is a well-recognised cause of preventable road traffic accidents.

Are some "special" people able to create polls to their posts on Nairaland while others are not?

Or are the mods the ones attaching it?

I'd like to know.

You have no knowledge about geo politics…my mistake was engaging someone who took leftist propaganda seriously without thinking critically. Happy Sunday.

Kimo21:
You’re still replying out of emotion and sentiments and not being wholistic here.is trump the only personality in the file? If they say women shouldn’t be involved in politics you’ll be crying gender discrimination…I’m giving you realistic possibilities you’ve not brought any objective insight or even given thought to what I’m saying.I don’t know what you’re arguing about.Read my comment again. You’ve not held world power position to know what to do in this matter concerning those files . Sit this one out.

Kimo21:
Like I said you’ve not held such position to know what to do. Have you considered the fact that the files can have victims which are not meant to be disclosed and false narratives to be fact checked? Even the Tinubu I don’t like his drug related cases it’s not everything they released oo…just so you know. Don’t allow democrats personal hatred for trump make you to assume what you don’t know or you’re not sure of. Eipstein files is a matter that is clearly above you to make conclusions you’re not sure of.

Believeintruth:
Oga you no current sha. Files that had since been released that showed Bill Clinton. Baba focus on the current situation abeg.

Kimo21:
youre beginning to let democrat ideologies who already hate trump to get into your head. they hammer on the fact that him and eipstein were best of friends thats why he dosent want to release everything. he has already stated that he wasnt welcome around him or his businesses when he discovered that what eipstein was doing was illegal. eipstein files are very sensitive and youve not handled world power before to know that wisdom is required in releasing details of the documents at once.

BodyCount:
Y'all will continue to be daft and defend impunity at all cost because it has not affected you.
So for your mind now, USA is clean and they're the police of the world?
They can invade any sovereign country that won't have enough strength to fight back, bomb them indiscriminately, and kidnap their leaders indiscriminately?
Can USA dare do this to China or Russia?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT USA HAVE KILLED THIS MORNING IN THIS BOMBING?
If this was done to a Muslim country, you people would have been using the narratives of Islamic terrorists, right?
Just as you defended what those terrorists did to Palestinians, but you can cry that Russia is doing genocide to Ukraine...
Don't worry, karma exists... It'll one day be your turn and come to your doorstep.

Hello Doc.
You're recommending drugs, what about the side effects of such drugs?

APOPTOSIS:
U have rushed to medications suddenly.
Isn't that too fast?
As the scientist you are, why not critically look into his questions and approach them from factual end than the depressive reaction.
An overzealous clergyman would want to approach it from religious standpoint without critically looking into the concerns.
Don't those concerns bother you?
Haven't you at some point in life thought of things like that?
Did you ever recommend antidepressants or mood stabilizers immediately?
An unexamined life (where u swallow everything without reflection and self- reflection) is not worth living. This means you would have prescribed medications to Socrates, Aristotle, Aneximenes, and many more.

Those are critical questions coming from a critical thinker.
