I know for a certainty that I was alive in this era. This can only explain why the electronic guitar accompaniment and their hairstyles are giving me goosebumps.

Dear folks, so far, I've read two conflicting information from two different FRSC spokesperson on Google map.
The spokesperson who spoke from Abuja says it's an offense while the spokesperson from Lagos says it's not an offense but it could lead to distractions and that users should set it in motion before setting out for destination,
Please which is it?
An offense or not.

FRSC and Google maps

Nigerians love drama and ghenghen! We are often consumed by sentiments, sensation and drama.

That's why it's often hard to solve even the simplest problems and that's why minor issues get blown out of proportion.

One of the symptoms of this is our inability to listen and comprehend. We don't hear what's being said because our minds are blocked by what we think or expect the person to say. Our minds are also often blocked by sentiments like anger, shock, fear, pride, etc.

I had to caution my driver a few months ago because I was shocked by what he was doing. I couldn't believe that he was doing what he was doing and I couldn't believe that he was doing it while I was in the car.

This man held his phone in his right hand and was looking at it while driving. I ordered him to stop and his excuse was that he was trying to find the best route to take. I told him that I don't ever want to see him doing it again.


Now, there's an uproar because of an announcement that the FRSC has banned motorists from using Google Maps and that people that use it will be arrested. There's further confusion because of another announcement from the FRSC which a lot of people mistakenly believe contradicts the first announcement.

Here's the simple truth

As was said in the second announcement, the issue is not about Google Maps, rather it's about how you use it.

1) It is illegal for you to hold your phone in one hand and look at it while driving. That split second when your eyes are off the road and your hands are off the wheel could be the difference between life and death.


2) It is also illegal for you to punch in directions into your phone, even if the phone is mounted on the dash board. Your hand will also be off the wheel and your eyes will be off the road.

3) But there's nothing wrong if you programme your destination before moving and the phone then gives you verbal directions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Your eyes will be on the road and your hands will be on the wheel (it's just like listening to the radio).

So, you see, it's not about Google Maps, rather it's about how you use it.

Traffic in lagos is becoming something else. It keeps getting worse. Day by day.

So I'd like to know from your opinion, which between these two causes the gridlock in lagos:

Too many vehicles or Crazy drivers that hardly keep to driving rules? Your opinions

Can we just pause on bobrisky for a bit?
