Why is the son talking? Why can't we hear it from the horse's mouth? Can't the father speak for himself? What the son is saying is all "hear say" ... inadmissable in court. I can see the driver being found guilty if this is going to be the basis of his defense. The brake failed .... that can be physically checked out and I want to believe the computer system will show if it really did. The truck illegally parked was stationary.... did not require any visible markings since it was mid day.... very visible from afar. He was overtaking when the accident occured ... does one be on the brake or on the gas when overtaking? One is more likely to be braking before overtaking... to avoid running into the back of the vehicle to be overtaken..... then hit the gas when it is safe to do so. Didn't he notice the brake wasn't working before he stepped on the gas? He's going nowhere with this defence.

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.

DrAda:
What is the bone of contention here please? You seem to be fixated on the duration the truck spent on the road. You acknowledged that stationary cars should be towed but argued that in developed climes, it may not be done instantly which is logical. However the fact still remains that that a stationary car must be towed.

This is Nigeria. That truck must have been there for several days. Why? Because that is the norm here in this country. We have no provisions to alert the appropriate agencies nor the resources to tow one, thus increasing the propensity of fatal road traffic accidents. Last year, we witnessed the cummulative deaths of 6 persons secondary to two vehicles ramming stationary trucks within a few days.

I am inclined to believe that you do understand me but for some reason you have insisted on pursuing this for reasons best known to you. If you get off on being right all the time and abhor contrary opinions, then I advise we end this tete-a-tete because my opinion is unlikely to change

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

DrAda:
I never said that. There were many confounding variables and that includes the truck. Blaming the driver entirely for the accident was wrong.

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

A perfect analogy is blaming a child with foreign body airway obstruction for not chewing properly when the food you gave the child was a meal filled with fish bones

So where does freewill fit into this?

I can swear that it was those road safety officials that stole AJ’s phone….

That’s why they are desperately advocating for Guns

Bimpe29:
Where there when it was stolen by the FRSC officials?

If Nigeria was a serious country, a qualified auto-mechanic would have been brought to take a look at the vehicle to ascertain if the brakes actually failed.
That said, except the driver was on high speed he would have properly negotiated to avoid the truck or he wants to say the steering wheel failed too?
What I see here is that the driver sacrificed the passenger side of the vehicle to escape death.

BBAthechasepix:
In all of this, how does the seat-swap explanation help us? We are concerned with the people who died in the accident, not Anthony Joshua, who survived. That part of the story is a stupid distraction that does nothing to explain the cause of the crash or the deaths. It mocks the dead and looks like an attempt to cover a motive or prove that there was no motive, when motive isn’t even in question.

Secondly, of what relevance is the driver’s reaction in steering the vehicle when the excuse is brake failure? If the brakes failed, what happened to downshifting to lower gears or using the handbrake to stop the vehicle?

Lastly, you cannot plausibly be driving your employer and a VIP like Anthony Joshua, for that matter, as if you are in a rally. This is a question AJ himself needs to answer, especially considering that over 99% of Nigerians are bad drivers lacking training in defensive driving.

The truck was off the road. How did your father go all the way off the road and was driving behind the truck that he had to swerve to miss it? Was your father drunk? Before mounting defense, try study the scene first. Only someone making illegal driving maneuvers and driving very fast will have such accidents.

When you are coming from a very cold weather, moreso if you have lived there for months, even the AC might not be enough sometimes.

JibolaUsman:
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.
