Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by muhmeen(op): 4:59pm On Oct 20
The video, shared by user D3VID, shows a yellow korope bus pulling out abruptly as the private Toyota approaches near a bus stop, with a keke tricycle also colliding in the three-second chaos.

Opinions split sharply: some blame the commercial driver's reckless maneuver without checking traffic, while others say the Toyota should have braked sooner in the busy zone despite having right of way.

The debate highlights Nigeria's road safety woes, where speeding and poor habits fuel deadly accidents, prompting calls for defensive driving and better enforcement.

The commercial bus is clearly at fault for veering into the highway without properly checking for uncoming vehicles......this os very common in Nigeria, thats a highway and there is a particular speed you are supposed to move on,anything slower is wilful obstructed its a traffic offence.

Same as lagos where you will see bus stops on express road......thank God no one died.

Both drivers are at fault. For God's sake, this is not an express. Why the speed?

Driver didn't read the situation well, he shouldn't have speed towards it, always assume other road users are stupid
Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by nairalanda1(m): 6:19pm On Oct 20
Driver of the car.

One is supposed to be aware of one's surroundings at all time and to anticipate other's movements at all time.

The man started speeding self before he hit the keke and bus.

I hope no one was hurt.

The person videoing is at fault. Distraction caused by videoing.

Bus driver go collect wetin no good 💯
Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by Mckandre(m):
Using the side mirror could have averted this catastrophy,most if not all transport drivers don't know what its used for. The Toyota rider forgets say he dey share road with mad people and should have been vigilant and proactive.
Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by KINGSODD:
The avalon driver should have slowed down earlier since he was heading towards a busy terrain...the brake would have catched earlier, the driver lacked awareness. The keke bus driver was also careless.

He is not using a dashcam. Probably wearing Meta glass and filming whilst driving.

Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by Sheuns(m):
The number one menace in Lagos roads are those commercial buses.

From BRT to okada, they’re all from the same school of lawlessness.

To those of you shifting blame on the car driver. Look at that Korope that just entered the road, he had no side mirrors, which clearly means he never looked to see what was coming before he entered the road suddenly.

That is a highway express, possibly interstate..

The shuttle bus agbero driver is at fault. He is reckless and should be captured and given 24 lashes right there on the spot, and sent to prison for endangering people's lives.

The driver of the private vehicle should also learn to apply caution and anticipatory driving skills.

I driver interstate on a regular, when I drive, I don't have loud music blocking my ears and sense of reasoning. I anticipate every danger before they happen and never go above 90km/hr. This helps me maintain near absolute control of the vehicle and negotiate to avert dangers timely.

Sometimes, na who dey right dey die throway..

Na the KEKE fault...dont justify rubbish.

Doesnt the driver have eyes to see as he wants to cross an express road?

If it was a trailer will he dare it? He miscalculated the turning, instead of waiting for the Avalon to pass.

Ah! Its the kolope that is at fault. See the idi.. even went crossing the expressway
Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by Greattha: 6:26pm On Oct 20
OP What do u mean by dashcam? That's either a phone or ai glasses.

The car driver was recording hence the distraction

If it was AI glasses then he can escape the blame.

While the Avalon driver could have acted and reacted better, the blame is still on the bus driver for not watching before entering the express.
Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by Kalashnikov49: 6:27pm On Oct 20
Obviously an accidented vehicle. grin

Re: Dashcam Captures Chaotic Nigerian Road Crash Sparking Fault Debate by wellmax(m): 6:28pm On Oct 20
First this is not dash cam but meta glasses

Second, it is a dual carriage way speed limit exceeding 50kmph

The commercial bus driver is clearly at fault for not checking his side before launching into the road. Thank God there were no casualty.

He's on an expressway. That is why there is no bus stop on an expressay

The driver isnt holding any phone, he is using glasses, that is not distraction, the other driver is clearly at fault

The bus driver messaged up. You can't jam into a straight line of way that way.

If the bus driver is at fault then how do you say the Camry's driver is stupid?

I'm sure this is jealousy speaking
