The Toyota is not at fault but normally these our guys with new cars forget their cars have break while driving. Many didn’t even bother to learn anything about driving.

He was obviously speeding.

Primary fault is from the korope driver while secondary fault is from the Toyota driver

muhmeen:
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 driver saw those nuisance and still drives into them.

Dtruthspeaker:
Which cars did you see on the expressway in that video?See, you need glasses and you clearly don't drive

Lol, Bro you blind oh, no enter steering with this kind eye. Look well please, if you don't see the cars blocking the road as enough reason to slow down then you are the one that really needs glasses.

Oga at this point any good driver would have slowed down, and experienced good driver would have slowed down before thsi point to even start with.

See, no vehicle is ON THE ROAD. The scant vehicles are parked in bush median.You obviously don't leave your house so you don't know what an expressway is and means. Plus his speed is low. Go and do this nonsense in front of hummer bus and see if you would even live to talk

So the "Korokpe doesnt need situational awareness" when turning abruptly on a high speed road, and against traffic abi?

MarketDispatch:
Situational awareness...the driver did not pay attention....you don't speed past a bus stop...he could have slowed down and drive past at a safe speed

Vehicles that are parked in the bush median is what you are calling "blocking the road"?. You need glasses bro plus, you need to get out of your house.

You need glasses bro plus, you need to get out of your house. There are only at most 3 things we can call vehicles and none of them is on the road

The bus is wrong but you were speeding

My almighty God p××ish that commercial bus driver 🙏 I hope he paid the full price of the damages caused by the accident?

Government supposed ban korope, but people go say Government no care.
They're so reckless, you see them blocking the highway just because they want carry passenger.
The way the korope drove in the video, same they do everywhere. Maybe because the bus is small,they feel they can manoeuvre at anytime

All these people talking about braking obviously no sabi drive or just learning. Your speed was reasonable and not "too much or high" on a highway with open clear road ahead. it would have most likely been a sole fatal accident for him by pressing brake so suddenly at this speed. It would most likely make any Toyota vehicle and any other light car make and model tumble or veer off the road. Unless it's a Lexus or BMW with very heavy balanced body. In Toyota Avalon's case. You can't safely break enough to avoid this accident the commercial driver caused. And I'm sure like any sensible driver OP would have brake at that point but not enough to bring the car to a stand still. Which would have been very risky and dangerous for him, Possibly fatal. You people should Stop using ideas all the time, experience matter 100% of time when it comes to driving a car.

First of all what's the poll saying, there's no Lexus here. Its only Camry and Danfo. Secondly, Nigeria needs to update driving teaching before license, private car and public driver differently.

Always practice defensive driving. Where was the Avalon speeding to? Anytime you see this busses always be ready for anything

Dtruthspeaker:
See people who have never gone to driving school talkless of owning a car judging.

Even doing driver's licence test you would have learnt that driving on the expressway is 100kph and that Avalon is still at 60kph

Because the speed limit is 100kph doesn't mean you should do 100kph. Many people don't know talk less of follow the highway code. Especially commercial bus drivers.

Claiming right of way on the highway have taken many to meet thier creator. When you see a mad man approaching you avoid him for your own sanity.

They are all wrong.

Many Nigeria drivers and car owners are very reckless like the Bus driver in this clip.

And very impatient like the Toyota driver in this clip.

Werey saw the reckless driver from afar and has all the time to slow down,

But of course, he thinks he has right of way... But he has his own fault in this case.

In essence, both of them lack common sense.

Na the innocent passengers I pity pass.

Dtruthspeaker:
Airbags deploy at speeds above 80kph

My friend stop saying that. Airbag deploy when there is appreciable impact. So if a car hit a stationary car in front airbag no go deploy. Haba

Do you even know what speed is? How’s a car going at less than 60km/h on a highway and fast lane speeding?

The korope na bad belle. Did he even trafficate

I stand corrected.(Heatd it in documentsry or so and I have never heard any opposition)

AI Overview
Airbags do not deploy based on a car's driving speed, but rather on sudden deceleration and crash severity.
• Impact Angle: Frontal airbags usually do not deploy during side-swipe collisions, rear-end impacts, or rollovers unless the vector of force matches frontal/side sensor triggers.
• Occupant Presence: Passenger-side airbags may stay off if the weight sensor detects an empty seat or an underweight child.

You are very correct but you see when traveling it is right of way that rules, if not this same thing and worse will happen and this time and then the guy would be at fault. And my annoyance is that the guy was not even speeding yet...

God abeg ooo.

Danfo didnt indicate before changing lane

Lexus guy didnt do defensive driving

You no suppose near car at all.

I swear, I don't know why one guy just dey argue with me. Before getting to that petrol station, that guy suppose Don comot leg for accelerator since. You see cars for road, commercial vehicle fr that matter, crazy people wey normally no get driver license you still dey speed. Bacause what people are defending in this video we have a lot of inexperienced drivers on nairaland.

gayman99:
Both drivers are at fault. For God's sake, this is not an express. Why the speed?

are you sure you know what you are saying? Side mirror is there to check before entering road, and that man was not speeding it was the mini bus that came out without checking first.

Lithiumite:
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 the bus driver and Lexus driver are at fault. But I will blame the Lexus driver more because he saw the event unfold while the bus driver did not. The Lexus driver should have slowed down at that area and started sounding his horn.

watch the video well, you will clearly see that it is an express road.
