My pet hates with other road users:

Scumbags driving whilst using cellphones.
Scumbags driving with their main beams on.
Scumbags driving too fast and close to the vehicle in front.
Scumbags driving with young children kneeling on the rear seat, facing backwards.
Scumbags hogging the fast lane.
Scumbags straddling 2 lanes.
Scumbags driving vehicles with dead engines, choking others with oily smoke.
Scumbags abandoning their dead vehicles on blind corners.
Scumbags driving with their hazard lights permanently on.
Scumbags driving too fast over bad roads, throwing loose gravel backwards.
Scumbags driving without their seat belts on.
Scumbags driving, and tossing cigarettes and other litter out of their vehicles.
Scumbags who brake harshly, due to non-anticipation of the road ahead.
Drivers being scumbags.

scumbags who drive slowly but when u want to overtake dem, they zoom as if they just wake up from sleep .... grin

Hmmm...guess all my peeves are pretty much covered above. To summarize things, the ultimate jerk will be the dude that comes up behind you on the outer lane with his highbeams on, tailgates you at 120kmph for 30minutes and then overtakes when you reach a single carriage way--- only to drop to 60kmph 'cos big man has to talk on his cell phone. Then he remains like that, right up to to where he double parks in a crowded lot; the cherry on top of the douche cake.

I am hopeful this guy is fictional, but if he does exist, im pretty sure theres a special place in hell for him; one that he'll be forced to do 200kmph on a rusty Vespa within the mist of demonic truck drivers all hopped up on meth and amphetamine!! grin

Impatient Drivers; You drive up to a hold up and wait behind the car in front of you then all of a sudden one bastarrd 007 that feels he is too important will just overtake, drive against traffic, other minions will follow and they'll block the entire road especially at intersections.

Pedestrians; this one is really annoying, roads that have side walks, people will leave the side walks and be walking on the road.

Taxi guys : On busy taxi routes u had better stick to the speed lane or u'll stoping and moving with them, cuz the way those guys swerve and stop to pick passengers is annoying.

All na hustle we dey

There was a day I was in the car with my dad and brother, and this driver was just forming formular1 with his Danfo.
My dad- eh! Omoale! (Eh! Bastard)
The conductor replied- ko ni dafun'ya yin lona orun.(May it not be well with ur mother on her way to heaven)
I was lmao with my brother, but the look on my dads face shows he did not find it funny. I still had my grandma then.

Often times, car owners get frustrated by other road users. Driving on Nigerian roads sha; na wa o!
My top 5 are:

1. Keke riders coming behind you on high speed when you are turning, and your trafficker is clearly on. They end up bruising your car. Out of every 10 cars in Delta State, 6 will have marks of white and blue on their sides (colour of keke in Delta State)and bumpers.

2. Roads normally have speed lane and slow lane. It is very annoying when I see people driving slowly on speed lane. Some will even drive in the middle, blocking every chance to overtake. You have no choice but to hoot and drive behind them; women are mostly guilty of this.

3. When someone drives recklessly in front of you and you try to correct or caution them gently, they scream, shout at you and insult you. So annoying.

4. When someone overtakes you, they look look at you spitefully as they speed past. I wonder why people do this

5.When following someone on the road, they suddenly make a turning without notifying the drivers behind by their traffickers.

In that case delta road users are civil. You wan try lagos road users. A car can hit an okada man and before you say jesus is Lord the rest of the okadas will just come out of nowhere. They don't even want to know what happened, a fight will ensue in the middle of the road and then they will cause long traffic congestion on the road. The traffic warder or police might be busy in his own stand jisting with his fellow colleague and pretend like they didn't see the bike men who are fighting on the road or the hold up they have created.its even worse if you go and meet the traffic warders or police. He might be busy eating amala ewewdu goatmeat even with a bottle of stout.if you tell him he will say madam don't disturb me I am eating

These Keke NAPEP or Okada riders whatever you may want to call them are specially selected for this job by having a unique combination of a subhuman IQ and a death wish. As a more intelligent being, please exercise patience and caution at all times. Dont spend your hard earned cash burying those who have a death wish

2. Roads normally have speed lane and slow lane. It is very annoying when I see people driving slowly on speed lane. Some will even drive in the middle, blocking every chance to overtake. You have no choice but to hoot and drive behind them; women are mostly guilty of this.

Don't blame them blame the government, experience has shown them that potholes occur in every lane so just drive in the lane with the least potholes whether it is fast or slow doesn't matter, shock absorbers are expensive. Also not everyone behind the wheel is intelligent enough to drive sensibly

3. When someone drives recklessly in front of you and you try to correct or caution them gently, they scream, shout at you and insult you. So annoying.

Well nothing gives you the right to be your fellow drivers keeper, if they wish to meet their maker sooner than planned, it's their business not yours. Just get out of the way so they don't take you on an unintended journey


4. When someone overtakes you, they look look at you spitefully as they speed past. I wonder why people do this

Who are you to drive so slowly when they have an appointment with the emergency department at the hospital. They would rather be in traction and on life support than at work or home on a comfy sofa. Allow them their dreams, That look is a "mine is faster than yours" look. Just reply with a "my brain is smarter than yours look" or wave when you drive past them in a ditch

5.When following someone on the road, they suddenly make a turning without notifying the drivers behind by their traffickers.

How dare you complain? You shouldn't be on the road unless you're psychic damn it! besides they own the road as they pay more tax than you, not!

If you're even walking on the pedestrian road especially in that ikeja and surulere axis and even Baracks, and there's hold up on the way, okadas will start passing the pedestrian way and if you no shift for them, them fit climb your leg or even push you inside gutter and then if you say shoriran ni, the next answer is otiyawere. Koni dafun iya e.those okada drivers need heavy refinement. If hold up dey for road nko those commercial drivers go gum you for back because they don't want people crossing in between hold up to pass their front or okada. They will gum your back sotey your car will move to the front on his own and the next thing I will say is ori e ti daru, he will kuku reply that ori awon iyalaya e loma daru.those people ehen.them sabi cuss grin

@op, in traffic I once saw this dirty middle aged taxi driver get down from his beat up car with a pair of pliers and smash in the two side mirrors of the Corolla behind him. Apparently the young dude driving wouldn't get down to acknowledge that his Corolla nudged this taxi...sha he got down to assess the damage and promptly the taxi driver hammered his face in with the pliers! Almost took his eye out.
And the LASTMA guy at the light just dey film the scene, to upload on youtube or what?
People had to leave their cars to hold the taxi man until police came.

I think Lagos has the largest number of insane drivers. The bus drivers that are always drunk and the okada riders that always ply one way is another story.
You would expect drivers of private cars to have a little more sense but these people just aggravate the already hellish nature of driving in lagos.
we urgently need a working rail system in lagos.
