Abeg where u dey always drive go for 7hrs? You be tanker driver....

I love driving so much that when I was still in school at The polytechnic Ibadan I made a lot of long distance traveling from Ibadan to abakiliki, nsuka, Calabar (to and fro)almost every year for fellowship program at school and church program with bus and benz. It was then I knew that no other car is strong and balance for long distance traveling like benz..
During my service year (NYSC) I served as state transport and organising Secretary at Calabar,l also made many very long distance traveling like Calabar to lagos, Jos Ibadan (to and fro) e.t.c with fellowship bus. It was then I had exhorted the capacity of engine by running to the end of speedometer. .But I dare not try it again i have wife and children waiting for me at home.

During the day, I can be a very poor driver @ night

What is cruise control?

it is electrol-setting of car to accelerate on it own at a particular speed. but it is tempting for the driver to sleep for long distance traveling and the driver will not feel the car especially if you are driving a very good responsive car.

Its all about how confident you are with your driving. Just get to the particular speed you can control, watch out for onward traffic to know if the road is clear, and push the button! I use it mostly on my LR4 2014. I've tried it once on my Toyota Avalon, but i dont trust them Japanese or American cars.

How does that cruise control work? I heard it causes accidents so I'm always scared to tap the button, I'm kinda curious

After seeing most of the comments on this thread, i am beginning to have an idea why people die like chickens on roads in Nigeria. I have said this in the past; The fact that you own a POV or have a drivers licence does not mean you can operate it.

1. Before going on long journeys, ensure you've have eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.

2. Never drive more that four hours without at least a rest stop of 45 minutes in between.

3. Never drive long distances with the interior cold. It is better to have AC on heat to prevent you from falling asleep.

4. Never drive long distances without a co driver. This ensures you switch out when and if you start to feel drowsy.

5. Avoid taking medications that might make you drowsy before going on long journeys.

6. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated before and during your journey. This also ensures you take rest stops in order to pee.

You are welcome.

Number 6 is a bit complicated. From personal experience drinking lots of water @ room temperature induces sleep even when am not driving, so I would rather lots of chilled water; will still make you pee a lot & not sleep off. Like I said its a personal experience, don't know the scientific angle

From Lagos to Kwara, that's too much. go slow catch u for road?

makaveli902:

I have driven for 3hrs straight

highest i have done is 19hrs mars --> jupiter

well,it depends on individual strength and capability.for me,i started driving as early as 14 years and as at then, drove long distance,even after my NYSC, my 1st job was a driving job and it was a truck.most at times,i drove through out the night.with time,i fell in love with driving that it became my hubby and i enjoy doing it.to answer you,i can drive as long as there is fuel in the car.my longest drive is from lagos to kano then left after 3hours rest for maiduguri.

I have done 14 hours straight as an uber driver.

Lagos to Rivers ..Close to 10 hours Max..I did that 6 times and i vow never to do it again

thesicilian:

12hrs?! The day I'll do that ehn, I'll make sure the Guinness World's Records staff are on ground to video the event!

As in, I know a Range Rover has a lot of comfort, but didn't you fall asleep on the steering wheel?

on a normal day I hardly sleep. just like right now, I'm awake.

thesicilian:
Highest I've done is 3hrs: Lagos to Ibadan

Mine is from Kano to Osun state, Ilesha. About 12 hours cos of Okene traffic lock. Most times now, I do night, its risky but I travel in company of luxurious buses and catfish delivery buses. It's fun.

15 hours from Paris - Luxembourg - Cologne in Germany - Belgium and back to Paris.

After 4 hours of continuous driving you should really have a break for at leas one hour rest B4 you continue.
