Can You Drive In Lagos Metropolis Without Using Your Vehicle's Horn For A Month? by Untainted007: 11:49am On Sep 06, 2016 |
Driving in Lagos city and its metropolis in the midst of commercial drivers popularly known as 'danfo drivers', the amatuer private car owners tagged as 'I can drive myself' and the tricycle also known as 'Napep' is not an easy task as people in other cities in Nigeria have always give kudos to Lagos drivers, some even vowed that they can never reside in Lagos not to talk of driving on Lagos routes. I had a thought about it this morning while driving down to the office if people can actually drive in Lagos without using their vehicle's horn in a day, month or even drive a car without any horn at all. Even with your horn, 'danfo drivers' never care to look at if you are coming or not. I gave it a try at a time when I had little accident with my front bumper leading to damage of my horn, I could not bear it beyond 24hours, because it made me to be so at alert, and be thinking every commercial buses is going to hit me due to their unchallant attitudes while driving. Here comes the question if any body can boast of driving in Lagos busy cities like Mushin, Iyana Oworo, Ketu-Ojota, Ajah axis, Ojodu berger (Beneath the bridge), Agege - Pen Cinema, Orile etc without using the horn for a week at least or a month? 1 Like 1 Share

it's a bad driving habit to blare horns indiscriminately, one of the reasons we fail driving tests outside the country. Unfortunately Lagos is not a normal society, a lot of impatient drivers, it is possible to drive without blaring horns only when the horn is not functional in lagos 8 Likes 1 Share |

I used to think it was impossible but it's quite possible; I drive for weeks without honking. It takes extra patience/tolerance though; plus person with right of way oo, plus the one wey no get right of way oo...you just give them space to prevent any fender bender- or worse. Like the op said, you just stay a lot more alert, cos these Lagos drivers are maniacs. |

No need for horn overseas, been years since I used mine. But side note the worst drivers in the US are usually immigrants Asians, Mexicans, Indians, and yes some Africans |
