A traffic law in Germany states that all vehicles whenever there is a tightened traffic, should stay at the edge of the road to create a space at the middle of the road for emergency vehichles.......

Can this ever happen in Nigeria?

For where?
This Nigeria or another one?

You dont believe it can work?

I believe it can if there is an enacted law made for it, and there is a good.law enforcement agency to enforce the, law, and a stable and fast judicial system,to interpret the law and punish offenders....

we all know we only have trending things in Nigeria like the seat belt compliance, in the long term all this ur aforementioned measures will softened down and drivers are back to their old ways of doing things

Even if we have the enabling laws for immediate adjudication and deserving punishments, uniform organisations like the Army, Police, Navy etc including law makers & political appointees will abuse it thereby weakening the system.

Provided some individuals are stronger than the system, it would never work. Until such a time our laws, no matter how trivial, applies to all, and in all circumstances, it will never work.

If laws are used in the perspective for which they exist and people can’t operate with impunity irrespective of political or social standing, then, it can.

Provided people are respected by virtue of their wealth & riches, political associations, social status and so on, it will never work.

And finally, until such a time when an average Nigerian respects constituted authority by obeying traffic lights, parking in designated areas, disposing wastes appropriately, falling in line to obtain services and using pedestrian bridges where they are available without the need for coercion; only then can it work.

good points, like a friend opined offline that only yellow danfo buses will be the only offenders forgetting that the mentality of an average Nigerian private drivers is wrong

give them unlimited one year fuel and Nigerians will comply

but it can happen in a new Nigeria
