for those dreaming to own bicycle

dem too get rules? na wa for 21st century ooo

Animals?

Truth be told, the number one cause of road accidents in nigeria is the lane lines which we dont have on our roads.
Those white lines are there for a reason, you are required by law to drive in between those lines which is your lane.

In nigeria, the lanes they know is express lane and service lane. Smh, what a joke of a country.

When you change lane without signalling, you will get a ticket if a cop is nearby.

The yellow line at the center means 2 way road so you know other cars are coming.

I will recommend a compulsory 1 year minimum living in the US or UK before you should be allowed to head any FRSC senior positions.

If this had been in place, these sets of local champions would by now have worked with law makers to make laws that further protect road users.

In the US and UK, you can drive a car for 10 years without a scratch, in naija, before you get home from the dealership, one danfo driver would have helped you rub brake oil on your car

Talking about bicycle, you can ride on any public road around the world except highways.
And all these pettiness and detailing of how one should ride should be dropped already.

No wonder Manchester United sack Van Gaal because of commmon sense.. in the article, they referred to bicycle not bikes. There is a difference u slowpoke

This isn't for Nigeria o

Shewww this rules apply more to Okada riders and keke Maruwa riders because they're guilty of this nauseating behavior of reckless driving and driving on pedestrian roads and even inhibiting pedestrians from crossing the road

Those riders are being followed by FRSC truck and none of them have mudguard let alone painted white

(b) ride a bicycle of which at least 0.228 metres of the lowest part of the rear mudguard is not painted white on the outside

Nigeria and stupid laws.

I guess I would have to paint my rear mudguard white

My local bike path. Better than 75% of roads at home. #Sad

I was carried by a friend in the UK on their roads. I saw all the lanes and asked her in surprise, 'how come you have all these lines? We don't have them in Nigeria". She replied, "we have them because they're painted there".
-
So we cannot paint in the whole Nigeria again?
