Driving Etiquette (part 1) by merrywheels(m): 7:39am On Jan 31, 2018
Driving is an ''Art'' mastered with experience over time,so also should driving etiquette be learned.
Listed below are some unnecessary things we do as drivers.




1. Honking behind a pedestrian. Yes honking at a pedestrian is not only rude but also presents a seeming confrontational stance of car to human challenge.
Do you remember that feeling when you have a trailer suprise you with a honk from behind on the highway?Though women hate this attitude far more than necessary,the auto industry says no too.





2.Expecting people to run at pedestrian crossings. Its actually the pedestrians way but he let you use it. So next time be calm.




3.Flashing your full lights in a neighbourhood street. You drive into a street filled with people with your full lights on, driving ethics demands you dim those lights.




4. Encroaching on pedestrian walk ways. Simply explained,dont inconvenience the pedestrian by driving into his walking space.



5. Indiscriminate Spitting out of the car window with a car behind.



Driving mastered,ethics learnt, happy driving people.

Mr. Man, if you want to practice this nonsense driving etiquette, you should relocate to North Amerika or Europe.

1.) If you've ever driven along Mushin or Ajah axis (Between VGC and the Jubilee Bridge), you would realize that honking at a Pedestrian is even underrated. We should even be pouring hot water on the Pedestrians so that they know that you do not walk sluggishly when crossing a freeway. Little wonder 1 got knocked down at exactly that point a few weeks ago while the driver fled.

Ambode should construct a Pedestrian bridge at that point but the bastard with his ninja turtle head is rather pre-occupied with increasing the Toll Fares.

2.) So the Pedestrians should be walking majestically & sluggishly when using the Zebra crossing because it's their way? Have you ever had an emergency where you need to get to a destination within 30minutes?

3.) Look, I usually drive with my lights dim but when other motorists (especially women) driving in the opposite directions with their full lights on - beam their lights on me, I don't even hesitate before going into "full lights-flashing competition" with them. cheesy

4.) The Pedestrians should also stop encroaching on the Lekki-Epe & Lagos-Ibadan expressways, else they'll keep getting knocked down. They should use the Pedestrian bridges.

5.) I have never done this before but I wish I could try this 1 day especially when any of the Nairaland Mods pushing "Big Brother Nigeria's threads" to the front page are driving behind me. grin cheesy grin

Have you ever met 3 people walking side by side on the road?


2.Expecting people to run at pedestrian crossings. Its actually the pedestrians way but he let you use it. So next time be calm.

I've seen pedestrian crossings at the widest or lowest part of a slope and I'm like who is the person that put this here?


3.Flashing your full lights in a neighbourhood street. You drive into a street filled with people with your full lights on, driving ethics demands you dim those lights.

Correct, but with the rate some rogue children run across narrow streets between 6pm and 8pm, you sometimes need to honk at intervals in addition to the lights on dim and reserve the high beam as payback for those who don't know it's wrong to drive on high beam.


4. Encroaching on pedestrian walk ways. Simply explained,dont inconvenience the pedestrian by driving into his walking space.

How many roads are even wide enough to comfortably take 2 cars drive side by side? And then with all those who trade or park vehicles on roads.... Pedestrian walkways are almost nonexistent.


5. Indiscriminate Spitting out of the car window with a car behind.

Some people are just.... And throwing out trash too.
