I shared this on nairaland sometimes ago.
Mine was around Oct 2015 along Lokoja-Abuja expressway. Was going to Kaduna with a tokunbo 2001 camry from Lagos. I drive very fast and safely. I saw this lone flashy Prado with Niger state government house number plate and tried dusting the car as the driver seems not official..... Casually dressed....... The guy saw me from his high place in the Jeep and started matching my speed we were side-by-side when we got to a town along the road with rampant motorcyclists. I was on the speed lane and he was on the other side when I saw that a motorcyclist was on his lane ahead and thought I will lose him when he brakes but to my horror, the guy started navigating into my lane while pushing me into the little side space before the road separator with my horn blazing and my brakes crunching on the road. I was so close to having an accident that day, my mirror even scratched the separator. I was scared shitless but this fear transformed into raw fury immediately and after escaping this ordeal, I gunned the engine and overtook the Jeep to get in front and sped forward with him in hot pursuit to meet another car on his lane(all this while I was watching my rear view mirror) and he switched to my lane. Not minding what will happen to my rear, I took this moment to have my sweet revenge by slamming real hard on my brakes with both legs(something I never did before). I watched him swerve madly behind both cars and almost running off the road with his brakes screeching and navigating to the sidewalk. I really thought the Jeep would roll over and thankfully, we were clear of where the motorcyclists were plenty or else he would have killed people that day. I resumed my drive while the guy fell behind and I never saw him again till I got home in kaduna. In all my years of driving, I've never been more scared of my any incident both the one done to me or the one I did. I satisfied my rage notwithstanding.

diportivo:
if u live in Lagos and drive constantly u go road rage by force

who doesnt want to stay safe?

one mumu will sha piss u off ni

iv done too many that none stands out.....but,only yesterday I did some badass maneuvering for some yeye lacklustre delta state traffic enforcement ppl who wanted to apprehend me for passing one way.....those guys are learners....and very foolish I must say

Sometimes, some people just piss you off.
Last year en-route to ebonyi, I overtook a Honda baby boy. The driver for some reason decided he was having none of it and decided to run me off the road. There was no pothole, there was no on coming traffic. It was just sheer wickedness. I was carrying my family. I was mad. If I had not anticipated his moves, I'd have ended up in the bush.
I recovered, gunned it and crossed him at a police check point.

I was deflated when I realised it was a middle aged man.
I rained curses on him.
The policemen settled the matter and we went on our merry way or so I thought.
This dude started tailing me.
I made a few calls and led him towards the police station. When I slowed down to spring the trap, he realised his folly, reversed and disappeared.

He got lucky. Lane violation makes me mad and Nigerians are so freaking fond of it. They just can't maintain lanes.

kingreign:
I don't engage in road rage. It's needless, it's risky. Safety first, safety always!

uboma:


With your Toyota Camry 2001 model, you were no match with the Toyota Prado Jeep.

While on the road, it is safety first for me.

Jagermeister:
There's no way you can't have road rage; whether on the freeways or in the streets... normal level...

All the world over, no be only Nigeria... you'll leave your house in good spirits, two minutes tops, mood don cast!

Tell them oh . Some days, e go be like say some people are actually driving to annoy you.

As I do remember too ( don’t know if this counts as road rage sha). In a hold up in town, one guy was trying to prove being a smart driver by pulling his very neat Honda civic hatchback (Hausa boys likes keeping their small cars extremely neat in and out, like it was a cult or something back then) into the little space by my side trying to force me to give way for him. [Unknowing to him, it was that same day I had paid for panelbeating and painting of my car as my guys do borrow my car a lot those days and the car is becoming too rough for my liking due to the scratches on the car and I had was driving the car home because I hate the level of discomfort in public transport so the panelbeater can come pick up the car the following day]. I knew I was supposed to stop for the guy but he just threw his face the other way feigning ignorance as if he didn’t do anything, I refused to give up my space and I felt it immediately our cars touched and he looked at me, I just threw my face the other side too and scratched the whole length of his car for the few meters I had space in front of me while grinning ear to ear . The guy jumped out of his car very surprised to survey the damage while saying ’Guy nawa oh, you for give me chance naa’. I just throwey face. I hate people who claim like say na them smart pass.

Can the 2001 Camry do 180km/hr sir? If yes, what if the Prado driver don’t want to do more than 160km/hr? Will I be a match in my 2001 Camry if this is the case? Besides, the Camry was in a good condition as it was just brought in Toks

uboma:


Can you also tell that the Prado Jeep was not in pristine condition?

uboma:



Yes, the Camry can do 180km/hr.

The next question is purely based on assumption. What if the Prado driver was willing to even do more than 160km/hr? Do you think it's a feat the Prado Jeep cannot do?

banky3w:

What I’m trying to make you understand my is that irrespective of the car in question, the most important factor is the driver. There are some people that cannot handle speed or people that have a speed threshold that unless it’s a life and death issue, they won’t pass their limit. I know my 4 cylinder Camry isn’t a match for a V8 Prado but if I’m willing to do even 160-180km/hr in my Camry and the prado driver sees 140km/hr as overspeeding, I would have the prado for breakfast.

uboma:



You cannot rule out the condition of the car. It is as important as the state of mind of the man behind the wheels.

banky3w:

With this your statement, I GIVE UP! I know your type.

So a Honda cannot pass a Ferrari on the road if the Ferrari is just cruising with the top down and the driver taking in the scenery and the Honda doing redline for whatever reason just because the Ferrari is a fast car by your logic.

uboma:



Give up already. Does it look like I care....?

I pointed out that your Camry 2001 model was no match for the Prado Jeep, you twisted your argument.

Again, you downplayed the condition of the car in question, emphasizing on the state of mind of the driver. I pointed out the condition of the car is just as important as the state of the driver.

If you have issues with understanding simple grammar, it isn't my fault.

I did what I said I did. If it was you that was driving the prado Please do come tell me. I don’t know why you have an issue with what I experienced.

I downplayed the condition of the car blah blah blah........ I like your sense of being entitled to my explanation like I owe you one......... Please continue

I have experienced a Honda city 2005 or so trying to beat me in an Avalon and while toying with him, I saw he was driving dangerously and I had to stylishly let him pass and keep pulling ahead. Was the city a match for the Avalon? Did he win?

If you feel the Camry was no match for a Prado, na you sabi as it is your own opinion and you’re entitled to it.

If you have issues with simple comprehension, that isn’t my fault either.
