banky3w:exactly. Smaller cars to me are better with speed. When I was using a coupe, I just needed to think it and I will be there. Very fast. Now with an SUV, i feel restrained. Just 100 and it feels like i am flying, where as with a coupe, 120 to 140 and it feels normal. 2 Likes |

I was engaged in one earlier today, I was in a race with this dude and I found myself doing 100mph (160.9kmh). I dusted him though but after a couple of minutes, I had to advise myself that it didn't worth it. I slowed down and allowed him to pass me! Say No to road rage guys, it doesn't always end well. 5 Likes |

uboma: Funny he was more than his match until the Prado tried to run him off the road, they were just drag racing & it wasn't a death match. The prado truck can't do the same stunts as a camry because of its much higher centre of gravity it would simply roll over. The only thing the prado had on him was weight/size 2 Likes |

Quite a few people here have been describing their road racing antics. That's totally different from road rage. Road rage is simply anger at what another road user has done and an action you took. Racing is different. Both are dangerous. 2 Likes |

Mine was around Benin - Ore road. The road is great, my car is fast so whenever I'm on that road, I'm always blazing... This particular day a Peugeot was matching my speed, I decided to play his little game by slowing down for him to catch up with me then I'll increase my speed again. Sometimes I'll slow down for him to overtake me then once he is ahead, I go back to 140km/hr and I'm ahead again. The road is very wide so I don't have to cross infont of him every time I overtake him, I just maintained my lane while he was on the other lane which will probably still contain two more cars. Maybe he got tired, maybe he got angry, I don't know but all I know is at a point when I wanted to overtake him, he suddenly crossed to my lane and tried to block me. I almost hit him from behind and I had to march my brake so sharply that my head almost slammed against my steering. It would have if I wasn't using my seatbelt. Then I got angry, I was tired of the game anyway so I sped up and was far ahead. Just as we were approaching the soldier checkpoint before Benin, I was about a few sec to the checkpoint so I reduced my speed, before I know what was happening, he ran into me from behind. I was so livid! I got down and wanted to slap him a few times then I stopped! She's a woman! The soldiers at the checkpoint came over, asked us to park well then called the FRSC just ahead of us. She started shouting that I started it by making fun of her car speed. The frsc official said 'madam you hit him from behind!, the moment you hit someone from behind, you're at fault! As long as his brake lights are working. They asked me to get in my car and march my brake which I did and luckily my brake lights are all intact. Long story short, we argued back and forth and the FRSC concluded that she was at fault, they asked if I want to be compensated but I rejected it. Her car was badly damaged anyway, Her bumper actually fell off while mine miraculously only had a few scratches here and there with a side of my bumper bent inward. The funny part about this is, we met at Benin again and even though I was kind enough to refuse any form of compensation, she was still raining insults on me. She said I marched brake cuz I knew she was coming. Come on, we were at the checkpoint! Will I run soldiers over? 8 Likes |

I read here and I laugh... The problem is that many don't know the capacity of their cars and they just race to their deaths How can you be racing with a Prado? That is stupidity! The car isn't designed for it! The grip and handling isn't there ! For heaven sake it's an SUV ! Many SUV aren't meant for speed ... Prado, Xterra and lancruiser with GL 450 Benz are high SUV... It's risky How can you use your corrola a 4 cylinders car to race a BMW 3 series with refined suspension or C Class AMG ? It's wrong. Road rage is wrong. I don't do more than 120k/h on a high way especially Benin Asaba way ! Why race! Also we must know our engine capacities and brake types ! Please stop road rage... I can't try that either 6 Likes 1 Share |

Would have said something if it wasn't going to implicate me,road rage is even worse in places like UK and US with good roads,there are a lot of lunatics on the wheel.a guy once brushed my back mirror and had the guts to show me his middle finger before hightailing it across the freeway,it took me a couple seconds to realize it was a race thing cos the guy was obviously white,I was alone in the car and also a very experienced driver too having lived in lagos and Ibadan for years so I had nothing to lose,I sped and caught up with him waited till our path was cleared and did a pit stop maneuver on the fool. 1 Like |

My experience will be the one i witnessed, Dad was the one behind the wheel and I sat beside him (passenger's side) dude was driving me to school that morning when of a sudden another car tried to enter his lane, and in the process almost bashed his car. lol dad would have none of it, and decided to track the car when he succeeded, he was on the other lane he lowered the side of my window and spat at the driver ewwwwww better spit ooo, and when the driver wanted to retaliate, I sharply lifted my side mirror and the spit was sliding down my side like okro, dad and I was laughing at the guy, this all happened when we stopped at a traffic light spot. It's an experience I can never forget. 2 Likes |

I laughed I mean the Mazda is 4 cylinders and you want to race with a 6 cylinders car with 12 plugs that's madness.. I looked at him and laughed. Just like trying to use Corolla to race an eClass or Lexus ES 350... These are v6 eengine ... |

Yeah! This one happened this morning by Aso Savings Junction Kubwa Abuja. I was heading towards Zenith Bank , Suddenly, I looked by my right side mirror ,a corolla trying to over take me from the right. A very narrow escape,almost brushed my car. I was wondering what could be happening,all the Keke Napep were struggling to give the corolla chance,the road was too narrow for the corolla. I said NO , there's going to be a disaster,I applied brake ,the Keke Napep gave her way, she zoomed off.i looked, it was a woman. She gave me the middle finger..I was amazed, what! I saw a little space between her and another car in front,one spirit said to me that is it..your time . Another spirit said, Nooo it's not worth it. I was very angry and same time confused.. Never met this woman before the incident,didn't even notice her corolla on my way until the incident. All the Keke Napep drivers went after her and she was like laughing.. I shoke my head and drove away. 1 Like |
