Death Trap: Trailer Conveying An Unbalanced Cargo Container Seen On Road by AutoJoshNG: 11:26am On Oct 04, 2018


All the way from Orile to Western Avenue, this flatbed trailer bearing a container was this way.

As you can see, the container is not well fitted on the trailer and it’s not strapped. This is to tell you that there is no own tie-down devices or locks that attach the container directly on the flatbed trailer.

What is the fate of other road users around this death trap?

A very serious pothole can make this container flip or fall off. Hard braking and weight transfer can throw it off balance and you know the implications. A lot can be seriously injured or even lose their lives.

In as much as the authorities that suppose to put all these in check are not up and doing, we should be mindful of how we put people’s lives at risk.

This can also serve as a warning to other road users; if you see such, please do all you can to give them all the space they need. Ensure you’re no place near them. You might be thinking you can be smart enough to maneuver. Accidents happen so fast.

There are standard procedures meant to be taken before a trailer bearing a container can hit the road. Some of it include inspecting the container; ensuring it’s not overloaded and that it’s properly balanced.

Stay safe out there. Stay focus, be alert and concentrate while driving today no matter how knowledgeable and skillful you are.

The idiots that certified that unbalanced container to leave the port is like a quack engineer that built a 5 storey building with only 10mm rod

When it will collapse, only the occupants will be affected because he doesn't live there

The idiots released the container to go because they won't be on the road while it's on motion

Another disaster waiting to happen in Lagos

Dilapidated truck seen driving on the roads of lagos. Wondering why such a truck that is not road worthy is allowed to drive round humans.
It belongs to the dumpster and should be impounded
