There are two trucks, one is white and is on the left side. Good. Now, the other one that is NOT white that is on the right hand side is the one I'm talking about

Thank God for His mercies, I have been in this situation several times on that Oyo-Ogbomosho expressway.

This often happens when the trailer doing the overtaking is performing better than the one in its front while on a hill. The downside for you would therefore mean than you are coming down a slope.

I have seen a so-called driving instructor saying the official instruction is that you maintain your lane. But my brother, that is suicide.

Often times, you flash your full-lights and indicate that you are going right. Help yourself to the kerb as far right as you can go. Reclaim your route once the road is clear.

Too, sometimes your immediate right is a ditch or too deep for any maneuver. I have been in that situation too and had had to make a very quick dash to the kerb on my left. One particular time the trailer on my left practically stopped for me. 2 nanoseconds is all your life hangs on.

3. One Sunday morning coming back to Lagos on that same highway, same situation, ditch to the right, ditch to the left, was with my brother-in-law and his newly wedded wife, who was screaming profusely. I kicked the car to reverse. Luckily no vehicle was coming. Still ended up in a little ditch. My silencer was gone and my first gear began misbehaving.

This is also one of the reasons you need a smart car, not cars that will 'go and set up a committee' before responding to acceleration. My loyal dog, my darling Infiniti G20 (I called her My Barbara), I miss you so much.

Most importantly, I am forever grateful to God.

That was som quick fast thinking. Ditch on both sides has never happened to me but I can relate to these scenarios on several occasions.

I’ll leave the road for them. We live to fight another day.



As you can see, this one and majority of his gender would refuse to swerve. That is why they have fewer pictures of three generations. They will na say it is women (wives) killing them.

Whereas the main cause of their deaths are;
1) Coconut head.
2) Taking tramadol to knack younger side chicks.
This is so funny ������

Omo I will drive down with full speed, no be me go comot for road, I hate being bullied.

Face ya' fear.

You must have some samurai spirit inside you. That’s kamikaze.

I know you are joking though.

If it’s Naija road, the driver would swerve to the right and into the lawns. The truck driver must have popped some mkpurumiri. If this was in the Uk, Australia, India or east Africa(Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) the car driver would’ve been on the wrong side of the road and the truck driver on the left needs his head checked

Swerve hard to the un-tarred road on the right beside the yellow truck then get back to the main road once I see an opening in traffic. That way I'd still maintain my lane without causing a crash since the yellow truck is on the wrong lane

I swear I like this bros cheesy

This is why they say OVERSPEEDING KILLS for all parties, even you who's approaching them, if you were more anticipatory and cautious, you wouldn't find yourself that close to both tankers..you would have slowed down far enough, that's one of the many skills of driving, it's all about deploying your "Number Six" in split situations.

I repeat again; A GOOD DRIVER WON'T FIND HIMSELF IN SUCH SITUATIONS. Experienced ones though

I wanted to say this happens a lot along Ogbomosho/Oyo axis, then I saw your post. Your post is so true because I have been in cars facing this situation on a few occasions on that same road! I also think they harass private car owners more undecided

Its a no-brainer: swerve swiftly to the untarred road by the right. Good thing is that red truck isn't that close, so there is ample time to swerve. Let them both pass, then continue back on the tarred road

Look closely, both sides of the road has a river probably filled with sharks.
