BoldBrainz: I don't think there's a right or wrong answer, just follow ur instincts and hope u are right. It is possible the person that put this expects u to run through it and might be waiting for u about 1-2 kn away when ur tires would have already gone flat. It is also possible that there are more spikes up ahead, in that case u will definitely get immobilized by the other spikes. Reversing? It is possible the person expects u to stop and reverse, so by the time u are stopped to go into reverse he has already put spikes behind u. So honestly there's no right or wrong answer. Follow ur instincts. 3 Likes |

They are in the bush waiting for you to reverse. You might get shot if you reverse and if you attempt to speed off, they are hiding in the bush ahead. If you have experienced a highway night robbery you will understand me. The solution is off your engine, Remove your key and quietly enter the bush and take cover. 1 Like 1 Share |

I'll have to use the bush sides then but it's ever forward! BTW, I can perfectly cross those things without punctures. But I aren't reversing...cos if it's a trap, reversing is part of the gimmick. This road looks like Otupka road. |
Re: As A Driver If You Find Yourself In This Situation What Will You Do? by okoroemeka(m): 8:28pm On Aug 03, 2023 |
Bar1941:you think the boys that planted such elaborate trap will let you turn back or reverse as if you are in a Sunday picnic party,they are behind you and in front,the idea is for you to stop but if you see such floor it ,crash over the obstacle and park far away when your tyres might have deflected and hide inside the bush till daybreak, never travel at night no matter what. 1 Like 1 Share |

First thing you must be use to the route,if the route is a common route I ply always, definitely I would have made my calculations of the next possible safer stop. With that in my mind then I can make two decisions either to climb the nail and run with flat tire to the next possible safer stop or I will reverse and move with reverse to the next possible safer stop from where I m coming from. All vehicles rim can actually design to carry a vehicle for some kilometers before the vehicle will loose stability and balancing. So with the flat tire still on the rim you can actually drive some kilometers before the vehicle will loose balance. Safety precautions: If you taking the decision to reverse you must be an expert in reversing to be able to escape any danger that might come from behind, because the person that did that blockage will definitely expect you to reverse.so you must be an expert in reversing actually not every driver do reverse with great speed cos is actually not common to be on reverse with speed . 2. If you climbing the nails, then you must be mindful of alot because climbing the nails means your front tire will definitely be flat. So if you are skillful driver you can actually use only one front tire to Carry the nails while the rest tire will be intact but that depend on how you can swing your steering in drifting. It actually safer if only one front tire get flat,the remaining 3 can actually plunge you to excape with speed than if more than 1 get flat |

Almiron: Something similar happened to us in the 1990s when coming from Ondo. Around Ijebu Ode, our car went over tomatoes and peppers along the road. One of our tyres got punctured and we were compelled to park and change it. Where we parked, there were 3 other cars too whose tyres were being changed. A man from one of those cars came to meet us. This man was shaking faster than a ceiling fan and he pleaded us to act as one. However, once his tyre was fixed, he zoomed off. Another car soon zoomed off. It was now left us and another car, a Vboot that was behind us. Once we changed our tyre, my dad had this fantastic idea. Guess what it was? He said we should help the vboot family behind us. So, we reversed a bit and we started helping them. Suddenly, we saw boys with machetes coming out from the other side of the road with a frightening war cry. They did not carry guns. My dad instantly fled into the bush. The owner of the vboot did likewise, leaving his wife and sister. I was left with my aunt (my dad's older sister) and the driver. When the robbers got to us, they started attacking the driver, trying to pry the keys of the Mercedes Benz 230 (na 1980s model, I no use am pose) but he refused to let go. My aunty who had laid on the backseat to hide some valuables was pulled out and slammed to the ground. I have to be honest, I'm not sure if they took any money or valuables. Meanwhile, where was I? I just stupidly stood there saying to myself "Since I have no money, they won't be interested in me." With detached eyes, I watched everything. Funny thing is that they did not bother me. As for the vboot ladies, the robbers harassed them and stole some valuables. One was a clothing material that I had never heard off at that time. The robbers disappeared as soon as they came. Once gone, my aunt started wailing, "abuo mi, abuo mi, abuo mi!" as my dad was taken long to come out from the bush. This literally translates as "my younger brother, my younger brother." (In the Ondo dialect, there is no R). My dad was like the pillar of the family. All her children at one time or the other passed through our house. My mom had even seen a letter her daughter had written to my dad stating if my dad hadn't married, he would have been able to help her. My mom was livid but never voiced it. This was when they were a struggling couple in England in my dad uni days. Anyways, my dad eventually came out from the bush and the vboot owner as well. We went to the police station to file a report. The sister of the vboot owner was very bitter over her stolen Hollandis and she blamed her sister in law for it. She didn't seem grateful that her life had been spared and with no injuries sustained. We left the police station and restarted our journey to Lagos together. However, they increased their speed and vanished. Our Mercedes could not catch up with a Vboot. Bunch of ingrates. People who we sacrificed our lives for. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Reversing is exactly what they want you to do. They also expect you to slow down. What they're not expecting is that you plowed into the bush on either side without slowing down much. |
