I Intend Driving To The East With My Car For The First Time. by Cooolme: 10:57pm On Oct 21, 2022 |
Greetings everyone, I got a small vehicle couple of months ago during this ASUU strike that I've been using here in Abuja. Now I've traveled severally to the east on public transport and once with my personal vehicle but my dad's friend drove. I'll be going back to school and intend going with my car cos of the location of my school. My Mom has discouraged me from this but it's something I've always wanted to do myself. I know the road quite alright but I'll also be using Google maps since I've checked and it's very efficient. I just want to ask what will be required for me to be with aside my licence for this 7hrs journey and also considering I'm a young guy (20) to avoid police issues. |

Belteshazzar1:This isn't my first time traveling there, I've traveled to same state to and fro since 2019 and I use Google maps too which proves to be very accurate reason I'm not doubting it ,But it's not something I'll be fully dependent on as I've mastered 80% of the road. |

Go to a reputable transport company early in the morning, discuss with one of the drivers going to the east and tell him you'll follow him till you get to familiar terrain. The snag is you might loose him in checkpoints because as a young guy driving alone,you'll definitely get pulled over at most, if not all checkpoints. Have you driven that long distance before? It can be tiring and you might feel sleepy along the way. Make sure all your papers are complete and you don't have any incriminating stuff in your car and phone. If you can afford that car, hire a professional matured driver and pay him to either drive you or accompany you. Keep enough money on you to settle when necessary, otherwise you'll be delayed by checkpoints even if all your papers are complete. Make sure you don't have tints on your car. Overall, its risky and if you can avoid it, please do. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Belteshazzar1:Lol I'm not a driver. Was staying with a relative in the East, so I do travel often to see my parents and go back. What I meant is that when in the bus, I put in Google map and it's been accurate. You're very funny lol. |

cartwright1:Thank you very much for this, well I intend going to the park tho to meet with drivers so I'll know whom to follow on that day. My car is tinted, so I think that may be an issue too. Once again thanks. Or it seems maybe I'll have to hire someone for real. Cos I hate police wahala. |

It's not easy to navigate the highway for hours. Fatigue and lack of concentration might come into play if you are not careful. Get that your dad's friend to sit beside you just in case you begin to feel the stress along the journey, he can take over from you. No gra gra, and don't try to impress anybody. After driving for 10years, I still needed someone by my side to drive from lagos to imo state. Though he slept through most part of the journey, and I drove all through, but he was of great importance. These days I travel alone. 3 Likes |
