Light78:
Mine was the day I boarded a bus from Lagos to Owerri. I sat at the front seat number two ( the VIP positive) at a point when we approached Benni bypass, this driver started doing 165km/hr.

My uncle once told me that anything above 125 km/hr is death sentence.

I had to point the speedometer for the driver to see and he was laughing, telling me to forget that thing.


Another experience was when talking a car to Lagos from Owerri.

The driver I paid to drive me was experienced. We arrived that same Benin, and this guy did 210 km/h, it was like the fuel was zapping and the exhaust sound was light.

Dem no born any other car make e pass us, but I was surprised to see a man in his Hyundai passed us.

I guess that one was doing about 240 km/h.

I had to tell him to reduce and not cross 120km/h and above.


Share your experience and advise to people who would want to do that one day.

I advise drivers to lower their speed. Speed kills.

The first one happened in 2016, while my second experience was in 2019.

HeartlessMan:
Over 600km/h.
Numerous times.
Air Peace airlines.

ibkayee:
I never do more than 70mph (technically the legal limit over here but people still do more)

Be careful, you are not the only people on these roads

Chaos14:
Lagos-ibadan express 180KM/h

nurey:
300km/h
VW phaeton
6.0L W12 engine
Abuja kaduna highway

Limiter removed, lost 2 tires after the stunt, they melted prematurely.

buygala:
210km per hour.. Early 2022

2010 Accord V6..

Airport Road Abuja..

Was late for a flight to Lagos for an interview.. Some girl fvcked me to stupor, making me sleep like the dead.. Woke up barely 40 minutes to take-off

Na so Abosede for kill me


And no.. I won't try it again..anything above 140km/hr, I no dey do.

Whenever I see people doing such crazy speeds, I wonder whether they have given any thought to what might happen if the vehicle bursts a tyre at that speed, some critical suspension part like ball-joint fails, or some big animal runs into the road, or for some reason they have to do a quick swerve...

The quicker we realise that vehicles, no matter their age and how well maintained, can disastrously fail at any time, the better for us..

And the worst thing is that when tragedy befalls these people doing crazy speeds, they hardly die alone from their stupidity .. They almost always take other innocent road users, passers-by with them.

Risky

Did you at least make the interview?

Oga dis your zobo is too chilled.

An average F1 car does 300km/h and they are equipped to not take off. How did your rickety VW remain on the ground @ 300km/h comrade?

Fremantle:
Car was just bought, that was during the Covid-19 pandemic, decided to take the minivan for a spin along the Abuja keffi rd, then the road was still ok.

Vehicle - Toyota Sienna

Speed - 160Km/h (100mph)

At that speed I could feel the van lift off the ground like a plane about to take off, the steering wheel became soft and the van somewhat responded more to the path of the road than me holding the steering.

Second case was a Peugeot 206, a car in front of me (Corolla 06) was running and I took it upon myself to catch the guy (bad idea) all my effort to meet this guy seemed fruitless at every stop and go, so when we got to a long stretch of road, and a bit of calculations i had to push the poor 206 to meet up and eventually pass this guy. I lost the two front tires and the passenger side suspension (not immediately tho) cause during the overtake, the car steering wheel started to shake violently.

Vehicle - Peugeot 206 (Manual)

Speed - 150km/h

The Peugeot 206 is an old car (13yrs Old) and has been ringed once.

Will I ever reach those speeds again, I don't think so especially in a Peugeot 206 car, car is damn light to run at those ridiculous speeds.

you never chi chomching
