Sometimes I wonder how people behind wheels obtain their drivers license in Nigeria... Do you do the test (theory&practical) Do you even know the highway codes and stuff or you just walk into the license place and pay to collect your license |

Nigerians don't give a fvvk about Zebra Crossing. I stopped behind a car at a Zebra crossing. The next thing a car bombed into me from behind. The driver started shouting, that I marched automatic break. The damage on his car was massive, at least he would spend #50K to fix it. People around came and insulted the guy, I was too shocked. I just entered my car and drove away. My car did not have much dent. |

In the 80s there was a lot of media sensitisation about zebra crossings. So adherence was pretty high. But these days, how many zebra crossings de naija. Most have been washed off, and Govt no send. I can count the number of zebra crossings in abuja, despite its rich network of roads. Another factor is the prevailing use of traffic lights. The modern ones come with pedestrian lights too. |

AfroMighty: I think you must be generous to say 80% know nothing about the traffic/highway codes. I would say 97%. And that is because there is no assessment of any form before the authorities issued driving licenses. Not even a check on the physical or mental ability. No wonder there will always be high rates of avoidable mishaps on the roads. 1 Like 1 Share |
