Are you a driving maniac who is in love with over-speeding?.. If over-speeding and passing every other driver on the road is your hubby,.. I’ve got bad news for you. The bad news is these 6 disadvantages of over-speeding.

Disadvantages of over-speeding:

1) More fuel consumption

Cars are designed to be driven up to a certain speed range to get the best gas mileage. Therefore over speeding will lead to a higher fuel consumption. The higher the speed especially if above 120km/h, the more fuel the car will consume.

2) Increased possibility of accident

Crash, death, severe injury, manslaughter.. I am sure you don’t like the sound of all that. Especially on our Nigerian roads where we have potholes, jaywalkers, okadas, Danfos etc.. Over-speeding gives you a shorter time to respond to obstructions on your path.. Note: a fraction of a second can mean a lot of difference between life and death. Drive at reasonable speed or within speed limits for your safety and that of those around you.

3) Damage of vehicle

The damage could result from a crash, potholes you could not avoid, engine wear etc. Your car tyres also have speed ratings and could get damaged if you go beyond the recommended speed rating. Even if you argue that frequently driving your car at high RPMs does not damage your car, I am sure you’ll still agree lower RPMs are relatively better for your engine.

4) Air pollution

Levels of air pollution can be significantly reduced by less aggressive driving and by simply reducing your speed. Researchers studied air quality on some Amsterdam roads, where the speed limit was lowered from 100 km/h to 80 km/h, and found that levels of some pollutants were reduced by up to 15 per cent. This means you could be saving the whole world as well as posterity by not driving too fast.

5) Bad for your health

Speeding can increase your anxiety level.. this is okay if it occurs once in a while. However, wanting to be the road champion 24/7 could lead to chronic anxiety. This definitely comes with a bunch of health issues from physical health degradation to mental disorder.. I am sure you don’t want to go crazy with road rage.

6) It could actually increase your travel time

Sure, you can save 12 minutes by going 20 km/h faster on a 1 hour trip. However, this greatly reduces your response time.. and a single miscalculation can cost you the whole day. The great danger is moving way faster than the normal flow of traffic. You may be careful but can you vouch for other road users? I bet you can’t

Kindly add yours and let’s all drive to stay alive….

Drive safe.
Nice one OP

After overtaking every car, like a most wanted who just carried out a grand theft and is being chased by rivals, you get to a checkpoint and all the cars you overtook are right behind you in a split second. Then you wonder _what exactly is the Need For Speed?

I no dey cross 100/120 again mbok.

Lol.. That has happened to me a number of times.. The police officers can even park and delay the speeder while those you overtook would just have an easy pass.

It pains o _it has happened to me severally too. The look the other drivers give you when you're asked to park while they speed off is epic. Like "so your car get brake?"

Last I checked, cheese balls are not very strong. You have to be more careful, wear your seatbelt and maintain safe driving practices while showing you gat cheese balls .

YOLO at least die properly

I'm addicted to over-speeding....I even speed when I am down memory-lane.


Remember, something must kill a man.

Ok

Speed thrills but then, it kills.

Sometime ago, maybe around last year, there used to be this female moniker that was ALWAYS the first to comment on every doggone thread on NL. It's not Lady F but Lady F used to be pretty active then with her signature "it's Lady F again".

I think she was a masters student at ui at the time. Trying to remember her moniker. And get a hold of her.

The greatest disdavnatge is that, speed kills.

Nice one. I'm still LOLing at this.

Over speeding had no advantage. It rather has killed very many.

Death/ Accident scares me more than anything else

Nna see gamer hia oooo

I still and will always believe that 97% of accidents are due to over speeding...

Thanks.

I speed a lot cos I don't like staying on the road for long and I hate slow driving. However, I'm always very focused and alert when speeding. I don't take calls or look at irrelevant things on the road at that moment. My eyes move from my side mirrors to inner mirror and my front... The thrill of going past several cars at times could be a little bit exciting. If my vehicle isn't in a sound state, I wouldn't try that though. I'd just drive gently. I also noticed that I drive very fast and rough at times, when I'm upset. It feels like I transfer my aggression to the car...

Best highway speed on Nigerian roads is 100km/hr. My opinion though. Anything higher, you are on your own o.

I get amazed at the time difference between an over speeding and normal moving driver, its really not much. Not worth the risk.
