Danger! Horses On Lekki Epe Expressway by EnigmaticEnigma(m): 10:12am On Oct 20, 2017 |
There is a dangerous issue of horses crossing the road at night on lekki Epe. I actually crashed my car once as I tried to avoid a horse crossing the road and ended up hydroplaning, with my car spinning and spinning till I landed in the bush. I have reported to the police a couple times to do something about those horses, but nothing has been done. I went out last night and on a portion of the road that was poorly lit, all of a sudden, I spotted another horse crossing the road from right to left. So many cars almost crashed at the same time as we were all swerving to avoid the horse. Authorities must do something about this. A horses body is brown and blends really well with the darkness. So sometimes, a driver at night can't spot these horses until the car is already so close to it and the driver can then make out the horses brown skin. Something must be done to save lives, as a head on collision with a large horse is not something anyone would wish for. |

SalamRushdie: I didn't put it in my post, but I've actually hit a horse before on that same road. It took out my left headlight, but it wasn't a head on collision. Something has to be done haba, too many accidents at night on that road. I wonder if we even have animal control. The police must realize how strong a horse is. This isn't like hitting a deer in Yankee, this is a freaking heavy, muscular, full grown horse. 1 Like |

Tochex101: wild and free-roaming bro, no herders. sooo dangerous. the irony is that the road is, or looks free at night, so cars tend to go fast as opposed to the day time. however, here you might be going fast thinking that there is no car on the road and all of a sudden, you spot something weird and then you may have to make wild, impromptu maneuvers at high speed, which is definitely dangerous. |
