mobile coffins and their operators:Annoying things drivers do while on the move.

I want to believe this traffic Jam depicted in this picture below is as a result of the inpatience of drivers. Every one wants to be the first to pass through as if the others don't have a destination. 

 I have been meaning to rant about the crazy and annoying way people drive on our roads but how many people do i air my grievances to physically? A limited amount. So today I decided to use this platform to call out drivers on Nigerian roads. I can't complain about roads in other countries because I have not really had substantial contact with their drivers to draw out a conclusion. 

 Truth moment, a lot of Nigerians drive like insane people and they do that mostly because a lot of them haven't really undergone tutorials on how to drive and traffic rules. Most drivers in Nigeria just learnt how to balance a wheel in their hands and how to remember to keep to the left lane, asides that they don't understand traffic rules,they don't understand what it means for a driver to own a right of way. They barely understand the traffic lights. Below is a list of some instances, that make you question the sanity of fellow drivers

1). Not signaling when trying to change lanes or even leaving the light on miles before a turn. This is really crazy because you have to always have your feet standby on the brake pedal because you are uncertain if some idiot may just swerve in front of you.

2). Aim your head lights at on coming traffic at a very high beam. Haba,is the driver that blind that he can't see his immediate front and wants to render me blind in the process? That's possible but that's why drivers need visual acuity done to ascertain their road worthiness.

3). Taking up 2 lanes on a dual carriage way. This annoys me to my marrow. Why can't drivers maintain one lane? Your car is moving as a turtle and yet you are occupying 2 lanes. It's not a slow moving entourage for pete's sake.

4). Making calls while driving.  We all know multitasking saves time but not while driving. If you want to end your life go to an isolated place and ram your car into a stationary object don't endanger others while at it.

5). Most don't understand right of way. How can someone navigating into a roundabout expect those on the round about to wait for him?  That's madness.

6). Then those that make a honest mistake that can't accept and apologize just because you appear more affluent. 

7). One has toBe wary also of motorcycles and taxis, which think they have the right of way and dodge in and out of traffic, regardless of how little space there is for them to fit.

8). Thanks to inpatience, If there happen to be lines in the road, drivers feel free to disregard them to turn, avoid potholes or get to their destination sooner. 

9). Then those that overload their cars with,people, animals and goods alike. You will be so scared of being behind these,they may want to reverse at any time will trying to change lanes inappropriately with their rear Windshield cluttered with goods 

10). Then those trailers and tankers that intimidate saloon cars based on size just because they believe the size of the automobile determines who has right of way.

I can go on and on but I would stop here.

 We all should learn to do the right things cutting corners and getting driving licenses through the back door would only increase the incidence of deaths due to road traffic accidents. Our roads are not in perfect shape,the to top it we have crazy people behind the wheels that's a catastrophe. 

  whenever I'm in a car,be it behind the wheels or riding shotgun I see every other driver as a potential mad man that may go berserk at any time. That is how I scream blood of Jesus and hold my chair whenever I see them manifesting their lack of reasoning and judgement. 

 If you have any funny or crazy experience with the operators of these mobile coffins. Kindly share with us via the comment section.
