RE: ROAD TRIPS IN MY COUNTRY; A DEATH SENTENCE

in #writing7 years ago

fantastic article! Honestly @oluwoleolaide, you hit the nail on the head! Road trips are supposed to be fun...the ability to go at your own pace and stop over whenever and wherever you feel like to make a purchase along the way or even just to sight see...makes traveling by road especially enjoyable. I love to travel, i love to feel the wind in my face, my hair, i love the gentle rocking motion of a car (with good shock absorbers though.lol)...however, the alarming rate of accidents on our roads often gives me a serious rethink, making me opt out of several trips. We do need a lasting solution but i think the turnaround has got to begin with individual Nigerians...Your road transport data above shows that a whooping 42% of crashes are caused by speed violations! If every individual road user were to limit their speed and exercise more patience when overtaking, or when navigating bends, or when cresting a hill/high point on the roads, we honestly would have safer road trips. I'm so pushing out this article on twitter...hopefully several people would see it and add "I would stop over-speeding" to their new year resolution lists. Cheers!
