RE: Speed and its impact

in Reflections3 months ago

In Nigeria speed limit for urban areas is 40kph while in rural areas is 80 kph, highways 120kph, I really love driving but unfortunately I don't know how to drive, I wanted to go for a driving school a friend said it's not advisable because I don't have a car yet.
Even as speed limit are reducing people still get involved in accidents that takes life, is just to drive safe and stay safe.

Sort:  

I wonder, do people stick to the speed limits there or do they go largely ignored? There's huge fines here, demerit points; speeding at 80 in a 60 zone incurs around $1,500AUD in fines for instance, and a loss of 5 demerit points (each driver only has 12 to start with.)

Hmmm even when there is fine to pay Nigerians are not known for obeying such laws, cameras are mounted in some traffic 🚦 just to see if people will adhere to the driving rules but no they won't they rather pay than obey, the worse is when you get to some states that are not well developed no one cares about driving laws

Yeah, some people have a propensity for law breaking I guess.

Even me I think so and most people are so impatient
