Wwright driving school

Happy new month and happy workers day from us.

Nnamdi Akabugo.

Last week, a man died because he was “right.”

He was driving straight. His lane was clear. His speed was normal. He did nothing wrong.

Then suddenly, a bus jumped the median without warning.

The bus driver was wrong. Everyone agreed.

But the man in the car was the one they buried.

This is the first rule of defensive driving most Nigerian drivers don’t understand:

Never assume the other driver will do the right thing.

On Nigerian roads, assumptions can kill you.

That driver in front of you without brake lights?
He can stop suddenly.

That okada rider squeezing between cars?
He can fall.

That truck with shaky containers?
It can drop.

That driver indicating left?
He may still turn right.

Defensive driving is not about proving you are right.
It is about staying alive.

Many drivers approach the road with pride.

“If he tries nonsense, I will show him.”

But defensive drivers approach the road with awareness.

“If he tries nonsense, I will be ready.”

The graveyard is full of drivers who had the right of way.

Pride doesn’t stop accidents.
Preparation does.

The Federal Road Safety Corps can not sit beside every driver.

So you must protect yourself.

Slow down when you see danger early.
Increase your distance.
Watch behaviour, not signals.
Expect mistakes.

Because on Nigerian roads, the best driver is not the fastest.

It is the one who arrives home.

Drive safely.

You see those white stripes on the road that look like the skin of a zebra?

That is a Zebra Crossing and it is not a suggestion. It is backed by law.

Under the traffic regulations, drivers are required to slow down and stop for pedestrians already on, or about to step onto, a zebra crossing. Refusing to stop is a traffic offence.

The relevant provisions are found under the National Road Traffic Regulations made pursuant to the Federal Road Safety Commission (Establishment) Act. These regulations place a duty on drivers to yield right of way to pedestrians at designated crossings.

What happens if you ignore it?

You can be:
• Stopped and booked by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC)
• Issued a traffic offence ticket
• Fined
• In serious cases, prosecuted in court

If your failure to stop results in injury or death, it may go beyond a simple traffic offence. It can lead to criminal charges such as reckless driving or dangerous driving. At that point, you are no longer just paying a fine you are facing possible imprisonment.

Now to pedestrians.

The law gives you priority at a zebra crossing, but it does not permit recklessness. You must ensure the road is reasonably clear before stepping onto it. If you dash into traffic carelessly and an accident occurs, liability may be shared.

A zebra crossing represents right of way for pedestrians not right to be careless.
As a lawyer, let me put it plainly:
Those white stripes are a command, not decoration.

If you are driving and someone is on that crossing, you must stop.
Failure to do so is not just bad manners. It is a breach of traffic law.

Respect the crossing.
Respect human life.
Because when accidents happen, excuses don’t stand in court.

To the Glory of God
