Simple rules!
How did this happen?
A tank driver decided 'why not take the short cut' which meant driving one way, leading to head on collision with the 18 seater bus and everyone died.
Laws are what guides us as humans. Where there's law, there's order and a place devoid of law is marked with chaos.
Simple and practical road safety rules put in place for our own good, we choose instead to do the opposite.
A person will intentionally follow one way and tell you that following the right direction is too far for him.
That sharp sharp practice cost over 18 innocent people their lives.
Remember the recent story of the bus driver that tried forming fast and furious by driving through a train track even when there was an incoming train? This also cost people their lives.
Our actions, directly or indirectly has effect on people around us. Where your right stops, that's where another person's right begin. So, you're not living only for yourself but for your neighbour.
I was driving back home after buying fuel for my car when this driver in front of instantly slammed his brakes. I was driving between 89-100km/hr and he was around the same speed bracket.
Guess what his reason was? He saw a potential passenger and acted without care.
Was driving with a friend one time and he said, 'just follow this side na(one way), see where we dey go for just here'.
My hubby would always tell you, that split second decision to do the right thing, might be saving you your life. Besides how about the embarrassment you'd get when law enforcement agencies get you?(FRSC, POLICE) and the subsequent fine you'd be made to pay?
Doing what's right is a cheaper price to that which doing wrong attracts.
