The alarming rate of road accident in that country is just too much .Road accident accounted for most untimely death ratio in Nigeria ,the rate st which road travelers die in car accident in Nigeria is way above other countries abd yhis is due to recklessness and violations of safety rules .Drivers should observe speed limit .Majority of public transport drivers lack orientation ,education and awareness .I think government need to checkmate this rampant occurrence of road accident by denying some mentally deranged or tout the access to driver license .Ignorance is one major factor wrecking huge havoc and calamity on us a day that's not too far from the lack of proper education in public sector .Also ,the road safety commission need to consider the measurement of our roads to determine speed limit .Most highways in Nigeria is too narrow ,and some have become so dilapidated beyond use .
Spare me
