ROAD INCIDENTS EVALUATION

ROAD INCIDENTS EVALUATION

It is a painful insult to any intelligent Nigerian like me to call 99% of road mishaps accidentals. They are more intelligently related to Incidental events and all the life's that have been taken should be better classified as victims of avoidable incidental events.

The benefit of properly evaluating events is that it allows us to take perfect decision and eventually prosecute not just the ones driving but all the gate keepers that looked away while the incident was still a potential incidental event. 

No day passes, that any road user will not see a 20 to 40-ton truck, with all safety guidelines thrown to the wind;

1. No load restraining strapped of any kind

2. No parking light flashing in the night

3. No obvious good tyres and conspicuously noticeable bad tyres and worn-out ones while on the major roads

4. No parking lights and many times no light sockets at all.

5.smokey engine, lowering visibility to 10m

6. Trucks having difficulty ascending the bridge and almost failing backwards and truck boys restraining with wood to prevent that.

....the list is endless of our daily engagement of life threatening dangerous trucks on our road.

The only possible reason for law enforcement agents on the roads looking away would be that the owners of such trucks are powerful influential Persons. We all know what such people are capable of doing.

It is insulting upon injuries to many families that have lost their loved ones to road mishaps, when we call the cause an accident, when the unsafe trucks had been traveling our roads unsafely for at least one week before the incidental event and had passed many road law enforcement agents without restraint.

It is indeed insulting to all of us that saw the potential dangers of many unsafely laddened trucks plying our roads and heard that there was an eventual consummation with lives lost and such are reported as accidents.

PLEASE MOST TRUCKS MISHAPS ARE NOT ACCIDENTAL BUT INCIDENTAL.

The truth is that when we review all the mishaps, we may find 10% to be real ACCIDENTS but 90%  of the events would be avoidable or preventable road INCIDENTS. HIWORKS
