Many Nigerians board public buses when they have a place to go either to their business places or workplaces. But like every other thing, there are several things anyone planning to enter a bus must take note of.

These are necessary security information anyone that travels or boards Public buses while travelling must know, as it will go a long way in saving you from some troubles.

If you notice these 3 things in any Public Bus, then you must alight or ask the driver to stop;

1. If the Public Bus doesn't pick up new passengers when there is alot of space; this is a top security information you must know. If the driver or the conductor doesn't give you cogent reasons why he won't pick more passengers, alight from such bus. The reason why you should raise an alarm or ask the driver to stop is because you don't know whether those already inside the bus are his gang members.

Even if they are normal people, it is safer to alarm and alight from such bus because you never know what he is planning and from experience it is most likely evil. The only problem we have in Nigeria is that we always put Irrelevancies before life, no matter where you are going, raise alarm and alight from such bus if you care about your life and well-being.

2. If the Driver is Drinking While Driving: when I say drinking, I don't mean taking a bottle of stout or alcoholic drinks while driving but I mean drop if you notice that the driver is sipping sachet alcoholic drinks. We always overlook this but it's very dangerous as such drinks contain strong alcoholic contents and can even result to the reckless driving and subsequently an accident.

Immediately you notice that the driver of the bus you boarded is taking sachet alcoholic drink, please and please alight from such bus because life is more important than wherever you think you're going to. Simply alight and enter another bus for your own precious life.

3. Unnecessarily Speeding: this is naturally dangerous and can lead to untimely death. If notice that the bus you boarded is speeding unnecessarily, don't just shout and caution the driver, alight and take another bus. Once you warn or caution the driver and it appears the driver is adamant about it, just ask him to stop so that you can alight. If you don't go to where you intend to go, you won't die! Always put your life first before any other thing.

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) spokesman, Bisi Kazeem on Monday said that Nigeria will be banning the importation of articulated trucks older than 10 years, in a bid to curb truck accidents.

According to Kazeem, the decision was reached by the Major Oil Marketers of Nigeria and the National Association of Road Transport Owners at the renewal workshop held on September 24, which has now been scheduled for implementation.

Disclosing this during a follow-up meeting held at the Federal Road Safety Corps national headquarters in Abuja, he also noted that the FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi represented the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.

The statement read, “Members further called for a timeline to be set for the enforcement of the maximum load capacity of 45,000 litres of petroleum products by trucks operating from the tank farms across the country.

“The meeting resolved that enforcement of all safety standards including anti-skid, anti-rollover and anti-spill (safety valves) be prioritized within a given time frame as outlined in the similar communiqué reached in 2018.

“The government should consider issuing directives on enforcement of the 10-year policy on importation of trucks so that any articulated vehicle that is beyond 10 years of age should not be allowed into the country.”
