We understand your pain. That's why the Legit.ng team together with Jiji.ng, want to make your morning a little bit more fun. We'll tell you about the types of drivers you probably meet every day as well as how dangerous and noisy they are for those around them on a scale from 1 to 10.
Maneuvering through transport and corners where conventional cars cannot squeeze through, green and yellow tuk-tuks run about the streets, overpacked and rudderless. Although it seems that the life goal of keke drivers is to create road accidents, everyone loves these awkward vehicles and uses every day in want of more effective public transport.

They are masters of roads as they literally can go through any jams and mud-locked streets. Compared to tuk-tuk drivers that at least try to act as if they knew traffic regulations, these badasses don't see any speed limits or have any respect to other road users. That's the reason why okadas are prohibited in some Nigerian cities.

Rickety and stuffy buses may seem the safest place in the Nigerian road hell. Yet, don't hold your breath! They're at the top of the list considering fatal road accidents in Nigeria. With this, bus drivers, for the most part, are quite lovely people that just try to follow the rules. Perhaps, that's their biggest mistake?

As many times as they honk does no one all over the world! Driving habits also leave a lot to be desired. However, compared to indifferent bus drivers, cheerful taxi drivers on their Toyotas and Hyundais can keep a conversation and turn on your favorite radio station if the car stereo is still functioning.

Do you remember a short story "Trucks" by Stephen King? Well, Nigerian truck drivers sometimes are really similar to those cars described in the book. Driving hard at thoroughfares, in a city, they're bound to humbly sit in a traffic jam and exhaust a poll of gases to spite those drivers around that risked opening windows.

Mercedes S-class with a covered number plate which costs several millions of dollars ― guess who's that? This shameless mobster feels quite comfortable on the road as most of the drivers let him go first to avoid possible conflicts. In most cases, they are non-hazardous. However, if something goes wrong, then there's a chance to find yourself in an exciting tussle.

These are usually Americans or Europeans that got a business trip for a couple of days and have no clue how to commute within Nigerian cities. That's why their choice is a taxi cab in case they didn't get a personal car and driver from a firm. Frightenedly peeping out from a window, they desperately try to cover their anxiety; though they manage this bad.
