Some Twitter users have been recounting how their lives have been impacted by drivers who violate traffic rules including driving against traffic in Lagos.

This comes to light as the Lagos State government on Thursday auctioned some vehicles which were impounded over various traffic offences in the state.

A tweep, Tunde Aluko, shared the story of a personal loss as a result of a one-way driver. He said, “My uncle died after almost four years of total memory loss, he remembered nothing till his last day. He was knocked down by someone riding against traffic, if your vehicle is impounded for driving against traffic or you’re even jailed for life, zero sympathy!”

Responding to Aluko’s tweet, another Twitter user, Jumoke said, “My colleague lost her graduate son, who only came home for NYSC, to a one way driver. LASG should not only sell the car, the drivers should do some time in jail.”

A victim of a ‘one-way’ driver, Sunkanmi Shams, shared the experience of having his hand crushed weeks back.

“I almost got run over by a Danfo driving ‘one-way’ some weeks ago. Guess what? My children were in an eatery directly across the road waiting for their daddy. The bus smashed into my hand. As I was writhing in pain, I was thanking God for my life,” Shams said.

Beejay lost a brother to a ‘one-way’ traffic violator. He said, “I lost a kid bro to same incident few weeks ago. He was knocked down by a car driving against traffic, had skull fracture and sustained multiple injuries, he passed away after the surgery. May his soul rest in peace.”

Driving against traffic in Lagos attracts seizure of vehicle and prison term for the offender, if apprehended.
