Campaigning against road accident should not be targeted at drivers alone as most of the passengers are partaker in the careless driving as well. Nigerians are always shy of telling drivers especially the commercial drivers to obey speed limit on highways,most of them enjoy the drive as long as it will shorten their journey no matter how fast the driver is going. Any passenger that complains intermittently in the journey is seen as coward or illiterate and are shouted down by co-passengers. The need to caution these drivers that are just racing on our highways daily to make as many trips as possible solely rest on us. Passengers can enlighten illiterate drivers about traffic signs as they drive along our roads,and also make sure they obey the speed limit in various type/part of the road they are. I wish the FRSC can launch a "SPEAK-OUT" campaign and get the passengers involved in saving their own lives. No driver will fail to heed the voice of the people if they are united in there demand to the driver to follow traffic rules. Don't keep QUIET in a commercial vehicle if the driver is toying with your life because he/she can keep u QUIET forever. Our destiny and survival is in our Hands.
