Why are traffic accidents in Nigeria often caused by fuel tanker explosions?
Traffic accidents in Nigeria involving fuel tanker explosions are often attributed to several key factors:
1.Poor Road Conditions: Potholes and inadequate signs abound on many of Nigeria's poorly maintained highways, raising the possibility of collisions involving large vehicles like fuel tankers.
2. Overloading: Especially on uneven roads, fuel tankers are routinely overloaded beyond what is safe. This can cause instability and make it difficult to steer the vehicle.
3. Inadequate Maintenance: Many tanker trucks suffer from irregular maintenance, which can result in mechanical issues that could endanger lives. In trucks that are not well-maintained, problems like brake failure are frequent.
4. Driver Negligence and Fatigue: Certain tanker operators may engage in careless driving practices, like racing or disobeying traffic laws. Furthermore, extended periods of driving without adequate rest might result in driver weariness.
5. Lack of Regulation Enforcement: In Nigeria, regulatory organizations frequently have difficulty upholding the safety requirements for the transportation of hazardous commodities. This may result in disregard for safety procedures.
6. Human error: Errors include misjudging distances, changing lanes improperly, and failing to respond to road conditions adequately. These errors can lead to accidents.
7. Explosion Risks: Fuel tankers transport highly combustible substances. There is a considerable risk of explosion in the event of a collision, which could have disastrous effects.
Addressing these issues requires improved infrastructure, stricter enforcement of safety regulations, better training for drivers, and a comprehensive approach to road safety.

Establishing The Cause Of A Pedestrian Accident
Arizona uses a fault-based system for car accidents, which means the insurer for the at-fault driver is responsible for paying the damages of anyone who suffers injuries or other losses. A pedestrian claiming damages must prove that the driver’s negligence was a direct cause of their injuries.
Police usually come to the scene of pedestrian accidents, and the police report is often valuable evidence that could help establish a driver’s responsibility. A Tempe attorney could present any citation the driver received as evidence that the driver was not operating their vehicle with appropriate care and negligently harmed the pedestrian.

... Just a reminder that it's legal in California. And if you drive a car and do something to try and prevent a rider from passing... If he eats it or reports you... Expect a visit from the bacon. FYI: I don't call the cops. Your door is getting kicked in or your mirror is coming off.... #drivernegligence #payattention
