Intervene when arrested
Members of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (Lastma) or the police may be overzealous and aggressive but this is as a result of the habitual recklessness of drivers who disobey the State’s driving rules. When arrested, the drivers feel remorseful while pleading with passengers to apologise on their behalf. Passengers do not need to intervene especially when the driver is at fault. To avoid getting caught in a free for all verbal onslaught, whenever the driver gets arrested, quietly disembark from the vehicle and get another one heading your way.
