For instance, the video below captures how a Danfo driver improvised by using leaves as the windscreen wipers blades on his danfo.
The leaves are intended to create visibility for the danfo driver under the raining condition.
Currently, there exists a list of traffic offences and their penalties released by the Lagos State Government. Interestingly, there is no mention of a penalty for this sort of offence. See the list HERE.

Rain reduces visibility and traction as the roads become wet and slippery.
While driving under the rain, your stopping distance may become four or more times as long as on a dry road.
