Commercial motorists in Lagos appear to be on a mission to outdo each other in the area of lawlessness. Danfo Driver

There seems to be absolutely no off-limits to the ridiculousness that is often exhibited by commercial motorists in Nigeria’s commercial capital. Sadly, enforcement of traffic laws by the government on commercial motorists appears to be non-existent.

The leaves are intended to create visibility for the danfo driver under the raining condition.

This is so the vehicle’s operator can better see what’s ahead of them. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin—and some aircraft—are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement.
