Hazard Is ...

Me alone, female, with all the driving culture of a danfo driver… driving home from work late on a rainy Wednesday night… with the barely there headlights… on the treacherous Lagos roads from Victoria Island to Festac sans street lighting… and malfunctioning windshield water sprayer while beaucoup hired killers (i.e. heavy duty trailers, tankers et al.) splatter mud all over my windshield… with my non-shock-absorbing shock absorbers… maneuvering through pothole ridden supposed-to-be-roads… stereo blaring… answering my mobile phone without using the hands-free device intended for exactly that purpose …

How about you guys post equally or more terrifying experiences you have had (and ... maybe even stories that do not pack all the tension soaked moments of my own experience).
