Other factors that also cause road accidents during this period are: excessive speeding, overloading and impatient passengers making passive comments to the driver while driving.Though insecurity and kidnapping are not new in Nigeria, there are always on the increase in during the ember months.

Small-sized bottles of alcoholic drinks are being consumed by drivers without a thought for safety on the road. While doing this, they mistakenly hit pedestrians crossing, traders or even bystanders. This can result in grave injuries or even deaths.
