So around wuse 2. On two occasions.

A cab driver will park in a lonely street and tell the female passenger to please give him her phone so he could use her phone light to check for the cars fault.

He will ask them to step out of the car. While standing he goes into the driver's seat and zooms off.

So there is no hand brake? O stop entering this type of vehicle long ago as life is more important. If motor is not new and sharp i will not enter.

Except for dead midnight when I can’t get any options again

If you no wan match break or help driver to dey use rag wipe front screen due to fog, no bother sitting in the front sit.

I don match break 3times, help rev engine 2times, wipe foggy glass 2times. Funny thing is, the thing dey sweet me while doing it. As Fela puts it "we are suffering and smiling". It just feel normal doing it those days.
