[url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7813418.stm ]New Helmet Laws[/url] in Nigeria for motorcyclists....

"Some people can put juju inside the helmets and when they are worn the victim can either lose consciousness or be struck dumb,"

Ace. And we think we have problems with people claiming they cause rotational impact injuries 🙂

More than 4,000 people die on Nigeria's roads every year

So, not much different from the UK, then....

That's great. I'm going to have to remember the juju argument for any future discussions.

I suspect they dont really have much in the way of distinction between road and pavement in many parts of Nigeria. I could be wrong.

Some parts of Africa the danger comes from the lions in the scrub alongside the highway. The man-eaters have discovered humans on two feet or wheels taste good and roads have a buffet! What body armour for lion attack?

If you go lion hunting with that get a mate to take a video camera.
