“This is How Bus Drivers Play With People’s Lives”: Viral Video Shows Moment Bus Drivers Carrying Passengers Struggle to Overtake Each Other on the Highway

• A viral video shows the moment two Nigerian bus drivers struggle to overtake each other on the highway.
• While the driver behind tries to overtake the one in front, the driver makes it impossible for them to move.
• Many Nigerians have weighed in on it, with some calling out both drivers, while others claim it could be a kidnapping attempt.

A recent video that surfaced online shows the cruel way most Nigerian bus drivers play with people’s lives. 

The video that was shared online by @Carcontinent shows two public transport bus drivers, all carrying passengers, struggling to overtake each other on the highway. The driver behind makes all possible moves to overtake the other bus driver. However, the one in front blocks all the moves made by the driver, making it almost impossible for him to overtake.

While all these were happening, both buses were filled with passengers who obviously would be worried for their lives as both drivers engaged in the road struggle.
