What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Lagos?

While visitors coming to Nigeria can drive rental cars here there are probably some important things that you need to keep in mind before you hit the road in your car rental in Lagos. One of those important things to know about driving a cheap car rental in Nigeria is that there is a lot of traffic and therefore a lot of traffic jams. It is not uncommon for something that should usually take five or 10 minutes to turn into a two-hour ride in your luxury car rental in Lagos because of traffic. You are most likely going to find these kinds of traffic problems in big cities like Lagos. With that in mind, it is best to give yourself some extra time to get to your destination when you drive. Another thing to remember is that drivers in this area don't always obey traffic lights or stop signs, so keep that in mind as you approach an intersection in your people carrier rental. During the rainy season that occurs from May until October, roads can often flood and fill with potholes, so bear that in mind when driving a cheap car rental. If you plan on driving outside of a major city, make sure your petrol tank is full as it can be hard to find fuel sometimes in remote areas. You should also take note of the fact that on the last Saturday of the month, roads in major cities can close for road cleanup.
