And you didn't apportion any blame to yourself for not doing regular checks on your tire health, not even your overspeeding?

I was also shocked.

Remember doing 140 some years back in an older model Corolla...the engine block cracked.

When Nigerians don't even check tyres' expiry dates...even oyinbos dem wey get better roads with 27 inches thickness and frequent maintenance always do away with expired tyres, and maintain speed limits....while we Nigerians with tattered roads dey put our lives for Baba God hand, while driving recklessly on a 2 to 5 years beyond expiry date tyres....Heaven help those who help themselves

I think the point is made that the blowout had nothing to do with the Corolla. The culprit is the poor state of the tyre coupled with the excessive speed which points back to the owner (driver) of the car. In fact the Corolla actually deserves credit for not flipping over but remained controllable in that highly unstable situation..But the name-calling is unnecessary..
The owner driving skill is not bad as his decisions. Credit for being able to control the car at that speed with a blowout.

Complete and utter garbage post. Deserves to be in the trash. Then again, considering your previous posts and your less than sensible comments and antecedents, one shouldn't expect anything reasonable from you and people like you.

You took a vehicle to the expressway, a definitely poorly maintained vehicle considering that you're the owner or driver, and then drove at speeds far above the designated speed limits, and the vehicle tyres had a blowout.

Instead of you to put 100% of the blame on yourself and your very poor decision making abilities, you decided to blame the vehicle.

Your life is just a good example of the saying "A poor workman quarrels with his tools". Every thread you make, you're putting blame on everything and everyone apart from the primary target of the blame, which is yourself.

Just take a look at the near bald tyres you decided to take to the expressway, I shudder to imagine just how terrible the condition of that car would be, with you as the owner. Frankly I don't care about you or about anything that happens to you because of your terrible decisions. My concern is for other road users and motorists who you may maim or kill with your senselessness.

My only hope is that you're the only one that would be affected if anything happens due to your lack of acuity, nobody else.

Will be waiting for your next thread where you blame Buhari for your wife not getting pregnant, or you blame your pot for your food not being tasty.

Nonsense.

The tyre might have been bad , Not sure its the speed , next time do check your tyres before making trips . Well speed do kill . But with a better tire one 140 - 150 on that road , You should be good to go and better wheel balancing. At last na God dey save us all , if you like run 60-80

You're to be blamed.

There are certain cars you don't go above 120 with.

With cars like Toyota land cruiser Prado, Lexus GL series, MB GLK and co, that is just a sweet cruise on a highway.

This happened yesterday morning, I had a flight to catch at the airport by 9 and I left Ibadan past 7 with my Toyota corolla sport. Las las Ibadan traffic dey mild and as I entered that Lagos Ibadan express way oboy Audi mode activated. I was doing around 140 to 150 when I heard a loud bang and gbagbagbagbagbahba. In sub seconds my brain processed that na tyre and if I match break oboy the car go start acrobatic display. Las las I drag gear for neutral and car came to stop after few seconds. Damaged my bumper, sand protector and some part of the rim.


Next time I will make sure I don't go above 100 with a corolla that's if there will be a next time with one.




And the breaking system is just so stupid and all. I wonder how corolla lovers cope
1. Audi mode in a Corolla? How?
2. 150km/hr in a 100km/hr highway
3. Driving on bald (most likely over pressurized or underpressurised) tyres.

And yet somehow it is all Toyota Corolla s fault.

However, contrary to what you intend to achieve,
1. The Toyota Corolla did not lose control which is a testament to it's engineering and build
2. The Toyota Corolla kept you alive despite your best efforts to throw it away.
3. The Toyota Corolla will still get you to your destination with a spare tyre.

Give credit to the engineers and people who took out their time to design that 'bland and boring' but ultimately best selling car in the world. They have saved your arse once again.
And people who know better appreciate what they have done and what they keep doing.

Read about tyres and their codes.
All tyres have a maximum speed limit above which they will fail. Date of manufacture matters too

Next time also consider leaving much earlier or better still sleepover in Lagos. F1 is sweetest when done inside the circuit design for it.

Toyota Braking system from 2000-2010 are rubbish in most of their sedan cars!

From 120-140, hit the brakes at once at your own risk! Even 100 you will notice the car waving..

140-150? You sound like one of my roommates in Abuja. He's a speed freak. I can never be in a car where the driver goes further than 100-110.

Why didn't you leave ibadan earlier? And, I hope you met the flight?

I used to do 180 km/h on that road with my Golf GTi back then. From Lagos toll gate to Ibadan end is usually 45 minutes or less.

That was before the road became messed up sha.

Is it auto or manual transmission?
Just wondering how you managed to change to neutral without stepping on the brake pedal, except it's manual.

Anyways... Thank God for life!
