It doesn’t always begin with a screech. Sometimes, the most dangerous moment on the road is… silence.Not the kind that comes from traffic easing up or from your radio turning off. But the kind of silence that happens when someone forgets the basics Like checking their side mirror before switching lanes. Or skipping that second glance before reversing out of a tight spot.It’s the small things that cause the big crashes. And in Nigeria, where roads are shared by trailers, okadas, Keke Napeps, SUVs, and schoolchildren, those "small things" add up fast.<img src="https://ezycourse.b-cdn.net/2338/cmdmvp4t001bs6e8zcy0s4lz2.png" alt="image" draggable="true" style="width: 373px; height: auto; cursor: pointer;"><h4 id="50968c16-2ed0-480b-aca2-d088ea35d352" data-toc-id="50968c16-2ed0-480b-aca2-d088ea35d352" style="text-align: justify;">The Road Is a Shared Conversation Every time you're behind the wheel, on a bike, or even just crossing the road, you're speaking a language, the language of movement, timing, and awareness.</h4>Unfortunately, many Nigerians never learn that language.

What if every Nigerian understood how to read the road, not just how to move on it?<h4 id="23c875ee-733a-4060-a857-91f76c1d393c" data-toc-id="23c875ee-733a-4060-a857-91f76c1d393c" style="text-align: justify;">Learning Doesn’t End With a Driver’s License</h4>That’s where Road Users Academy comes in. It’s not a driving school.
