Wonua,
The principles of defensive driving has to apply here:
If you allow enough distance between your car and the car ahead, you will NOT run into them even if they make a sudden stop. That is what defensive driving means. The fact that a car ahead of you makes a sudden stop doesn't justify you running into it.
If a car is completely stopped on a highway, does that mean you run into them? A careful driver will notice that ahead of time.

Wonua, did you read well? And does his explanation make sense to you? A car overtook his bus, so how did the headlight of that car, moving in the same direction, affect the vision of the bus driver? Also, according to him, the vehicle in front was originally in motion, so it will take time before it comes to a stop, and as such, if the bus driver is a qualified driver he would leave enough space between his bus and the vehicle ahead such that he will be able to safely stop even if the vehicle in front suddenly stops. Was the bus driver sober, or is he qualified to drive?

Safe driving is to slow down when your are being overtaken. If he has done that, he would have had enough time to stop or reduce impact.

If a high beam behind you can impair your driving, then a high beam of a car overtaking you can reflect in the mirrors or front GLASS of your car to impair your vision.

We must not discount the driver's version. It is possible the driver was dazzled by the high beam of the overtaking car reflecting from the side and rear view mirrors.
But he needs to explain why he didn't slow down considerably when he experienced such dazzling light. And he needs to explain why he didn't react quickly enough when the vehicle in front of him slowed down. Were his brakes bad? Was he driving when fatigued? Was he intoxicated? Seems he lacked concentration, for reasons known to only him.
In his case, he's guilty unless proven otherwise. Incompetent driver who deserves to be charged and lose his job!

There is Kwaku Anase story in the driver's account. How can the beams of a car overtaking you (NOT FACING YOU) blind your vision. It would rather throw more light on what is infront of you! Haba!! Or is the reporter twisting ...

I believe it is time for everyone to learn how to get a big picture and leave 4 seconds following distance ahead of you by projecting your eyes on the road and also slow down to avoid any type of accident by driving defensive ...

Are you really a driver? Are you telling me high beam or high light behind you cannot impair your vision? If a high beam behind you can impair your driving, then a high beam of a car overtaking you can reflect in the mirrors ...

Most Ghanaians do not like science. Is very distasteful to them. They rely om WAEC for academic assessment /achievement at this day in age hence, the buffoonery displayed here.
EXACTLY! that was what i was going to write as a comment. It's possible the beam was reflected in the Driver's mirror and that affected his vision.
Thanx bro, u just said it all. Some of the guys on this platform are tooknown but I dont think they ve handled a real car before, they think driving on the highway is like that on a computer keyboard or game pad.
Its very true. A high light behind u will splash into the rear mirror via the back windscreen. Those who do not have this prac tical experience will counter argue over kotoko driver's claim. Kotoko drive shd have slowed down ...

It's possible. The lights will be reflected by your mirrors towards you. It really be worrying
Shut up if u know nuin abt driving. Do u know wat dazzling frm behind is. Dnt just make baseless nd stupid submissions. I pray u go tru same wen driving at night, dats wen u will understand him.
correct
Baseless. Where is the logic here
It's possible. The lights will be reflected by your mirrors towards you. It really be worrying
Was the car on coming or by passing , his use of overtaken can be a misuse , whether he has a poor grasp of the language or not I doubt he is stupid and will certainly know the implications of what he said.
YOU NEED TO GIVE ENOUGH SPACE ,SO U DONT TAILGATE....ITS UR FAULT.U CAN NEVER HIT ANOTHER CAR.
GO BACK TO DRIVING SCHOOL
Poor jounalism, I believe what the driver said was a car pass by with high beam,but the writer translated it directly from a local language and said a car over took him, how possible.
Murtala, that's how I also thought of the narrative. It is sad how journalist would translate the Twi to English as if both languages follow the same 'syntax'. Both languages are spoken and written differently. Overtaking ca ...

Why are Ashantes so ugly? dark skin, red shiny eyes
The same reason your white masters are ugly. Because they are better than you.
Really silly submission. Where from this? Stoking tribal sentiments to achieve what? Demon possessed human.
Just ignore him. He is a smelly pig who sleeps on the streets.
This guy was sleeping I think so
FROM THE CONVERSION, I CAN OBSERVE THAT EYE IMPAIRMENT HAS A ROLL TO PLAY IN THIS FATAL ACCIDENT.
SOLUTION: GHANA DVLA MUST INTRODUCE REGULAR EYE TEXT/CHECK FOR DRIVERS SERIOUS. THEY ALSO HAVE TO MAKE IT A CONDITION FOR NEW ...

If another vehicle overtakes you and is using the high lights it aids your vision but it doesn't blocks your vision because its not coming from the OPPOSITE direction. Man, it seems you were over speeding unnecessarily, sorry ...

behind a vehicle so why beam light blurring the driver's vision? Something doesn't add up.
The driver definitely has some sort of vision problem. It's very awkward for a driver to run into a parked vehicle when another vehicle overtakes with high beam lights. If his vision was blinded from an oncoming vehicle with ...

Looking at the man's face:All his salary goes into "Akpeteshie".
The right thing to do is to quickly adjust your side mirrors when the light behind is troubling you. This is poor driving let us be truthful
Clear human error but has bn labelled as (something behind) by no other than a white man kotoko coach.
keep quite u this ogoglo man u were over speeding and moreover u have already loose your job so it's better u tell us wht exactly happened and stop telling lies
Careless driver used your ABS when u can't see afar.
Utter nonsense. How can a car that overtake you shine it's light into your eyes? I don't blame you for this accident though. The people who leave broken down trucks with no warning triangle should be prosecuted. This is murde ...

Drive and apply common sense because common sense if not applied then one becomes very stupid.
We all drive. I not convinced of this ananse story. If anot her car is overtaking you in front how can you lost your vision. I am sure a vision can be strongly lost when an incoming car is on high beam.Anyway, anything is pos ...

We need to bring on TV and air some of the foreign forensic detectives. Let the police lawyers view to add into their knowledge. This will inform them in judging fairly so many cases.
How does a vehicle that overtook blinded him. Was he blinded by the tail lights? This is an old and worn out man in custody of young lives
Eeeeiiiii ghanaians ve diferences faces.
But, but, but....... hmmmm!
Honestly you guys should leave the driver alone. Are you forgetting the fact that one Osofo called the team at 4:00pm thereabout to inform them not to come back to Kumasi that same after the match ...

So the tail lights of the vehicle that overtook u was on high beam??? Sir , tell that to the marines!!
Porcupine story ; just like Ananse story. Highlight from your back?
Most drivers need training in driving especially taxi drivers. Many drivers don't know when to dim your headlights, when to stop and where, when to overtake and even the distance between their vehicles and the one ahead of th ...

PERIOD. HE WON'T ACCEPT HIS FAULT
U lost the match so in your anger, you waged war on the accelerator
The driver's excuse doesn't make sense. Personally, I think he is a reckless driver. I think he needs to shut up and hire an attorney.
The question is did the police check his alcohol level ? the excuse the old man is given,doesn't much up.how can a car over taking you light affect your vision ?old man come again.
most of u who a saying de beam çant not affect ur vision à fouls or a not drivers de side mirrors can affect ur vision ok expercaily bus n truck

We must not discount the driver's version. It is possible the driver was dazzled by the high beam of the overtaking car reflecting from the side and rear view mirrors.
But he needs to explain why he didn't slow down conside ...

What he is saying is not making any sense.
Foolish excuse
Is sad but to all drivers ,stop using highbeam when meet another car.
Secondly , if you can see property because of someone's highbeam, slow down or if safe stop to avoid such kind of accident.
PEOPLE HAVE A HABIT OF DRIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT.
ON A FAST ROAD LIKE THE KUMASI ROAD, ONE MUST KEEP AT LEAST 15 CARS LENGTH DISTANCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. YOU ONLY MOVE CLOSE WHEN YOU NEED AND IT IS ...

You get the reflection of the high been from your wing mirror and in most cases it can blind the driver of the vehicle ahead it's so common in Ghana for drivers to use high beam which is very wrong
