Standing on a road in Morocco, he pointed at a road sign with the inscription “80” and said that if Nigerian roads had such signs, Anthony Joshua’s accident might have been prevented.

The Ratel president explained that the number on the sign shows the speed limit drivers must obey on that road.

In the video, VDM added that while he and others were travelling in Morocco, the police stopped them more than twice to warn their driver about overspeeding. He said fines were also issued for disobeying the road signs, noting that such measures help prevent reckless driving.

VDM also showed the car dashboard to display the speed at which they were travelling. As they approached a bend, he pointed out that speed limits are reduced at such corners and road signs are placed to guide drivers.

He said the Nigerian government and road safety agencies should ensure such signs are installed on Nigerian roads and that police officers are deployed to monitor traffic offenders.
