The Dangers of Motor Tricycle on Lagos Roads

I was driving to church on sunday the 5th of december 2010 in my car then i reached a "u" turn. I trafficated, then  as i was in the process of making the turn suddenly a commercial motor tricycle popular called keke marwa collided with my car damaging my bumper and creating a dent on the tricycle.

The driver of the commercial motorcycle suffered a head cut wound which made him bleed profusely. As a result of that i rushed him to the hospital in which i paid for the stitching of his wound (N9,500). 
As if that was not enough the driver wanted me to pay for the damage on his tricycle not taking into consideration the damage it caused to my vehicle which was all his fault because i trafficated and the driver was meant to stop as i was making the turn. 
Then afterwards i had to go the police station to settle the matter then a compromise was made between the driver of the tricycle and i in which i agreed to pay for the damage caused to his tricycle.

THESE COMMERCIAL MOTOR TRICYCLES CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SCARE SO VEHICLE DRIVERS
