Detty December is here and outside is calling your name louder than your bank alert. From concerts to club nights to “let’s just step out small” hangouts, everybody is moving. And honestly, with Lagos doing Lagos things, ride-hailing has become the real MVP, the only way to jump from one enjoyment to another without adding extra wahala. Apps like Bolt have become part of the December survival kit, especially for late-night movement. But before you start flying around the city like a Detty December tour guide, let’s talk about staying safe while you’re out there.
1. Always confirm your driver and car details
Lagos is already chaotic, don’t add an accidental mystery ride to your December story. Check the car, check the plate number, check the driver. Confirm everything.
2. Share your trip with someone you trust
Send your trip to your friend that never sleeps or your sibling that stalks you lovingly. Someone needs to know your movement when you’re outside till 3 a.m. behaving like a Detty December ambassador.
3. Stay aware of your surroundings
Don’t let the December excitement make you forget common sense. Stand where there’s light. Look around. No one is forming FBI here, just survival.
4. Choose the back seat
It’s safer, it’s calmer, and it gives “mysterious baddie going home after shutting down the party.”
5. Make use of Bolt’s in-app safety features
Bolt has Trip Monitoring, Emergency Assistance and even an in-app dash cam now. Use the features. This is not the season for freestyle movement.
6. Avoid roadside hailing
You’re not in a Nollywood film. Book your ride from the app. Verified drivers only. No extra December drama needed.
7. Don’t drink and drive
If you plan to drink, plan not to drive. Simple. Call a Bolt and enjoy your life in peace.
8. Trust your instincts
If something feels somehow, end the ride. Don’t negotiate with vibes that are not vibing.
9. Enjoy yourself without stress
December is for enjoyment, not emergency stories. Move safely and let Bolt carry you from one enjoyment location to the next.
