FRSC warns motorists against speeding

The Ogun Command of Federal Road Safety Corps has emphasized the need for road users to change their attitudes to stem crashes, especially on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The FRSC Sector Commander in Ogun, Anthony Uga, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Ota, Ogun.

NAN reports that 16 persons were killed in three separate accidents within six days along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The FRSC appealed to motorists to change their attitude, adding “If you are fatigued while driving from a long distance, why don’t you park and rest.

“In addition, motorists should desist from traveling at night and reduce their speed to reduce carnage on the highway,” he said.

The FRSC enjoined passengers to caution any erring driver, saying passengers could even call the FRSC toll line to give the details of vehicles so that such vehicles could be apprehended.

Uga said that they had embarked on sensitisation at motor stations to educate drivers to desist from driving under the influence of intoxicating substances to stem crashes.

He admonished motorists plying the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to be cautious because of the rehabilitation of the road.
