Obey traffic rules or face ban, DRTS tells Abuja dispatch riders
The Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS), Abuja, has warned dispatch riders to obey road traffic rules and regulations or be banned from operating in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
A spokesperson for DRTS, Kalu Emetu, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the newly appointed director, Abdul-Lateef Bello, gave the warning when he paid an engagement visit to a commercial motorcycle park at Lugbe, FCT.
Mr Emetu quoted Mr Bello as saying that the DRTS management, in collaboration with essential transport stakeholders, planned to tackle the misconduct of dispatch riders and commercial motorcyclists.
“Government will be forced to enforce a ban when they insist on riding or driving against the traffic, thereby endangering their lives and others,” Mr Emetu said.
He said same action would also be taken against other motorcyclists, tricycles and motorists who fail to obey rules.
