FRSC cautions motorists against speeding
The Federal Road Safety Corps has advised motorists to reduce speed during the ’ember months’ to stem unnecessary road crashes.
Nasir Mohammed, FRSC commander in charge of the Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, gave the advice on Monday in Ota.
Mr Mohammed noted that speed was sweet, but it kills faster than any deadly disease, stressing the need for motorists to therefore refrain from excessive speed that could lead to disaster through crashes.
“We urge motorists to obey road signs and adhere to the average speed limit to prevent avoidable crashes during the ember months.
“We also strongly advise against night travel, reckless driving, and wrongful overtaking,” he said.
The route commander stated the need for motorists to refrain from drunk driving, as this could impair their ability to reason, thus increasing the risk of an accident.
He reiterated the FRSC’s commitment to embark on aggressive public enlightenment and patrols to educate the public on the dangers of flouting traffic rules and regulations.
