The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Command, has urged drivers to exercise caution during the ember months by avoiding excessive speeding, night journeys, and drunk-driving.
Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, the Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway Unit Commander, Nasir Mohammed, warned that although speed may feel thrilling, it remains a leading cause of fatal road crashes.
Mohammed noted that speed was sweet, but it kills faster than any deadly diseases, 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 average speed limit to prevent avoidable crashes during the ember months.
”We also strongly advice against night travel, reckless driving and wrongful over taking,” he said.
The route commander emphasised the need for motorists to desist from drunk-driving as this could affect their sense of reasoning thus resulting to 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.
