Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has again urged motorists to avoid over-speeding during and after yuletide.
Gatekeepers News reports that the FRSC has advised 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 part of the State.
According to reports, 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 travelling at night and reduce their speed to reduce carnage on the highway.”
The FRSC, therefore, enjoined passengers to caution any erring driver, adding that 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 further advised motorists plying the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to be cautious because of the rehabilitation of the road.
