Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Ogun State Command, has advised motorists to reduce speed during the ’ember months’ to stem unnecessary road crashes.
The Commander in charge of Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, Mr Nasir Mohammed, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Ota, yesterday.
Mohammed noted that speed is sweet, but it kills faster than any deadly disease, stressing the need for motorists to 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 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 in accident.
He reiterated FRSC’s commitment to embark on aggressive public enlightenment and patrols to educate the public on the dangers of flouting traffic rules and regulations.
