another payday for the boys.

eleojo23: But we already have natural speed limiters (pot holes) on most of our roads.

Not coppied there is nowhere else abroad we have that

bros u dey okay so? u had better don't say wat u don't know

It's unfortunately more of personal resolve than regulation. However, no matter how little, this will work to an extent.

My first car, a Honda Civic 2004, had speed limiter on it (120 km/hr). All the cars I used subsequently did not have, but the habit stayed. I have become used to 120 km/hr as personal speed limit. In fact, these days, I have lowered the threshold to 100.

biodunid: FRSC to enforce use of speed limiters

Bukola Amusan

From June 1 next year, motorists are expected to have a maximum speed limiter device in their vehicles, to reduce crashes.
Stakeholders spoke at the weekend in Abuja in a communiqué at the end of a one-day forum on the “National Policy on Maximum Road Speed Limiter for Vehicles”.
Speaking with reporters, the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi, said the commission was empowered to apprehend anyone who violated the speed limit.

This people are just short of ideas
I don't know when they will think outside the box and do something reasonable for the motorist and passerby

Only to milk the people

Like most things I observe that happens in Nigeria, we put the cart before the horse.

I will give them this though, some of yah all drive like possessed maniacs considering the infrastructure on the ground. I just don't think that installing speed limiters in car is the solution. Overspeeding cars should be impounded and crushed. No need to punish folks that are observing clearly established speed limits.

The only vehicles with speed governors are commercial vehicles and some long distance trucks but this is voluntary between the companies and their insurance companies.

I like that, self imposed speed limiter

We have the same thing here in the US.

The fear of getting caught by Police, getting a ticket and having my insurance premium go up is my natural speed limiter.

Good idea but someone is about to scaterr in millions soon

teniola55: nicest idea

Most nicest idea. EOD

Really? The USDOT imposed self limiter on commercial vehicles?

You can negotiate reduce insurance rates if you have speed limiter on commercial vehicles as well as a phone number that people can call to report unsafe driving.

This would be another snare for those road-side police to add their N20 collection from perpetrators.

See their agility as if lion appear now, dem no go pick race even with those guns..

. LWKMD.. Bros lion even too much. Firework sound go make them run self

Hardheolar: bros u dey okay so? u had better don't say wat u don't know

I nor blame you nah your papa I blame wey dey pay your school fees,half baked pre degree student.Instead of you to make good use of you GB and do research U are here spewing rubbish like OO.I work with AMP Cams plus movement sensored CCTV for traffic Enforcement int eh UK so I know waht I was talking about there as these devices are meant for commercial vehicles at the COy wishes, its not enforceable, just a way of limiting speeds for these trucks and HGVs.What we use here in the west are speed cameras which use Laser Beam technology combined with ANPR Cameras(Automatic Number Plate Recognition)These compares your Plate number to the data base and brings out owners details.Learn more or you will fail in school kmt

I aint driven in the US, so these speed limiters are they meant to be enforced by the police on both commercial and private vehicles? or just a mechanism to reduce Insurance premium?

Ma.d pple with m.ad policies, they should first of all buy enough data capturing machines to improve issuance of driver's licence.

Yeye dey smell!!!

1) The police here have roving patrols (no road blocks per see unless doing special enforcement like checking for drunk drivers or looking for escaped convicts). So they will use radar to judge your speed as they drive and/or pace your vehicle and/or measure your speed against specially marked lines on the ground from the air.

If a private vehicles is caught speeding and depending on the speed they will issue a ticket which will earn 1 point (I think for California if you get 3 points in a year they take your license). For commercial drivers it's double the points. So the commercial drivers are very careful. They also have special patrols just for trucks. They patrol and set up an inspection area where they pull trucks over and check their logs (truck drivers have a limited amount of driving they can do in a 24 hour period), check their breaks, check the vehicles for safety violations, etc

So private companies will install speed limited on their trucks to reduce speed. New technology now is GPS tracking. The trucking office will get an instant alert when a driver exceeds a certain predetermined speed.

2) Insurance companies will give companies reduce insurance rates for companies that have some sort of program, either speed limited or GPS tracking in place to limit speed. Speed doesn't necessary kill but a speeding vehicle will cause more damage for the insurance company to pick up.

3) Insurance companies will also give reduced rates for companies that show a number that people can call in to report unsafe commercial truck. They take this very seriously by the way and their are 3rd party companies that can be contracted to receive the phone calls.

Hope that answers your question.

Ok same as the uk, however we got the stationary flashing speed cameras, which would give 3 points, and you need 9 points 4 a total band in the UK plus fine.

To me its a waste of time, wat if I exceed d speed limit, wats gonna happen? Imagine am speeding @ d rate of 160 and I was caught @ d act, who is gonna chase me? Aint they the once dats gonna apprehend me. So by that we all av violated d law . Story for d Gods.

We don't have those in California but I know that Arizona and New Mexico have them on their major interstate freeways. A friend came to visit me in Texas from California and had a nice ticket waiting for her back at home.

Do you chaps have road blocks routinely performed in the UK by the Police?

ok, Road Block ? The UK is HQ for police block, we have the Car Mounted ANPRs checking for road tax,drugs cars,non insured cars, non MOT cars U name it.But not like your guys over there who will stop every cars, down here you have to be stopped for a reason lol .Oh now we have these new speed cameras that are called variable speed detectors. eg if you are on a 10 mile stretch of road and speed limit is 30MPH, they might av say3 cameras on that rd,the first cam registers ur car the second and third cameras registers and calculate the time it took you from cam 1 to cam 2 if you beat the speed limit then your time would be shorter than the programmed time.These have no markings on the rd nor flashes, just pure ANPR.We have this in TOWER BRIDGE in London.

I agree, who gonna check how fast you have been and how

d major cause of road accident is bad road nt speed. potholes are the major factor of unsafe road n at d same time it damages ones car more often. let gvmnt do their part besides the always promise us good road each time they need our vote....... for me i no fit stop for them for road

Wat abt dose rickety buses and taxis dat evn @ top speed go below 40km/h are dey expected 2 av d limiter?

Min while if FRSC wants 2 b relevant den dey shud be tinkin abt repairin bad roads n notin disturbin us wif thrash........ Warri pot holes don alrdy put limiter n delimiter 4 ma motor.

Actually a police officer here has to have probable cause to stop you. He must have a reasonable believe that you have or are committing a crime.

I haven't had any motor vehicle interaction with a police officer in over 5 years.

In fact the first and one of the very few questions someone should ask a police officer is why did you stop me?

We have a right to free movement.

Rubbish. Remeber VIO and ENCODING?
These things DONT work. I am only sorry for those who rush to purchase such before a LOOMING deadline.
I'm still using my OLD number plate. Only reason I am using the new drivers license is cos it expired and you cannot be reissued the old one.

They had better save it for The convoys of govt officials.

FRSC using their Abuja budget creatively to ensure nationwide availability of equipment such as breathalyzers, tintometers, Radar guns and Laser speed guns will boost their income at least by 5% (fines from drunk driving, illegal tints and over speeding drivers). From my tiny coconut head for free and not costing a kobo to the already overtaxed Nigerian motorist

Oh mehn! this doesn't look good, it's only gonna spoil show for boys catching fun on wheels. Secondary, milking the heck out of us , just like the new plate number thing... Why don't they just let us be and think of better things ahead before copying this gimmicks from the organised society.What are we going to do with all the Benz's, Bm's and the super cars? limit their speed?They should provide racing tracks for boys; install surveillance cameras; have a database of all Nigerians with thumbprint and vehicles, to curb crimes before denying us our fun life. Must they always think of ways to make life boring as usual? This might just be another avenue to exploit the poor masses as usual...
