They are always imposing. When are the government agencies going to learn how to address the citizen in a polite manner. Who will bear the cost of the limiter? Can't they put speed limit signs in strategic places as they do in other countries? I remember sometines ago when they introduced some kind of reflector. FRSC personnel used that to make so much money from the poor citizens. I weep for this Country. |

CityNG: Like most things I observe that happens in Nigeria, we put the cart before the horse.There are no speed limits on Nigerian roads. CityNG:My own limiter is fear of losing my job. I lose my license, then the job most likely goes with it. |

saxywale: 1) Yes there is but if you feel that there isn't then that's fine too but there is. Look at #30 here http://frsc.gov.ng/offences-and-penalties and this https://www.facebook.com/ICanDoRightByNigeria/posts/229166873881840 As usual we have laws, existing laws but enforcement is the issue. 2) Exactly. As it is now, there dis no real penalty now for Nigerian drivers that flaunt laws. I was wrongly accused for running red light in Ibadan and it cost me only N1,000 to get out of it. In the US I would be looking at minimum of $300 (N49,500) in my area. |

CityNG:I am just seeing that for the first time....shocked. how much would it cost the government to erect max. speed signs on roads....? speed signs are non existent. I mean, I would a driver know when he is meant to be on 15, 50, 60, 80, 90 or 100km/hr?. |
Re: FRSC To Impose Speed Limiting Devises On Nigerians by Nobody: 4:46am On Sep 16, 2014 |
saxywale: Very true they should erect more signage but in their defense the speed limits, maximum, should be known by anyone that goes through a legit drivers license procurement. There are some signs but limited and some are concrete. 1 Like |

Truck topples ...car smashed..6 dead/Tanker topples...explodes..22 dead/ Bus fails to overtake car...head on collision..11 dead/ 2 killed trying to cross expressway.....is overspeeding really one of the leading causes of road deaths?...or bad roads, wreckless driving andcareless pedestrians? Cars are made with limiters....after market limiters are added mainly by parents of teen aged drivers. Afer market limiters by the authorities to control speed? There are sooo many proven ways....I know of no country that has or even suggested suchameasure. Follow the money....who is providing the limiters...who is giving them the contract. |

saxywale: In Abuja any traffic object has a very limited life span measured in weeks, at most 2 weeks and then some drunk clubber or irate commercial vehicle driver does it in (or even a VIO officer sef, I have seen that with my two korokoro eyes). The new police traffic shelter put at an intersection close to my house lasted a few months only for me to see it in pieces one early Monday morning. My point is beyond erecting traffic objects FRSC needs to concentrate on the process of licensing drivers and enforcing driving rules. Weekends in Abuja are open season for drunken crashes so why not devote some time to arresting drunk drivers on the weekend? But no they want quick fixes that end up doing nothing. That's how they commissioned speed bumps at major intersections but did they stop or even lower accidents? Not one bit! I saw the report the FRSC consultant drew up. I wonder why they can't learn. 1 Like |

Same applies to Nigeria.Not entirly true.if there r no street furnitures and there are street lights you are in a 30mph zone thats what it says in the learners bi le check it.I dnt know of the US though cityNg can clearify that. |

erico2k2: Even, and especially if there are no speed limit signs, there is no defense to going over the default speed limits. So just because a driver doesn't see a speed limit on a California freeway that doesn't mean he can go at 100mph. The fastest speed on a California freeway is 55mph unless otherwise stated. Some freeways have 65mph and 70mph speed limits. Big trucks and cars towing trailers are always limited to a maximum speed of 55mph. |

biodunid: Another MASSIVE payday for the FRSC 'stakeholders'! Have they already finished digesting all the billions made from new plate numbers and drivers licences? They will not stop milking us until we stop acting like cows. Does anyone know of another country where the police fail to do their work but insist on vehicle owners fitting expensive devices into their vehicles? We just keep setting new records for mumuness. Just like the plate number encoding scam in Abuja. lolz 1 Like |
