10 Driving Offences In Lagos And Their Penalties by AutoJoshNG: 5:40am On Jul 14, 2016 |
Ignorance of the law, they say is not an excuse. In order not to find yourself in a fix with the law enforcement officers, kindly read through the listed traffic offences in Lagos and their penalties: 1)Driving without valid driver's license: Your vehicle will be impounded. For the vehicle to be released, you have to present evidence that you have paid for a new license. You also have to pay for the vehicle's storage at the agency's facility.. 2)Driving of any vehicle by persons under 18 years old: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. The vehicle will be impounded and a vehicle storage fee will be paid be its release. 3)Learner driver without permit: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. You must present evidence of payment for learner's permit and storage fee must be paid before the impounded vehicle is released. 4)Driving an unlicensed vehicle: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. You may also be imprisoned for 3 years. 5)Physical assault to a traffic officer: N50,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment. 6)Driving a right hand vehicle: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. The vehicle must be converted to a left hand drive immediately. 7)Driving without valid vehicle documents: The vehicle will be impounded. It will only be released after you present evidence of payment for the outstanding vehicle document(s) e.g vehicle license, road worthiness etc. Smoking while driving: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. 9)Driving a trailer or other vehicle carrying unlatched and unsecured containers: The fine is N250,000 and the vehicle will be impounded. 10)Excessive smoke emission: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. It will be a big relief to several Lagosians if some of these policies and penalties are implemented to the fullest especially the unlatched containers and the excessive smoke emission. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

Smoking while driving: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. How is this a crime? Did you mean drinking while driving? Why can't a smoker smoke cigarettes in his or her own car if he or she desires? Weird. Never heard of that type of law before. 16 Likes 1 Share |

The last one is 1k for all offences. Paid to police. That is why I tell people, if police catch u and u can not call any of ur friends in the force, no follow them to any where oooo No dey form right cos by the time they bring out ur official fine, u will calm down but it will already be too late. 11 Likes 1 Share |

What happen to the first offenders giving warning, rather than paying N30k. Most developed countries warned first offenders and also educate them rather than a fine in the first instance. Nice punishment/fines sha. At least, it will take some of LAGOS mad men off the road. 1 Like |

The one for containers and tankers ought to be increased 4 fold, those guys really need to be safety conscious not just believe that they can bash any car or cause accidents without any penalty. 3 Likes |

SmartMugu: Two hands on the steering wheel, no distractions. Eating while driving is also an offence, so also is making a phone call while driving. (A Lagos State official once said that you shouldn't be arrested if you are doing it while the car is stationary [eg, in a traffic jam). 5 Likes 1 Share |

To a large extent, these rules are enforced except for the 9th one. I've only seen a trailer with latched container once and it wasn't on the road. 1 Like |
