I can't believe an idiot looked @ dis thread and called it 'meaningless' and a second idiot said 'just pay and forget'! Threads like dis are supposed to be the main reason for nairaland's existence rather dan talkin abt wot one celebrity wore to an occasion or other nonsense! Let's learn to join the fight against dis menaces and collective official gang of criminals (frsc,Vio,lastma,kia) as the are not adding value to dis country in anyway. they shld be restricted to controlling traffic and responding to road emergencies 4 Likes |

I have questions based on a personal experience, 1) if one is fined for driving with two 'worn out tyres' is one required to pay the fine immediately? the offence sheet says you have 7 days to make payment before being taken to court. 2) Does the FRSC have the right to collect ones car keys even after no resistance whatsoever from the 'offender'? 3) Does the FRSC have the right to drive ones car into their premises while the owner is in the bank trying to pay the fine and without the owners knowledge and insist on the two tyres being replaced with new ones before the vehicle can be released? 4)How long is the grace period given by the FRSC before a driver can renew his license. I will really appreciate answers to these questions of mine. thanks. |

Ijscarface: Sadly the Road Safety guys can claim she couldn't produce it as at when she was booked and they were not under obligation to help her search for it. Had there been fire she equally wouldn't have the privilege of people helping her search for her extinguisher. It is an important piece of equipment she ought to be able to immediately access if need arises. Let spare those guys, though they can be pain in ass sometimes (Just like they have been to me), in this case they were trying to help your mum. I have seen someone lose his car in fire because he didn't have an extinguisher and I have witnessed another motorist helped save another's car because he quickly produced his own extinguisher to help. |

I think maturity is needed here. I don't believe someone until I hear the other side but u admit that they did not collect bribe from you. However I have seen instances where Frsc let's u go with a warning, it has happened to me, so I believe approach matters a lot, ladies simply don't have it. Snapping and posting their pictures when they have committed no offence is wrong, it is your word against theirs, and now the men will work with vengeance, you have simply blown away the chance of millions who would have been pardoned, no more abeg sir, they will not work with mercy again. 1 Like |

frsc should be more concerned with that funny looking dangerous muddy road in that picture. stupid agencies that should have been merged with the police. Its even funny how they catch speeding vehicles when they dont have speed limit signs on roads and radar detectors. Nigeria is one big jungle. 1 Like

tete7000:All the the safety kits requirements are not meant for Windows dressing. If, in case of emergency, 100% compliance will not achieve the desired objective, if one or drivers are ignorant of their positioning. This , in no way, is not in defence of FRSC |

Re: FRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Originalsly: 8:36am On Aug 06, 2016 |
@Op..... What exactly did the FRSC do that was against the law or their duty? Wasn't your mother supposed to follow the rules by producing the kit upon request by the officers? She failed to... and the officers did what is required of them when someone fails to produce the kit. Isn't that being professional? Both you and your mother want to be wrong and strong instead of being humble and apologetic and hope the officers just give a warning. Attitude is a big deal breaker. You chasing after and confronting the officers just shows how wrong and how strong you be. Travel to a developed country... similar situation... similar behaviour... you would be shocked at the number of charges and the heavy fines and maybe jail time you would be facing. You're out of order in this situation. |

Re: FRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Fawklicant: 8:50am On Aug 06, 2016 |
tete7000: Spot on bros! A lot of people co,menting here are just being emotional including the @op. His mum couldnt produce any of the items she was asked to produce and they were not under any obligation to help her search. If she had a flat tire or involved in a fire, how would she have warned oncoming motorists/tried to stop the fire? A ticket already issued by the FRSC is irreversible, even if the corps marshall (oga patapata) intervenes, the highest he (corps marshall) can do is to pay the fine for the offender. That is how they operate, so your best bet is not to let them issue the ticket in the first place. The op's mum broke the law and he started taking pictures and pasting them on social media even when her car is still with them? Dumb move, very very dumb move. Now they can even mandate her to come for compulsory training for some days and psyche eval before releasing her car to her. You think you can just come to social media and post trash and enjoy a pity party even when you are monumentally wrong? You are acting emotionally not logically. A lot of times, frsc would let you slide if it is a minor offence like tail lights malfunction or stuff like that, but tires/extinguishers/windshields/hydraulic jack/warning triangle and the likes are very necessary basics that they do not overlook and rightly so. Be polite to law enforcement, and you'd be amazed at the results. I'm not saying you should lick butts or play suck up and go all paddy paddy, no! Be polite. Never got a booking from FRSC/VIO in the past 5 years and I meet them regularly. Above all, make sure you are on the right side of the law. 2 Likes |

guuttj: She would not be given any warning, she'd be lucky if she is allowed to drive in the foreseeable future. You don't know where warning triangle is in your car as small as a car is neither do you know where fire extinguisher is? Two very important things that your life could depend on? You might as well not know where the spare tire is! Wrong on all levels. |

It's very annoying that the mindset of the average Nigerian youth is wired to accept corruption. You can imagine the nonsense some people are typing here. She was supposed to be given only a warning for not knowing the position of the extinguisher. |
Re: FRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Fawklicant: 9:07am On Aug 06, 2016 |
LizFem: I'm not an frsc official but from experience, I can answer some of your questions. 1.You have the stipulated days to pay. You don't have to pay immediately. 2. Your keys will be collected after your car has been taken into their premises 3. You will be asked to drive your car into their premises, failure to comply, your car would be towed into their premises and you'd be made to pay the towing charges eventually. The offence for which you were arrested has to be corrected first so yes! You have to replace tires before vehicle is released to you. 4. To the best of my knowledge, no grace period. As soon as it is about to expire, go for renewal. Besides, you'd even get a reminder on your mobile phone to do so in most cases. Always stay on the right side of the law, at least try to. 2 Likes |
