The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has urged motorists to always use the seat belt while driving as it can lessen the severity of injury in case of an accident.

The FRSC Zonal Legal Officer in Enugu, Mr Morison Agulanna, gave the advise in interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Thursday.

He said the use of seat belt in vehicles had gone a long way to reduce death rate and injury on Nigerian roads.

“Proper use of seat belt reduces severity of injury and fatality at the point of crash on the road,’’ he said.

According to Agulanna, the enforcement of the use of the seat belt began in Nigeria in 2007, while other nations of the world have made it mandatory for every motorist to wear the seat belt and sit in perfect driving position.

“Wearing a seat belt is a traffic regulation in every part of the world.

“The seat belt when worn in proper order in your normal driving posture keeps you seated no matter how hard the impact is.

“There are many accidents where the driver is thrown out of the car and this can be fatal,’’ he said.

He said no matter the number of security features a vehicle had, motorist should not underestimate the worth of the seat belt.

“Also, no matter how expert a driver is, he or she must share the road with others.

“That is why FRSC insists that every driver wears safety seat belt,” he added.

There is no special forces attached to Ember Month rather some drivers are reckless while some have no experience of the routes coupled with bad roads in the country.

It is good to wear seatbelt.

That is how someone I knew wore seatbelt....and ended up in an accident with far less severe injuries that he would have had if he had not worn seatbelt.

So our lives is only important in ember month. It's all right.

Noted. A word is enough for the wise

Seat belt is a must. Do it for yourself, don't wait to be ticketed for it.

Hmmm.... should they be begging or enforcing the law?.... and internationally seat belt is compulsory for front seat occupants only.

Have u noticed that our law enforcement agencies tend to employ overweight and irregular shaped people. Especially the NPF. I always wonder how they'll chase an offender on foot and get hold of such person.


On the topic, I feel d seat belt shouldn't just b used this period but at all times. Planes have them, if it's possible for okada to have sef
