I keep getting different quotes from cases with police officers. Some will say you will pay 5000 for each expired document, some say you will pay 25000. Recently i discovered my vehicle license expired a month ago, the police officer than stopped me said it was a huge offence to drive with expired vehicle license.

He said i should pay N25,000, i laughed so hard and he said i should say what i can do out of the required 25k. I told him i just found out now, so i will go right away to renew it, but i could spare N500. He got furious and said they will take me to the station . Some hopped in, while others escorted my with their police vehicle, like i was a terrorist .

We got to the station, they said they would collect the car keys. I said fine, i had to rush to the bank before they close. I left the car for them and took transport to the bank. The officer even gave me his phone number to call him when i am ready .

I told them i was going to renew the papers and come with the recent one, he said even if i renew the papers, i have to pay my fine.

Finally, when i was done with all i had to do, called him, we met and settled for N2000.


So i really want to know what is the exact penalty for driving with expired vehicle particulars.
