they should Enforce the law- Zero tolerance for bad drivers

If possible they should introduce biometric drivers licence like the new passport
or merge the information from the immigration service so they have a database
that way they can ban bad drivers for a period of time and if caught driving they go to jail

Insurance should be compulsory especially for commercial drivers

M.O.T checks should be made compulsory and valid for 6month at a time, no m.o.t no insurance

There should be different class of drivers licence for commercial transport drivers

Roads should be clearly marked, most roads dont have 'lanes' just bare open road

all new road contract should include solar powered street light

Highways should also have cat's eyes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat's_eye_(road)

@Mr Dis Guy,

Good ideas but how do you police zero tolerance? How do you enforce that someone whose licence has been taken away cannot get behind the wheel? Can you issue a warrant for an arrest for someone who cannot be traced? He has no bonafide address we just know he lives in "Ketu" area

If every address is in a database we can start from there apart from that I don't see it happening

most adults in nigeria are getting their 'e-passport' so their details will be stored on a database
i think the govt can collate data from School I.D, banks cards, National I.D cards and so on
we can make our own big brother Nigeria  Grin
a heavy handed approach will be to withdraw funds directly from drivers account or suspend
their debit card until they pay their fine or show up in court  Grin
