The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced a newly adopted strategy that would ensure that any person caught using the mobile phone while driving, would no longer be fined but immediately taken to court and jailed. Corp Marshal, FRSC, Mr. Osita Chidoka said other offences like speed driving, dangerous overtaking and overloading would equally attract court action instead of the usual fines. The FRSC boss, who was speaking at a news conference in Abuja, said these new measures are part of a newly launched campaign to reduce the increased spate of road crashes in the country. Commercial bus drivers are now expected to install speed limit devices in their vehicles so they henceforth should not exceed 100km per hour. National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) however admitted that some drivers are guilty of the aforementioned road accident causing crimes. The FRSC says it is partnering with several organizations including oil companies to fulfill its promise to make Nigerian roads one of the safest in the world by the year 2020. link: http://www.channelstv.com/home/2013/06/28/make-a-call-while-driving-and-go-to-jail-frsc-warns/ 3 Likes |

Man2utd: Why don't frsc worry abt d state of d roads... It's not within their jurisdiction. FERMA and the various State govts are primarily responsible for road maintenance. 4 Likes |

Na to troway the fone anytime I see road safety. Mhen the bad ones go ask of ur fone de check ur last dialled call. In my own opinion these guys shuld leave motorists alone. Every of these policies ends with extortion which negates the original intention of goodwill. 1 Like |

This is just too harsh, every driver is guilty of one of those acts at one point or another. I think the option of fine remains the best cos our jail houses wont even be able to cope with the traffic. 3 Likes |

Good one from the FRSC. First Bullet: I hope they ll not treat celebrities & Gov officials specially. Because in Nigeria when you are a star, you can easily break some rules & still go free. Last Bullet: If you wanna make or receive call while driving, park well for one side of the road & make your call. 1 Like |

I think the option of fine remains the best cos our jail houses wont even be able to cope with the traffic. You have a point there. I would suggest that jail time should ONLY be for REPEAT offenders; this if the FRSC keeps such a record. 2 Likes |

Involve the police, tht wil ensure effective implimentation of dis bill,even if they want to cut corners, it wil serve the offender wel. |

in Nigeria? this must be joke of the century, what happen to 20 naira or how much are they collecting now. Good move though if only they can implement it without bribe. |

emyibe: ANOTHER LAW FOR THE POORmy dear don't just condemn the law. Its for our safety. It must not necessarily be the corps officers on the roads that will effectively enforce this law alone. You and I owe ourselves the duty of care, and thus the right to caution any driver that seems to offend this law or outright report to the authorities. Just remembered that poor people in Nigeria don't often have cars. 3 Likes |
