Lol...will you really do less than 120 on a Sunday morning on 3MB when the road is so phucking free? That's an opportunity to put your car at a speed test. But then, you do that at your own risk. You kill yourself, people will shout eeeyaaa! And type RIP for you and still chop puff or akara at your funeral .

That doesn't make any sense,since the only available and affordable means of travelling to a distance destination is by road..........you don't expect a driver travelling from ogoja to ph to run a max of 100km/hr

Speed limit for Naija? ...Amen.

Re: Speed Limits For Vehicles In Nigeria – FRSC by UgojiC(m): 3:49pm On Mar 17, 2017

Even if it is a good move I totally disagree with it. Even the so called officials don't adhere to it not to talk of convoys that run as though they are about taking off.

120km/h is still ok in expressway for private cars

Re: Speed Limits For Vehicles In Nigeria – FRSC by Edoblakky(m): 3:52pm On Mar 17, 2017

talk2uwem:
pls tell FRSC to make it 150 for privates and 130 for public cars/bus

That is too high in my opinion. In Canada with very sweet roads, the highest speed limit is 110km/hr . In the USA, the highest is 130km/hr (i.e 80mph) on transcountry highways. While within, it's 75mph on interstate highways.
Speed limits are conspicuously displayed for all to see. And if you're caught driving above the limit, you get fined on the spot. There are some areas like school or playground zones and construction zones. If you violate speed limits there, your fine doubles.

We do not have good road development. FRSC does not have a database of all registered cars in Nigeria. It's easy to register a car in all 36 states without the car being sold. These and many other things will make a monkery out of this law.

Will FRSC do 100km/hr when chasing a defaulter?

The odometers of most cars on our roads (Tokunbo) are calibrated in miles. That max. speed of 100kmph will be 62mph

Are you aware we have speed limits in Nigeria?

Implementation may be next to non but the policy does exist as seen in the attached snapshot.

The maximum speed limit in Nigeria is 100km/hr… and there is even a caveat that says “Ignorance of the law is not an excuse”

Tell us if you like these speed limits to be implemented or not..

This backward FRSC hasn't updated their mediocrity. 100 km/hr since 1960 when cars still use manual carburetor and SOHC.

They only know how to update their revenue. Mindless thieves.

Eagerly waiting for them to stop me in the highway when I gun 140/160 km/hr

It is only this Government can enforce. What of bad roads that causes 90% of accidents in Nigeria?

This is not achievable! You want a commercial bus traveling from like PH to Abuja to ride on 90km/h?

Na Nairaland na E you talk. Try entering a Bus from Benin to Lagos that has speed limiter set at 90 km and leave Benin for lagos at 2 PM.

Na so arm robbers go dey rob you, hand you over to the next set.

I enter Edegbe bus from Benin to Lagos, moto leave garage a few minutes after 12noon, we got to berger 6 PM...........

No traffic, nothing for road. Once driver starts getting close to 90km/HR. The limiter will start to beep, the moment the vehicles goes above 90km for more than 10 second, the vehicle will automatically drop down 60 km. ..........

I just dey imagine, if I do mistake enter that kind mo say I dey Jos from Lagos..........

I go just leave Lagos 17 March 2017 arrive jos 18 March 2019, hear say them don declare results for presidential elections.......

That is assuming arm robbers no beat shege commot for my body before I reach there.............

Nonsense and ingredients policy of a selfie taking government that believe that recession is just a word..........

Hehehehehehehe i hate slow vehicle...speed limiter is not for me

I don't think this is possible on third mainland. Even at 100,you'd be forced to slow down cos of vehicles in front of you. I've tried it a couple of times and I couldn't get past 100.

Re: Speed Limits For Vehicles In Nigeria – FRSC by jtwest(m): 4:17pm On Mar 17, 2017

baba ajani's tortoise bus cannot even reach 34km/hr so he will never be an offender. if he tries to run the bus will divide and the driver's section will speed off.

Exactly! I was eating where some commercial drivers were doing same in Lokoja the other day. some who already had the speed limiter installed in their vehicle were complaining of tiredness already; just for driving from Abuja to Lokoja and Benin to Lokoja.

To think theirs was even calibrated on 100km/h.

NextGovernor:
We have already been practicing this erroneously since I was born. Which road will you run above 100km/hr in Nigeria?

In streets you can't even run more than 20km/hr
In town you can't run more than 40km/hr
in highway you can't run more than 60km/hr
Expressway you can't run more than 80km/hr all becos of potholes, fallen trailers and Police check points.

Before this nonsense people talk about spend limit they should hammer on good roads first because 80% of accidents in Nigeria are caused by bad roads not over speed.

You obviously do not reside in Lagos... The traffic limit is very important here, and I will beg them to enforce it
