What's FRSC speed limit for private vehicles, trucks and persenger vehicles each?

bash4us:
Let no officer ask me of my speed limiter ooo. The emphasis is on commercial not private. Understand!?

nedu2000:
I have it installed and I am pissed. 'oyibo way raise speedometer reach 220km/h are they fools?'.
Scenarios can occur when I would have to drive beyond 90,like forest fires and robberies. Now i'm just a sitting duck!! Speeding should be the decision/discretion of the trained driver.

Ezedon:
How does this reduce the price of garri, fuel and dollar?

Mboi2:
@Op, how much does this device cost? FRSC said it's N45K to N52k depending on your type of vehicle. If your vehicle does not have the sensors necessary for the installation, I don't know how they'll do it to install it.
Also information from a reliable source said the actual cost of that device is N5K but after adding money for different people and for different purposes, it came up as high as N45000.

My question about this device is, in a situation where armed robbers are chasing the vehicle with the speed limit on the highway, how will the vehicle run in other not to be caught by those robbers.

The major cause of accident in Nigeria is bad roads. Is it not where you have smooth road that you overspeed? Also let the price of this device come as low as N8000 so that motorists will be able to buy it.

gbadexy:
The op forgot to tell us the cost of installing it and it's effect on the vehicle besides limiting speed.
If it was compulsory abroad, all used buses and trucks imported would have come with them.
What's the use of a truck with speed limiter when the roads are full of pot holes to limit speed already.
The device costs upwards of N40000 to install, not to talk of the process involved.
I see it as another meaningless scheme to enrich some party contractor just like the issue of plate number.

incredibleace:


we can do for #40000 for the total package,but if your car speed sensor is manual you will be needing the external speed sensor for conversion to electric,that will attract additional cost.

GPS enabled device is not approved by the FRSC.

GAZZUZZ:


Most busses plying lagos to ibadan, oyo,ondo, ilessha, do not have engine ECUS what happens to those busses?

oyienootieno:


And what is the insurance policy, Incase of damage or fire strike as a result of wrong assembling?

incredibleace:


this is where our external speed sensor cable comes in,it will convert it from manual(i.e cables) to electronic(which will go to the device)

oyienootieno:


It is just a money making avenue. The we need to unite and disgrace any officer charging beyond the official rate. Or better still find a good technician to install it i don't trust does man no man officers.

GAZZUZZ:


when GPS would have been stand alone. By the time an unqualified personal does the wrong thing, car starts having issues. What if the cable is faulty or defective?

I practically fell asleep twice while driving as i cldnt even get up to 90km/hr On a brand new hilux (like seriously).
I think this Law shld be reviewed!!! overtaking Tankers and Other heavy duty vehicles was quite a battle. How is one to travel frm lagos to Abuja on less than 90km/hr.. May God Help us for as soon as the highway boiz get to knw; we will all be done for.
I doubt if the FRSC clearly tot this tru or if their own vehicles have it installed.

The funny thing is they do not stop all the rickety commercial buses, danfo, tankers ànd d likes; but will rush to the road when a brand new hilux is comming simply cus my no is commercial.

somethin will definitely give!!!

FRSC has become a profit making organisation as they are quick to issue tickets n fine, This fines which i belive should be remited to coffers of the domiciled Local govment where offence was commited and not into the hands of A federal agency that is fully funded by the FG.

Generating revenue seems to be their biggest intrest just like the VIO... i clearly remember the issue of the reflective stickers(God of Israel let me leavr that for another day).

My advice to any1 is to delay the installation till the very end when a huge chunk of vehicles will have it installed or when the law is repelled.

Ikwokrikwo:
For a private or commercial vehicle?

A Speed limiter is an engine control device which interfaces with the engine control unit (ECU - some people call it brain box) and speedometer of a vehicle to restrict the engine speed once the vehicle reaches a pre-configured speed. A speed limiter may work by reducing the airflow into the vehicle engine, the fuel supply to the engine or adjust the timing of the engine's ignition system to keep the vehicle from exceeding the preset speed limit imposed by the limiter.

Speed limiters are common on many types of vehicles and are usually compulsory devices equipment on trucks and commercial vehicles in some jurisdictions. Different government agencies may enact Laws that require speed limiters for use in commercial vehicles. The main reason for installing speed limiters is that limiting the speed of these type of vehicles may improve highway safety. In the scenario of a passenger car, the reason for speed limiters is generally to prevent the vehicle from exceeding speeds that may affect certain design limitations and improve safety of the vehicle.

The Federal Road Safety Commission in line with a resolution reached with National Automotive Design and Development Council of Nigeria (NADDC), Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) and other stakeholders has made it mandatory for all vehicles in Nigeria with emphasis on commercial vehicles (buses, trailers, tankers and trucks) to install Speed Limiting Device before a deadline of October 1st, 2016.

inception101:


do you kno that your brakes will not even function for few seconds wen u try to exceed the speed limit. Thus, reducing your speed back to 40/50km/hr. Honestly its adeath trap wen u have traillers plying your route

fadafuqer:
So what's my business? Mynd44 na u put am for FP lemme report to uncle seun
