Government should also be held responsible for the following offences

1. Pothole laden roads - N1m or impeachment or both
2. Non functional traffic lights - N1m
3. Non functional street lights - N1m
4. Non availability of road signs - N500k
5. Non availability of pedestrian bridges - N1m
6. No availability of alternative routes - N1m

And alot more. Government also has a responsibility


Exactly! They are never accountable for anything, never penalized for everything, yet they are always so quick to drop the sledgehammer on citizens for non-criminal offenses. If that is the case, then the State governor, head of civil service, local government/ LCDA chairmen etc need to be fined and/or imprisoned too whenever they do any wrong thing.

They don't get it. The problem is not the law, but the implementation. Even if the penalty is just N5000 pere, if it is strictly implemented, people will behave themselves. Making traffic law draconian is counter productive because people who would have ordinarily paid the fine would pay helfty bribe to get off when the penalty is jail term. So, the govt has just succeeded in making it easier for law enforcement agents to corruptly enrich themselves.

In the face of the law, there is no ignorance, once you commit an offence, you get the result immediately. The Lagos Traffic Law regime is designed to protect law-abiding road users. It is also designed to ensure that those who flout any of its stipulations are made to face the consequences of their action so that they can be reformed and join the law-abiding group.

Traffic offences are called Strict Liability Offences: you do the offence, you pay the consequence. However, the traffic management regime is not designed to empower officials of any agency of the State to molest, intimidate, extort or make a lawbreaker out of any Lagos resident/stakeholder through the demanding and giving of bribes so as to avoid unsavoury situations. These are the full list of the Lagos Traffic Offences and Penalties.

And the funny part ... Most of the people commenting here neither live in Lagos or don't drive a car. Why the cry?
Because if they live in Lagos they'll know that Lastma is more responsible under Ambode and sometimes even allow some offenders to go away without collecting money if the person is apologetic. The era of hide and seek is over. Most drivers know the rule. Note too that ignorance is not an excuse.

In a civilized society, people don’t get jailed for a traffic offense. They get traffic tickets, not prison sentences. It is under military dictatorships and oppressive regimes that such happens
