From the look of things, traffic sanity is one of the priorities of the new Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Lagos state is in for any traffic offender; they already have a special court for traffic offenders where they will be tried when caught. Added to that is the 36 Lagos State Traffic Law and The New Fines.

Traffic offense has been placed on entirely another level where forfeiture of your car can serve as a penalty.

A Nigerian after seeing all these laws lamented. From what he wrote on Facebook, he implies that Sanwo-Olu of Lagos just want to jail everybody; maybe all the traffic laws are hard to keep.

Do you think the penalties for the various traffic offenses are way too much and should be reviewed?

Obey or go to jail shikena!
Nigerians will obey all traffic rules abroad but want to be carefree in Nigeria
Bro you better buckle up, the law has come to stay!

They've exhausted all avenues of looting public fund and there's nothing left to loot.

They now turn on the poor masses and slam ridiculous laws that'll implicate everyone.

I was once arrested for parking less than 2 minutes to check my tyres to avoid accident.

I clearly parked on a safe side of the road totally devoid of traffic obstruction.

It's against traffic rules simple. What if in the process of eating, you lose concentration and crash occur. Safety first

Where are the new traffic laws anyone?

Ah. I just saw the eating + driving thing

I rebuke the spirit of plantain chips on lagos road

Does chewing gum count as eating too?

You are part of the problem we have in Nigeria, why would you even eat while driving? We pray and ask for a change and when it comes we complain.

You prefer people dying because of avoidable mistake?

I totally agree with you that eating and driving is dangerous and totally wrong. But my grievance is that their purpose and intent is to find avenues to obtain money from the common man and not that they care.

You and I are fully aware that the govt are very insensitive. Their high ranking officials will be the very ones that'll use one way, eat and drive and break these same laws.

THIS SANWO OLU OF A THING WOULD NOT PERFORM,. ALL ROADS ARE BAAD LEADING TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. LEKKI EPE EXPRESS NOW IS A DISASTER. DANGOTE TRAILERS, LACK OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS..SPOILT THE ROAD.

I understand your concerns regarding the corruption issue but i support the road safety aspect of it
