You all should reason like human. Using your phone while driving in Nigeria is an offense and even in other countries. If you have to use GPS while driving, then u should install a GPS device which is not an offense in Nigeria or any other country. Why criticizing the FRSC when they are trying to save her life and other road users (especially with this lady that's so ignorant of the rules of driving)? Every sensible driver in this country knows it's an offense to use your phone while driving now. You want to use your phone for GPS in Nigeria? Then dont get caught ! Madam thanks for paying for your ignorance, go pick your car. Be smart next time 1 Like |

this app government just like make everything dey tight and difficult for everyone, if things are easy its assumed that they are not working and there is corruption, I've always challenged frsc that none of them upon all their gragra can pass drivers test in UK let alone drive there. |

KaptainAfrika: Driving with the aid of Google map or any other sat nav isn't a traffic violation in anywhere the world except nigeria..... The nonsense law won't stand... They just bitter people no longer take wrong turns... Thus ROI is dwindling... |

pocohantas: I personally feel the issue is not with Google maps or stuff like that. The issue is that we have untrained drivers running around our streets. If the requirements for obtaining a driver's licence were as strict as in some other countries (where you go thru exams, interviews, and actual driver tests before being handed a licence), people would drive better. 1 Like |

pocohantas:Ma’am You don’t have to look at your phone, google map has a voice assistance feature, by connecting with an auxiliary cord, you tend to hear the direction from you car speak, so loud and clear. So how about cars with imbedded gps on their dashboards? Google map on using while driving will warn you to keep your eyes on the road and don’t get distracted by it. This is absolute bullocks! People die from plane crash accident but that does not totally nullifies it good aspect thereby making air travel to be banned. What needs to be enforced here is the use of auxiliary cable with the google map while driving. |

AgreatMan: On saturday i had a wedding to attend at campbell place on Lagos island. I set my google map before driving out of my gate. I know my way to that environment but because that area is fraught with urchins and area boys. So assume the FRSC stopped me at any point and checked my phone would they have been right to arrest me for the use of google map while driving? Why is this country perpetually portraying itself as this backward in the comity of nations. I am ashamed to be a Nigerian. |

pocohantas:Google map has voice prompt. You don't even have to look at it if you're educated and you know what you're doing. In 5 kilometre, turn left... In 10 kilometres, turn right.... Its easy and safe as long as you're not staring at it. I think this rule was made by someone that doesn't have a knowledge of how Google map works. 1 Like |

But frsc not too long ago released a rule that people should stop using Google maps on the road She most likely held the phone in her hands while driving,that's why she was arrested. If u want to use Google maps with your phone,it's better to get a phone holder in the car |

pocohantas: You certainly didn’t have a broad view of how google maps works, had to make it clear to you so don’t go about talking crap about what you don’t really know of. One can’t really blame you, it’s called ignorance, anyways you have been informed! |

Re: FRSC Arrests Mary Ikoku For Using Google Maps In Abuja by shino62: 7:27am On Dec 04, 2019 |
The use of phone while driving constitutes an offence. It distracts attention and causes accidents, it is in our overall interest to maintain this law. Period! You committed an offence and was rightly punished. |
