Most vital point she made. “The worst kind of illiteracy is the illiteracy of a government.” |

SIRTee15: I know how it works. I use it all the time. If I am not using the voice prompt, I always have the decency to pull over and check my positioning and how long I have to get to the next turn off. Yes it delays me somewhat, and yes, it is inconvenient, but it is a smaller inconvenience than a parent having to carry his broken child to a hospital because I don't want to spend an extra 5 minutes getting to my destination. |

Goalnaldo:Yes he is thank you. He broke his legs in the incident, but was operated on and is walking normally now. The driver was using a phone while driving and she ran into him while he was standing by the road side. I don't know whether she was on google maps or texting or calling. I did not ask. |

mrMeen:I always make a good attempt to read the "report" before commenting. But the post which contained the clarification from FRSC was by an individual further down in the thread; it wasnt in the original post. You absolutely do not expect me to read through every comment and opinions dropped by individuals in a thread do you? |

If she was holding her phone, then its wrong. If she has a phone holder,its ok. Cos even cars have GPS. The thread title is misleading Kayharry: |

This is very simple strurv (in falz voice). It is like they want all road users needing directions per time to redirect all their requests from maps systems optimized to make navigation easier just so navigation can be much more harder and time wasting and they'd stop their work and become THE navigators instead. |

Kayharry:DM me if you can. This is not an established offence. I will do this case for you if you are interested and they will rather pay you damages for wrongful arrest. Besides, you can't move around aAbuja without GPS. There are just few directional signs |

She probably held the phone in one hand while maneuvering the steering wheel with the other. That is a sure hazard and I commend the FRSC for putting a stop to her antics. When answering calls ensure to put the phone down and use the speaker mode. You should not hold the phone while driving because you are bound for an accident, if not on that day then one sure day. When using Google Maps buy a hanger for your phone or switch on the voice mode which gives directions while driving. |

Sue FRSC in a competent court and demand for Justice. Why the advocacy of ICT? They are all illiterates |

RisenPhoenix: Sat nav works by real time.... When u stop, it stops.... It directs u as u drive.... Cars now have GPS installed on their dashboard..... They aren't stupid, manufacturers know what they are doing.... There's no proof anywhere it puts road users at risk or it increases the incidence of accidents on the road... ... If anything it helps naive drivers avoid wrong turns, thereby making roads safer.... |

She is not telling the whole truth. A phone holder or parking on the side of the road to enter address would have saved her from a fine. It is irrelevant if she was on Google or changing phone's music playlist connected via Bluetooth. She is getting fined for being distracted via the use of an handheld device while driving. 1 Like
