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.

I am a Special Marshal. The lady was not telling the whole truth and thank you for setting the record straight. Driving a car requires you to place your two hands on the steering wheel. Anything short of this is an infraction of the traffic rules. The FRSC is not against the use of Google map but how you use it.

Where was she when they've shouting it on FM in abj?

The attention of the Fede ral Road Safety Corps has been drawn
to an online publication where the
Sector Commander, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Corps Commander Wobin Ayuba
Gora was quoted out of context on the use of google map app while driving, during
the 2019 ‘Ember Months’ flag off held in Lugbe, FCT on Wednesday.

According to the writer, the FCT Sector Commander while
delivering his ember months address stated that driving with the aid of Google
map using mobile phone is a serious traffic offence.

The Corps wishes to state that the Sector Commander must have
been misquoted and his statement outrightly misrepresented because the Federal
Road Safety Corps as a technology driven organisation is not and has never
stood against the use of google map by motorists.

To state the obvious, we have always enlightened the public on
the position of the law on use of phone while driving which the Sector
Commander tried to emphasize during the flag off.

The statement he made during the flag off buttresses the
position of the Corps, which is that any driver who intends to deploy the use
of Google map while driving must have it
set on the phone before embarking on the journey, not while the vehicle is
already in motion as this could be dangerous to the driver and other road
users, and can lead to road traffic crash.

We say this because, available records have shown that use of
phone for whatever purpose; be it text, voice calls, chats, browsing, setting
google map to find location etc while driving could be distractive and can
easily lead to loss of concentration. This has led to many road traffic crashes
with attendant loss of lives and properties.



On the strength of this, the Federal Road Safety Corps wishes
to reiterate its position on use of phone while driving as a dangerous and
hazardous road traffic behaviour which has led to unwanted and avoidable road
crashes.

We therefore call on all motorists who intend to deploy the
use of google map on their phone especially during the festive season when
traffic density is high, to activate such before setting the vehicle in motion
so as to ensure 100 percent concentration on the wheels.

Road Safety is State of Mind, Road Traffic Crash is Absence of
Mind. Stay Alert, Stay Alive! FRSC Cares for Your Safety.
