That is outrageous . Suspend licence , seize the car for a month etc but to charge 50k for traffic light violators will increase the violent reaction of erring drivers and it will endanger the lives of both the motorists and the frsc officers .

How much would we fine roadsafety for the unsafe bad roads. Should we fine them to pay for the cost of repairing our cars also?
Stupid clueless gov.

This people should be converted to search and rescue corps they are becoming a nuisance to motorist on the Nigerian road

So any organization can just wake up and charge any amount they want without due consideration.

Boys scout will soon come up with their own
This is what I call misplacement of priority

50k ko 500k ni

E BAMI KIGBE OLE OLE OLE OOO!!!

50K fine is too much though. The fines should not be more than min wage.

STAY POSITIVE MY FRIENDS, watch the music lyric video below:

Why are traffic laws here so punitive yet, motorists refuse to change?

Because those expected to enforce the laws do not respect it themselves. They are only interested in extortions and shake downs. Times without number, you find those supposed to uphold the law disobeying it with impunity, the worse offense - driving one way at top speed. We haven't forgotten the poor lady who lost a leg due to a reckless bullion van driving against traffic in Warri.

The only motivator for these officers to do their jobs is an intimidating fine which will compel the erring driver to bribe his way out for a lesser but quit pricey sum.

Everyone just commenting, no one is here to say the truth. It shows we all love lawlessness and we are expecting a better Nigeria.
If you are not an offender you won't pay a dime.

What is the statutory duty of FRSC? Are they established to generate money? and no one has ever asked, which account are they generating the money to?

How do they intend to implement this? There are so many traffic enforcement agencies. Hence the confusion. In my opinion, I think state governments should be responsible for traffic laws in their states and FRSC should be responsible for highways.

Dead on arrival.

If and only they will fine politicians and other higher forces who is bound to violate the law..

How much is the minimum wage again? These people are not thinking at all!

Will you be forced to pay if you do not break the rule?
Na complaining una sabi
no one will ask you to pay 50k if you broke no rule!
stubborn people!

cRobo:
The hustling by FRSC is real

From Google Map to this

Guess what next

No talking while driving because its a form of distraction

No playing of music in the car.

They should not go and look for betrer thing to do thiefs

Street lighs wey no dey work

Is it all these malfunctional street lights that they want to use to be penalizing people. They're mad oo

soberdrunk:
50k for traffic offence in a country with 30k Minimum wage.....

It is a deterrent measure to curb the menace, better still motorist should avoid breaking traffic rules

A welcome development at least it will scare some Nigerians however this policy may fail.FRSC staff although not all would use this to their advantage by waiting for motorist to default

soberdrunk:
50k for traffic offence in a country with 30k Minimum wage.....

Yea that's good deal cos of the huge fine the motorist will respect the law finally!
The same thing they do in western world! Naija one is even considerate!!

50k for traffic offence in a country with 30k Minimum wage.....

People who earn minimum wage are the poorest in the society. They don't own cars in any country..
Use your brain

I don't see anything bad in this,if you know you will fall victim of this kindly leave you car at home by this,you'll help reduce the number of vehicles plying the road hence traffic reduction.

But the major problem here is that not all traffic lights are working...

soberdrunk:
50k for traffic offence in a country with 30k Minimum wage.....

No correlation between the two.

There are still offenses in Nigeria that the judge will fine you N2500.

Come to think of it, why should a sane man disobey the light that is meant to ensure orderliness?

It is only in Nigeria that you will see a traffic police standing by the traffic light. In sane societies, the light alone is. enough .

Drive as if every child walking by the road side is your child. Simple.

Still part of vision 2020.lol. more to come

Hmmmm

I think in the doctrine of justice, punishment should be commensurate with the crime.. How do you fine someone N50, 000 for breaking traffic law?
