My vehicle license expired in March this year and I renewed it immediately. But the vehicle insurance and road worthiness still had some weeks to expire, that made me to relax and waited till the first week of May. I renewed the vehicle insurance as planned and was given a date for computerized vehicle inspection before the road worthiness certificate could be issued. I was at the inspection station yesterday, my car was subjected to series of tests and at the end the message was "congratulations your car passed all the tests". I was directed to the admin office to collect my certificate, that was when I got the shock of my life. A document was printed out and I was like, "you guys should give me the certificate and let me go". The officer then handed the document to me and said "your car was booked last month and you need to pay the fine before you can get the certificate". I checked the document and I was fined 20k for driving with expired vehicle insurance and 20k for driving without a valid road worthiness certificate, all totaling 40k. What is this! I exclaimed. On checking the date I was booked on 19th April 2022 at 16:53. Looking back, I deduced that I must had been booked around Alausa area in Ikeja. That is the "gbese" on my neck now o!

My advise to the car users is that please don't wait until your driving license, vehicle license, road worthiness etc expire before you commence renewal process, LASG have installed cameras at strategic locations in Lagos that are tracking and monitoring all vehicles. The camera is also booking the traffic offenders as well, so take heed now.

In case you want to find out if you have been booked for traffic offence, simply visit "https://payvis.ng" and type your vehicle registration/plate number in the box and search.

Will this Stop LASMA from harassing people on the road?

I think they should leave the work for the camera to do

On the 2nd thought

Can't you go to the Neigbouring state to renew your vehicle License?

I understood that will only be acceptable if the vehicle does not bear Lagos state number, I don't as well know how truth is that.

Supposing you change Location to another state

Won't you ever renew the License again?

That's not true.... If you live in Kaduna and using Lagos state number plates will you drive to Lagos before you get your road worthiness??

I don't know why this post has not been moved to frontage since morning. People are raising valid points here and asking important questions that need to be answered.
Mods please help do the needful. Thanks.

I think I was misunderstood. The message is that yes, you can get your vehicles papers in any state, but if you are leaving in Lagos you will need to obtain the papers and renew them in Lagos, otherwise the camera will still interpret that you are not having papers and book you , because the systems are not linked.
The way out is that if one registers the vehicle in another state and does the renewal in another state, you will not have the cause to go to the VIS office where your bookings will be revealed, even if the camera books you.

Omoooo....God go provide cars for we weh never get.

All these money that the government generated will still be looted by the same public officials and politicians.

how can a state fine a citizen on top of his personal property which he bought and maintains by himself.it is all shade of wrong, Hmmm I so much miss ambode,we have high handed criminals as governor of Lagos.i pray Rhode vivour wins this election.so all this rubbish will come to an end.this nonsense doesn't even happen in the north at all,only in Lagos ,absolute power corrupts absolutely, sanwolu is a useless criminal.

I wonder how much your fine could have reached by the time you want to renew the certificate.
