Hmmm

I won't be surprised to later find out that they've turned this into a racket where they can impound and auction off people's vehicles under false pretence to third parties arranged by them.

Nothing is not corruptible in Nigeria.

Over my dead body...I rather sit-down my house on that day than to go cast my vote for who go remove my source of food from my hand

ComeToJesus:
The forfeiture smacks of high handedness; a case of killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

How about giving them fines as a worst case scenario?

The spirit of wickedness finds expression in Nigeria.

I never had the intention of replying any quote as the day has really gone into darkness. That same law has the human face if and only the operators are willing to do the right thing. Why do we choose to treat ourselves as rags and then turn to blame others for the problems we create.

Will it not be better your car goes to court and you summon courage and pay up fo the fines than just suctioning people's properties as if we are in banana republic,

Lastly why are cars of such auctioned under that kind of condition. Couldn't you see the owners crying and don't tell me all of them are actually offenders. Don't you see Danfo vehicles on BRT lanes? And the lastma officials will just look aside and if it were to be a private car user they will jump into the expressway and engage the driver in a fight for all.

Stop glorifying what is not good, you could be a victim tomorrow. Most of those roads you see the lastmat are standing on are federal roads and what right have they on federal roads. You just want to make it look as if the offenders are really bad.

Go to ojota, ketu etc and see what you call Justice. People driving in express and still calling passengers to come in. Abegggii

I don’t understand? You offend, they seize your car, they bill you, you can’t afford it, then they auction your car

This is so funny af

You are mixing a lot of things up and it seems you are talking much about something you no very little about.

1st you need to understand there is a process, i.e phases
Offenses vary buh most carry option of fine, for instance if your car is tolled today you can reclaim it today as long as you accept you are wrong n ready to pay the penalty its something i have done.

Buh when you refuse to accept you are wrong or bribe them before your car gets to impound ground thats where you are charged to court, if found guilty the court will adjudicate you pay the fine or lose the car within a given period, whatever now happens the ball is in your court.

Some of those danfos are owned by police officers, lasma & co. besides elites/private look down on danfo drivers as nonentities now why should you copy or follow individuals you classified as nonentity into a BRT lane, should we be the ones copying them or vice versa.

what is wrong is wrong buh the bitter truth remains not everybody doing bad will be caught ... the question is can you deal with being the scapegoat

Most of the time, poor or no signages, which more often than not are deliberately done by the traffic agency to catch unaware drivers or new drivers not conversant with the roads in Lagos.

I nearly fell for this when driving from Shasha in Alimosho towards the overhead bridge leading to Dopemu. If not for the gala boys, 'I for hear am'. Funny enough one of the agbero without uniform, working with the traffic guys was waiting to see me fall into the trap.
Since my new job had made me relocated to Ogun State, whenever i am going to Lagos i rather take public transport to avoid story that touch.

lagosrd:
Very very parochial and barbaric style In a modern day Ina very chaotic and rowdy environment.

They end up selling the cars at ridiculously cheap prices, and will not allow any higher bidder to come in.

Why not tell the car owner to pay a fine of the same amount of auction.

Give them the right of first refusal before you turn them into rags.

Hmmm... Do Nigerians need iron hand leadership? Yes!

You are right in your thought. But have you witnessed a hit and run driver who killed an innocent man after packing his car to cross to other lane of the road but unfortunately hit by a driver who drove against the traffic. The innocent man, (father, husband.....) killed, gone to a journey of no return carelessly.
Now who is to be blamed ? Is it the innocent man ?
Is it the government or the driver who hit and ran away?
We all clamour for a decent society, we are quick to compare UK, Canada or America to be where system works. Every body want to Japa to a more decent society but refused to obey common traffic laws in Nigeria. In UK, Canada... you want to Japa, don't they have traffic rules ? In some cases vehicles are not only impounded but also mark your driving licence or ban offenders for life. Never to drive again on any roads depending on the gravity of the offence committed. We tends to believe in bribing our ways out when committed an offence here. Everybody feels untouchable and rude to law enforcement agent claiming you have God father somewhere who will intervene in your blunders.
It can be very disheartening seeing such vehicles being auctioned but we must put our house in order if we want to get a decent society we all clamouring for.

For those that don't know this place, the bridge turns one way anything from 3pm daily. If you are unfortunate enough to miss the conspicuous "Do Not Enter" sign, na OYO you dey. I have been arrested passing the bridge before, infact my friend was arrested yesterday by LASTMA officials and they billed him 200k to get his car back. He's still running around to get the fine reduced.

I hope you people supporting and encouraging Lagos State Government and LASTMA on this madness don't make mistake, because if you do, you will realise mistakes do happen and it can happen unexpectedly. It's not everyone that go around breaking traffic laws, some just happened, and it would be too late to correct the error. When I was arrested, truly I didn't see the sign. It was not until I go back there to check that I saw it. The sign is so small and not well placed. There is high possibility of missing it while driving.

Very simple, trail whoever buys my car home and F him up with some caps.

You need a car? Buy from a dealer.
