Lagos State Govt has reportedly introduced a new Traffic Management Solution that is aimed at solving the gridlock situation in the state. Read more!

Fresh reports have it that the government of Lagos state has recently introduced a new Traffic Management Solution (TMS) to help solve the recurring gridlock situation across the state. This new “solution” was reportedly introduced by the state government on Wednesday 7th of July 2021. The TMS system is said to be designed for the proper management of traffic violation cases as well as solving gridlock issues.

The government of Lagos state has reportedly launched a new Traffic Management Solution to tackle gridlock and traffic violations

According to Mr Frederick Oladeinde, this newly introduced TMS device will be handled by the LASTMA and VIS agencies to carry out their regular operations in a “renewed” manner. He explained that the handheld device will actually be linked to a central control room where each device’s activity will be captured and monitored in real-time.

Mr Oladeinde even went further to assure Lagos motorists that the new device will now bring “transparency” to the operations of traffic management agencies across the state. He says the transparency will be made possible by the fact that the new TMS will always capture photo and video evidence for every traffic violation case.

Sad news as FRSC confirms the death of 23 people in a recent ghastly accident involving a trailer truck that was heading to Lagos state. Read more!

While many families are happily celebrating the festive season with their loved ones, the family of some 23 people would be mourning the recent death of their children that died in a recent truck accident along Makera-Mokwa road in Niger State.

Yes, it is very sad news to hear at such a time like this because several warnings are usually given to commercial motorists in Nigeria during this time, but only a few of them normally take heed. This is mostly the only cause of many horrifying car crashes during the Christmas and New Year celebration period in Nigeria.

What is more painful about this accident news is the fact that the Niger State FRSC boss specifically revealed that it was mainly caused by failure to obey proper traffic rules. He claimed that the truck driver actually lost control of the heavy-duty trailer causing the horrific crash that made the vehicle somersaulted. The FRSC boss ended his comment by concluding and confirming that violation of government-specified Speed Limits resulted in the loss of control which caused the terrible accident.

Meanwhile, just a few days ago, an FRSC official explained on national TV that the agency will do all it can to ensure that Nigerian motorists comply with traffic rules during this festive period. Below is the press report video of this update.

2) unchecked low engine oil quality
3)hot weather
4) using A.C on when parked and engine running on many occasions

No one wishes to have a brake failure which might cost the lives of the car's occupants in the worst scenario. That's why you need to read this post!

The prayer against brake failure is a prayer every religious Nigerian is conversant with.

But have you ever wondered how brake failure occurs? Is it sudden and unpredictable? Is it something beyond your control, hence controlled by supernatural forces?

The answer to these questions is a big, bold “NO”!

While human error or actions cannot be totally ruled out before a brake failure occurs, there are many signs you will most probably notice and that you need to pay attention to.

These signs often spell the difference between safety and trouble. It begs the question: Do you know how the braking system in your car works? Do you know what a brake pad is and what it does? No need to panic because in this article we share with you all you need to know about brake pads!

The braking system is one of the most vital parts in a car
What you need to know about brake pads

We would be exploring with you the meaning of a braking system and telling you what a brake pad is and the purpose it serves in your car. We would also briefly discuss the different types of brake pads and itemize some of the brake pads sold on the Nigerian market.

We believe this content will help you learn something new.

A braking system refers to all those component parts involved in the slowing down or halting of a car in motion. This is done by the conversion of kinetic energy to mechanical energy.

See?

Not so hard after all?
What then is a brake pad and what does it do in my car?

The brake pad is arguably the most vital component of your braking system. It is the part that is responsible for slowing or stopping the car by working against the rotor to bring the car to a halt.

Without the brake pads, all parts such as the brake drum, caliper, disc, and rotor, will not function effectively. In addition, the brake pads protect all other component parts of the braking system from immediate wear. Essentially, the brake pad gets you home safe.

The functions of a braking system in a car could be summarized as:

- It helps in slowing down and stopping the vehicle.
- It serves as a means to regulate the brake pressure, thereby enhancing the driver’s ability to better control his speed.
- It facilitates emergency stop when the need arises.
- The conversion and absorption of kinetic energy to mechanical energy is also a vital role in the braking system.

In this article, you will see what type of brake pad works for your car
When do you change your brake pads?

How can you know when it is time to change your brake pads? Well, it is often difficult to give a general or blanket statement on the length of time a brake pad will last, as it often varies from vehicle to vehicle.

Also, the frequency of use and the average distance of that car will also play roles in determining the longevity of the brake pad.

For instance, if you are the type to travel over a long distance weekly, your brake pad’s life span may likely be shorter than the average driver that goes to work over a short distance daily.
How to know if your brake pad is faulty

You may be wondering what signs to look out for in a faulty brake pad. We need to let you know at this point that, it doesn’t matter the distance covered by your car, whether long or short.

As long as you have been using the same vehicle over a long period of time, your brake pads will inevitably need to be changed.

This is because, every time you apply your brakes, you inevitably chop off bits of the brake pad. The bit-by-bit chop off occurs as a result of the friction between the brake pad and the rotating disc when attempting to slow down or stop the car.

We know ... we know you want to know those signs to look out for when your brake pad is faulty. Some of those signs, as briefly stated, are:

- You begin to hear squealing or screeching noises.
- The brake warning light on our dashboard begins to blink.
- When visual inspection of the brake pad reveals less than a quarter-inch of the brake pad.
- When you hear metallic grinding and growling coming from the brake pad area.

This video will teach you how to check how far gone your pads are. Check it out!

4 Type of brake pads

We did promise to give you the types of brake pads we have:
1. Semi-metallic brakes

This type of brake is one that consists mostly of metals with a combination of steel wool, copper, wires, etc.

The interesting thing about this kind of brake is that they are largely heat resistant and tend to be more gentle on the rotors.

They perform well in low-temperature r cold weather conditions.

These kinds of brakes are best used in sports cars.
https://file.naijauto.com/2020/03/05/u0GUC7wC/semi-metallic-brakes-8826.jpg
Sports cars often go with semi-metallic brakes
2. Non-Asbestos organic brakes

This type of brake is made up of fiber, cellulose materials, rubber, Kevlar and other organic materials.

Like the semi-metallic brake pads, the non-asbestos is also subtle but it wears out faster than all the others, despite its huge cost.
https://file.naijauto.com/2020/03/05/u0GUC7wC/non-asbestos-organic-brakes-1af7.jpg
Non-asbestos organic brakes are considered to be at high costs
3. Low metallic NAO brakes

A product of the combination of copper and steel and other organic materials, the Low metallic NAO possess great braking and heat transfer capabilities, but produce a lot of noise and bring up brake dust.

This is all the more reason why they are best suited to medium-sized cars like coupes, sedans, station wagons, etc.

https://file.naijauto.com/2020/03/05/u0GUC7wC/low-metallic-nao-brakes-7ed2.jpg
Its drawback is the noise it produces
4. Ceramic brakes

Arguably the most popular choice of all the brakes, the Ceramic brakes are made from ceramic materials which give the unique advantage of being the quietest and cleanest of the lot.

They can absorb heat and perform well under the harshest conditions and have excellent braking capability.

They are also very expensive.

If you have a high performance vehicle like a sports car, then this brake’s features are best utilized in your car.
