🤣 Look at this thread! Look at how hard the propagandist bots are trying, yet they are unable to achieve anything.

Here is entertainment! 🤣

I won't stop, what will you do about it?

All you can do is to continue to try and entertain me and elongate my threads.

Of course prince of lies and ad hominem. You didn't bother to address any of the issues raised but switched to your cunning and deceit.

Your next line of action is to block this account from your future posts so that we won't see your lies and fake stories.l and call you out in public

Do you have any semblance of real life outside here?

Boss, I didn't want to derail the thread that's why I initially ignored the mentioning.

My comments you are referring to, I made use of the word hand speed meter not mounted camera.

Also, that was even outskirts of major Accra town as we were traveling to Aflao, Togo. Like 6 hours journey

Is the bot still wasting its time? I don't engage bots, I block them.

Read the thread carefully, what you are referring to is called radar gun. It's the second item that I discussed.

Radar gun but your thread is about mounted camera.

I didn't know the name as radar gun that's why I used hand speed meter. I didn't talk about mounted camera in that my comments

Also, I never experienced such in Nigeria before going to Ghana, if it had existed in Nigeria roads, I would have come across it. So to me, they started it before us. What's the purpose of having something we are not using

Calm down and read every post on the first page. Everything that you are talking about has been explained there.

We get it before is not a property. You can see from this thread that reasonable Nigerians have not experienced radar gun, mounted camera or lBreathalyzer

Things that majority of people are not aware of is more like we never have them before

Ah! Ah!

What's the argument about?

I created a thread about someone that got fined by the Lagos speed camera. You came to the thread and said Lagos is just catching up, that Ghana had it ten years ago when you went there. You then described a radar gun.

I simply showed that Nigeria has been using radar guns since the 1990s and is still using them.

What's the argument again?

2) Radar guns:

After creation in 1988, the FRSC imposed a speed limit of 100 kmph on Nigerian highways. FRSC officials began using radar guns to detect if a vehicle was exceeding the speed limit. The radar gun emits radio waves and uses the doppler effect to calculate the speed of the vehicle. Here is a 2012 Nairaland thread about FRSC's use of radar guns.

FRSC Acquires Equipment To Check Over-Speeding

Sunofgod:
Eket (Akwa Ibom) – Mr Yakubu Attah, Zonal Commanding Officer of the FRSC Zone 6 Command of the commission said on Monday that the commission had acquired an equipment to check over-speeding by drivers.

Attah, an Assistant Corps Marshal in charge of Zone 6 in Port Harcourt, said in an interview in Eket that the commission was also poised to check over-loading.

Attah disclosed that the commission recently took delivery of hand-held radar guns to monitor motorists who drove beyond speed limits.

”Over-speeding and over-loading are of serious concern to the FRSC.

”Recently, the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Mr Osita Chidoka, procured some hand-held radar guns to clamp down on over-speeding drivers.

“So over-speeding will soon be a thing of the past, all we need to do with the new drivers’ licence is to take your number and arrest you on the point of renewing your vehicle papers.

“So you may over-speed but you are not far from us, ” he said.

On the recommendation that the FRSC should be scrapped or merged with the police, Attah said that such calls would not be justified, in view of the strategic nature of the commission on safety of commuters on the nation’s roads.

“It is not justifiable because FRSC has come a long way, FRSC is a household name, above all, the FRSC is the lead agency in terms of road safety administration and management.

“It is not justifiable at all, I am of the view that the government should have a re-think, ” he said.

The Zonal Commanding Officer said that he was committed to boosting the morale of the commission’s officers and men as a way of improving their productivity.

He said that Chidoka appreciated the sacrifices being made by the commission’s officers in discharging their duties. (NAN)

Where does that even exist Where the road users would rather ignore them

Do Nigeria have functional traffic laws and signs or signals?
Jokers

Follow one way for lagos,nah that time u go know whether law dey or not.

Trolls want my attention, so some of them have come to this thread to say that there are no cameras, how come they are not everywhere, there are no traffic laws in Lagos, etc.

They really expect me to respond.

Anyone that lives in Lagos has seen the cameras before (they are everywhere), anyone that lives in Lagos knows what happens if you drive against traffic, there are countless threads and posts by members of the public about these things, so why do I need to respond to trolls?

Whao Nice One with good development indeed.

We will get there soon 🔜 by God's Grace.

Get your vehicle documents easily and driver's processed genuinely without stressing yourself much.

You can DM.

This is a good write up, I see it as exposing advance technology in road safety and at the same time the foolishness of Nigeria. There is NO EXCUSE FOR NIGERIA TO BE LATE in deploying these technologies but haven said that the truth is we are just deceiving ourselves because apart Lagos state that is truly using technology to fight road traffic offenses, the FRSC has failed. They are simply an employment pool that pays salaries.

Govt. institutions can do much more better in discharging their duties if the leaders get serious. For now its just DO AS YOU LIKE.

One other thing the authorities have to alert people is to look at the correct scale on speedometer of their cars. Many don't know that the calibration that's bolder is miles per hour for cars that are from north America which is a lot here. They should look at the kilometer per hour that's smaller. You see a ot of people moving at say speed of 80mph not knowing they are actually doing around 128km/h.

They should equally make the speed limits clearly visible so that people will know all that, and also same to signs that indicate direction.

even your so called traffic and security personnel normally violet those rules
bounch of disgusting pple

Nigerians people ears are made up of Bones.
If you like out angel for traffic make the angel carry sword and fire 🔥 them go still cross the red line.

It seems LASTMA is even ahead of FRSC in terms of adoption of technology for traffic regulation. By the way, it still amazes me how there is no centralized regulator for road transport which accounts for 99% of our transport sector. There is a need for a regulator who would ensure that policies are followed across the entire road value chain. In construction, are the traffic standards been followed are appropriate road furniture deployed? Where trailer tanks are fabricated, do they adhere to the standard by ASME? Are motor parks properly located? Are the drivers vetted regularly and their vehicles checked?
I think the FG needs to upgrade the FRSC mandate to cover these and more.

This is why I always use Google map. I believe the speed shown on my phone than the one on the speedometer/dashboard
