Jail able

Eko koni baaje

I hope them get plenty cells/prisons, cos danfo drivers go need am

The prison yard will not be able to accommodate the offenders cos 30 percent of Lagos road users are guilty of one or more of the above listed offences. Remind me later after 3 months

Who tell u say dey go jail u when theirs corruption,just give then 500 naira and they will free u if u commit any of this offence

Driving with bottle of beer in your hand should be included I think, cos of the yahoo boys and the so-called big boys on the street of Lagos.

How does this make sense? The punishment must fit the crime. Apart from a DUI or Reckless driving, it does not make any sense to jail people for traffic offences. The government forgets that anyone can fall victim to a traffic offence. These are people with jobs. What happens when you don't show up to work? you get fired. I had a parking ticket yesterday. I paid the 50 bucks fine today. Case closed. The city get's richer. Nigerians think with their assess

Lagos wahala too much ibag although na 4 our good sha #Godbless Nigeria

Ok

web2X:
Lagos for show. What about indiscriminate picking of passengers on the road by commercial vehicles? the yellow buses

Thank-you o! or parking in a roundabout, trailers plying the fast lane talk less of breaking down an the fast lane, instead it's license and crash helmet there are worried about....imbeciles! You see things like these and you realise we are not heading to development anytime soon.

Center od excellence my arse more like centre of mediocrity

Sunnypar:
Second to the last may not work because most Okada operators don't even have crash helmet let alone for their passengers.

The okadas that are caught will bear the brunt for the others.

Did I just see crash element? Pls. its crash helmet.



Thank me later.

Pls we need mobile prison too.

lagos is a mega city

Crash HELMET not ELEMENT....

Avenues for police to feast on

Thank you for making this point.

I really think the mobile court thing is nonsense.

The Lagos state govt does not issue Drivers licence neither do they issue plate numbers yet they want to prosecute people.

This is pure exploitation.

I agree with you, however you need to understand that Nigerians need tougher punishments to get things registered in their way of doing things. Some pple can be so lawless and rude while driving. As Nigerians we need more stringent rules to get policies implemented. As soon as they are used to the new system, then perhaps the punishments would be reduced to demerit points and tickets.But for now they will sit up. No one wants to be jailed.

They should build more prisons then because all those danfo drivers and OK Ada riders and some other drivers are going in if they truly make good the law.

initial gragra
