No wonder my uncle no allow me drive yesterday. lol

Sounds a bit draconian but it may be what Lagos needs as there are too many lawless folks in that city.

Not bad

Thank God at last. I hope they can impliment it to the letter.

This is exactly what Nigerians deserve, short of military-rule type of punishments.

Mostly makes sense, minus the "smoking while driving part. That makes no sense at all.

Please what of motorcycle is prohibited on the highway? Commercial motorcycles or superbikes otherwise known as power bike. Clarifications required

What about the pedestrians? Any law 4 them?
