How Can We Compel Motorists To Obey Speed Limits In Nigeria by maasoap(op): 5:35pm On Mar 09, 2016
I was a victim of overspeed car in 2011, I was nearly killed. I was sleeping when it happened but other passengers in the car told me that our driver was already cruising above 130 km/h! We were saved by a very strong concrete electric pole which prevented our car from doing multiple somersaults, we did only one somersault and the pole broke into three pieces.
Overspeed is the major causes of road accidents in Nigeria, forget bad road. I believe that all motors should be forced to install speed breakers or whatever that will ensure no driver is able to exceed 120 km/h . What do you think?

Speeding limiting device is 40k,too expensive,unless the FRSC will install it for us free of charge. The best FRSC can do is media programs on tv,radio,social media and motor parks sensitising drivers.

All these can't help. May be proper sanctions like that of abroad only if bribe taking won't rubbish it.
