gbadexy:
To a large extent, these rules are enforced except for the 9th one.
I've only seen a trailer with latched container once and it wasn't on the road.

AntiWailer:
The last one is 1k for all offences.

Paid to police.



That is why I tell people, if police catch u and u can not call an of ur friends in the force, no follow them to any where oooo


No dey form right cos by the time they bring out ur official fine, u will calm down but it will already be too late.

SmartMugu:
Wow. Not even a single state in the US has that type of law. Is that supposed to reduce global warming or something? Because I know smoking cigarettes doesn't cause any impairments while driving.

Here to learn

SmartMugu:
Smoking while driving: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders.

How is this a crime? Did you mean drinking while driving? Why can't a smoker smoke cigarettes in his or her own car if he or she desires? Weird. Never heard of that type of law before.

kuntash:
"to a traffic officer"

what about physical assault to the driver by the traffic officer?

apparently thats what seem to be in vogue

SmartMugu:
Wow. Eating while driving is also an offence? How are we expected to eat the snacks sold on the roads in the crazy traffic with two hands on the steering wheel? Just swallow?
Who and who made these types of laws?

Ignorance of the law, they say is not an excuse. In order not to find yourself in a fix with the law enforcement officers, kindly read through the listed traffic offences in Lagos and their penalties:

1)Driving without valid driver's license: Your vehicle will be impounded. For the vehicle to be released, you have to present evidence that you have paid for a new license. You also have to pay for the vehicle's storage at the agency's facility..

2)Driving of any vehicle by persons under 18 years old: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. The vehicle will be impounded and a vehicle storage fee will be paid be its release.

3)Learner driver without permit: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. You must present evidence of payment for learner's permit and storage fee must be paid before the impounded vehicle is released.

4)Driving an unlicensed vehicle: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. You may also be imprisoned for 3 years.

5)Physical assault to a traffic officer: N50,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment.

6)Driving a right hand vehicle: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders. The vehicle must be converted to a left hand drive immediately.

7)Driving without valid vehicle documents: The vehicle will be impounded. It will only be released after you present evidence of payment for the outstanding vehicle document(s) e.g vehicle license, road worthiness etc.

Smoking while driving: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders.

9)Driving a trailer or other vehicle carrying unlatched and unsecured containers: The fine is N250,000 and the vehicle will be impounded.

10)Excessive smoke emission: N20,000 for first time offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offenders.

It will be a big relief to several Lagosians if some of these policies and penalties are implemented to the fullest especially the unlatched containers and the excessive smoke emission.

GenZod:
you'll be banned if u keep spamming topics with campaign photos

It is an offence to buy snacks bought on the roads in traffic. It is punishable by paying a fine of N90,000 or 3 months in prison.

SmartMugu:
To buy snacks on the road is also an offence? Who are the sellers supposed to sell to? Themselves? I think these law makers are losing it.

valarinz:
You omitted the most popular ones they use to trap unsuspecting or newcomers in lagos:
