The Lagos State Sector Command, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it has commenced operation “Show Your Licence’’ across the state to arrest drivers without a valid licence.

The State Sector commander, Hyginus Omeje said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) in Lagos on Thursday.

“The state command, this week, inaugurated operation ‘Show your License’ campaign across the state to arrest motorists who had no valid driving license.

“We are doing this as part of our ember month programmes to sensitise drivers on the need to possess valid licences before driving,’’ he said.

Other highlights:

Omeje said that the state command recorded 57 road crashes in the third quarter of 2017, adding that the development showed a decrease of 46.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2016.
According to him, there are 55,802 unclaimed licences in the sector command due to the failure of many drivers to claim such documents.
Omeje noted that enforcement of speed limiters had brought a tremendous reduction in road accident across the state.
The sector commander, who said all commercial fleet operators must to install the speed limit device in their vehicles, noted that compliance level had reached 33.1 percent in the state.
According to him, another 192 motorists were cautioned while seven motorists were charged to court for allegedly failing to install speed limiter.
Omeje also said that there was a plan to equip all the patrol vehicles in the state with breathalyzers to detect motorists, especially the commercial ones driving under the influence of alcohol.

My Heart Does To Those Danfo Drivers N Etc.

^^^ Danfo drivers are usually exempted.
I have NEVER heard of a Danfo driver being charged to court for not possessing a licence.

Misplaced priority, they lack basic knowledge, there core job is not to check license, they are meant to prevent accident.

Stop vehicles that are heavily over loaded

Make sure drivers are using there seat belts

Arrest drivers who flout road rules

It might not be their core job, but it's assumed that any driver who went through driving lessons in an accredited centre _thus being eligible for a DL, wouldn't be found guilty of the points you mentioned.

They prevent accidents by listing centres where people can go learn. People choose learn in their village squares, jump into the road and endanger themselves/other road users.
Check job isn't a bad job after all.

So, can I see your driver's licence Sir?

Not having a DL is flouting a road rule sef.

you and I know that is not the case? We put more emphasis on certificate, license etc without having the proper attitude. How many of the driving schools teach the correct driving rules? How many times have you as an individual stopped at a zebra crossing? Even if you want to stop, you cannot because the moment you try to stop another stupid driver will ram you from the back. Why must we always have a total gridlock at a junction? It's because no it's meant to be first in first out, do we practice it? Is it the photocopy paper they gave me since march this year and my you want to see? Those guys are jokers

You learn driving etiquette (proper attitude) in driving schools
I can tell if someone went to a good driving school from the way they drive. I can also tell if they were taught by a panel beater in one school field.

1)If you go to accredited driving schools, your licence would be worth putting emphasis on.

2)It's not about how many teach correct driving rules, but do people attend them? They are listed on their site.

3)No Zebra crossing in my hood_but when I see one (mainly those done by schools), I stop after ensuring it's safe to stop. You don't go slamming your brakes at the sight of zebra crossings and expect not to rammed into.

4)Maybe traffic lights/controllers would help in the gridlock at junctions. In the absence of that, everyone would claim right of way and you wouldn't blame them. No one came to the road to do a census of cars.

There'll always be people who bypass laws, getting into the road to catch them isn't a bad idea. They have to take them off the road _so, sane people like me can be safe .

Oya na

The major causes of accident are unlicensed drivers, who dont know that using traffic pointer before change of lane is mandatory. Who dont know that overtaking on the hard shower could be disastrous. who dont know the rules neither would they adhere to any.That is their Job.

Hmmm

Okay

until they start arresting yellow buses


all of them will remain mad

I cant place it.
Frsc need to open up they eyez and do dia work.
Life on d road aint about

Who dey form boss.
And who dey lean back.
Ready to jump into an incoming vehicle
Not minding they own safety
They get terribly injured or even crushed to death.

Everything under buhari led regime
Remains in confusion Bleep

Do FRSC Officials have drivers license

When your caught just try to ask one of them...u will be amazed by their response

mtcheeeeeeeew

@ FRSC if my license has expired does it mean that I no longer know how to drive?

Or does my ability to drive expire with the license?

But wait o...
Many of this FRSC officials do not have drivers licenses. There should be a body to check them also cos they violate most of these driving laws.

do I need a licence to drive? I have been driving since 2006 and I don't have a driver licence cos the process is not right

Your very right its unconstitutional for them to arrest their job is to check and advice motorist on safety of cars on the road but the greed of typical nigerians has turn them to police.They is no where in the world where road safety department/corps harass and arrest motorist except in the most populated retrogressive black nation in the world called nigeria

What has driver's license got to do with safety of lives?
In Nigeria, you can get a valid driver's license without going to driving school.
They are all after revenue generation, they have a target and d year is gradually coming to an end.
Enforcement of this will bring forth revenue generation for the following:
Driving school
FRSC
VIO
Local govt
IRS
Insurance companies
Banks

Dey shld kuku ask drivers to sew uniform with their licences

This not for danfo drivers but for private car owners and company drivers

BarryX:
It would have be better if they can come out and tell us plainly that they are on a revenue drive.

Those FRSC guys are after their pockets

Exactly. How many yellow buses have they arrested?
Or the operation is a selective one.

MUMU TALK!

Since February up till date my licence is not yet ready...... Who do I blame? The same people enforcing a law to checkmate citizens while the can't profer solutions.

Nigeria is a joke.

More like 'revenue drive'....

These people are really sick...that's how them still never issue my license for over 7 months now with their stupid excuses, now them dey talk rubbish...license kor, temporary ni

When will they go to north
