Yep Yep Yep

And you'll need a LASDRI

Full bottle of pepper spray.
Her name is Emily.
I know she doesn't look like much.
But she is my baby.
Just close your eyes, spray the car.
Match brake and get the hell out.

Before Ambode sent them to oblivion , I have done LASDRI twice and I have never driven for a company, or a commercial vehicle. LASDRI started in 2015

Anyways, if you doubt, you could drive into their office at Oshodi to confirm whenever you're around.

I know wetin i dey talk

How can LASDRI start 2015 when I did my first ever march 2014?.
LASDRI is basically meant for commercial /car hire drivers, motor cycles riders, company/corporate drivers etc.

Maybe I was wrong. It started in 2014. No vex

And I said its for professional drivers.

E hailing is no longer profitable. Simple reason, reduced turnover but same or increasing operating cost.

The earlier we accept this the better.



Drivers aren't making profit, car owners aren't making profit, Uber isn't making profit.

Price reduction will kill any business on the long run. To add insult to injury, Nigerians rushed into the business.

Honestly, where do we go from here? We need to have a honest conversation.

Drivers
Partners
E hailing companies
Government ( if possible )

All parties involved must have a honest conversation, if not, I don't see much hope for the future.

No vex abeg.
Define professional driver.

izzou:
As long as you are not driving your personal car, you are considered a driver. All they need to check is the name on the drivers license and the name on the vehicle particulars.

When I was caught, I paid a fine of 20,000 to Fidelity Bank. This was years back. That's my experience

After then, I did my first one at Oshodi(Next compound to LASTMA office). I paid 2k at the Ecobank opposite LASTMA.They even asked for tax receipt(i can't remember how I dodged that) . And I spent about 6 hours to get it. They will take you through some stupid talks about how to behave as a driver, road sign talks and all that just to justify the loot they are collecting. As at the last time I did it, it was 3k. I paid to one fat lady at the door and got my LASDRI in paper(no longer plastic)

Why I type all these is because I was once caught, and I have done it twice. I'm typing from my experience. I haven't come here to argue

Maybe I was hustled or not, but what I know is the Officer who stopped me told me that as long as the name on the vehicle particulars is not the same with the drivers license, you are considered a driver

And we both know 80% of uber cars fall into this category

Like a typical Nigerian politician u didn't answer the question..lolz

Thank God you said it by yourself that u were hustled.so I cant borrow my friend's car and travel to Lagos anymore? You panicked and they made money out of you.
You already have a drivers license issued by the federal republic of Nigeria,the highest authority,behind it it is clearly stated that you are licensed to drive a car other than a motorcycle or articulated vehicle.

I wont say more than that

Stop acting all defensive like I'm forcing you to buy my opinion. I only stated my experience. I didn't ask you to run immediately to do it

And if the bolded is your line of defense, then please, don't say anything more abeg

101% of people caught have their drivers license with them. LASDRI is a law by the Lagos State government. Your "Federal government" should have abolished it when they formed it naa

shollywendy1:

izzou:
LASDRI is for drivers, and not vehicles. I don't understand what you mean by the bolded

LASDRI is for professional drivers. That's the purpose. And according to them, you'll be regarded a driver as long as you don't own the car(If the name on your drivers license is different from the name on the vehicle particulars)lol,if lasdri is dead, why is their office at Oshodi still operational? Why ask me to go there? They're are open everyday of The week. I mentioned my truck because it's a commercial vehicle with red plate no. Well it's no big deal getting one. It's a stipend of #3000k.

Maybe I was hustled, and maybe you're right. But like I suggested, go to their office and make enquiries.

And besides, LASDRI died in 2017 after Ambode kicked them out of the road. I don't understand what you mean by "issued in the past three years"

Yes, unfortunately. Not logical, but this is Lagos, Nigeria.

nitigriti:
Many LASTMA officials will be happy to hear that.
"Excuse me sir, this thing you are saying about Federal laws and State laws, please come and go and tell our Oga in the office".

I told someone my experience, and he is saying Federal law and all that.

Didn't he think I must have said that? Didn't he think that the hundreds coming to do this LASDRI must have said that and probably know that?

Amongst all traffic agencies, the VIO are the most organised, and they hardly, I mean hardly listen to the option of a bribe. I don't know if they reward them handsomely for catching an offender
