I was once flagged down by these folks...after checking everything in the vehicle to be OK, they said the blue marking on my plate number was faded/illegible. They threatened to impound my car....they finally asked me to apply for a new number plate.

Firstly, is the road safety an income generating agency? I thought the idea was to make our roads safe- well, as usual misplacement of establishment priorities, they should change the name to road safety service and not commission if they want to continue along this trajectory - if they implement all theses fines, all the commercial vehicles, buses taxi's, Keke, and motor cycles would all be off the road

Ignorance, in Law, is not an excuse.

Any motorist that violates any of the road traffic laws is expected to pay the penalties.

On federal roads in Nigeria, there are specific amounts that are paid as fines for the different traffic offences.

These fines and penalties are administered by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).

The FRSC is the agency established with a mandate to reduce vehicular accidents on federal roads, educate motorists and pedestrians on traffic laws, clear any form of vehicular obstructions, etc.

The authority of the FRSC is restricted only to Federal roads and highways. That is, inter-state roads or federal government-built bridges or flyovers.

The FRSC has no statutory mandate, or authority, to operate or carry out its functions on State government constructed roads.

Now, here are 38 traffic offences and the fines issued to offenders.

Those fines are there to serve as deterrent measure to curb restlessness and carelessness of drivers. Yes part of government's revenue is fines; Federal Road Safety Commission is an agency of the government

BlackfireX:
If I use my leg to walk , will I be fined?

ProfClassic:
Please what's the specified fire extinguisher?

olajide8:
Then they should be on the express monitoring crazy drivers overtaking anyhow, they should be at vulcanizer shops and tyre sellers stop to seize bad tyres finally their name should be changed to *service* and not a *commission* (a commission is meant to serve the people, a service to generate income and regulate)
