Great idea... it's very doable.

It is no longer an idea, drivers have been receiving sms on their phone for traffic violations and are required to go to the appropriate traffic regulatory agency to pay or appeal. I think the automatic debit thing is yet to be rolled out.

asuustrike1:

Direct debit act as a deterrent measure to curb the aforementioned menace

But could be abused. The LSG becomes the accuser, the judge and prosecutor all in one.

Good idea but this can't work here becos we don't have a standard data base that can back it up.

If person girlfriend wan punish am for cheating
No to carry bf car begin break traffic rules

What about the drivers who don't have bank account let alone BVN?
The idea is noble though

If you dont have a bvn then you have no business driving on Lagos road, you better get a driver that has bvn.

The only problem to dis great idea is the corruption of our minds as a nation.

Corrupt officials will jeopardise the ideas
Maintenance culture will jeopardise the cameras
Na my person dey there will jeopardise the registration process
And some little few will jeopardize the earnings.

The problem is the people not the system

Hmmm...the problem is the people not the system indeed. Nothing is absolutely wrong with Nigeria as a country but with the populace as a people. The answer we all seek lies within us.

That is true however our legal system is poor

The most sensible and cost effective solution, if we want to start the process of making Lagos a smart city, these are some of the logical and practical steps. Nations are now deploying technology to massively solve societal problems. By the time a driver turns a single lane to a double lane, by the time you beat the red stop light, and get an instant debit of N50,000, nobody will tell you not to obey traffic laws. Trust the yellow bus drivers to start covering their bus plate numbers. Let us see what Sanwo-olu does!

listen to what he said, the vehicle owners account not necessarily the driver, if you own a car and you have a driver, if your driver contravenes the law, the money would be deducted from your account not your driver account ��

You are 100% correct

Textbook idea

What if there's no money in the bank account of the driver that broke traffic law?

The idea of government collecting fines directly from bank accounts is a huge NO! NO! It is draconian and subject to abuse. Do it the American way. Hunt down offending vehicles and impound them until owner pays.

And how does a state running an N800 billion budget spend N200 billion on CCTV? Come on, give us a break, biko!

Easy To Say

no body go gree open account again

but that is a very smart idea

if the idea could be improved and put to work I am sure to a large extent traffic in lagos will be controlled.

Poor!!!
Punishment and focus enforcement focuse, this doesn't solve the traffic problem in anyway, seems Alibaba has a blank idea of what causes traffic in Lagos.

Funny enough that what is obtain in other developed countries

Dubai has the same policy and it's working perfectly

But in nigeria a country without centralized data it's so impossible

I'm yet to see that state in nigeria that will do data capturing of all its citizens for better improvement of lives. They won't do it

The rigging of election will stop

Those in govt profiting in ghost workers will not let it work and other factors

That has been the bane of our under development in nigeria

The FG need to open other seaports period

How much do you sell 2 Gig mtn

This is no idea at all.

I disagree with this. To me the solution is to adopt a correctional strategy instead of money making strategy.

Ticketing of 500 or 1000 should be given to traffic offenders depending on the weight of the offence. If a traffic offenders is found to have committed a traffic offence more than twice within a month, the license of such person will seized and returned after 6 months. Driving without license will be imprisonment.

The reason the traffic problem is persistent is because traffic offence is moneytized. Minimum fine is 30k, an offender will rather settle the traffic officer or get strengthen his connection than to pay that huge fine.

Lagos State government thought that by impose ng heavy fine on traffic offenders, it will make them take caution but they have forgotten that the teeming population are trying to survive everyday and won't want to miss target. In as much as Lagos State government is benefitting from the high population of people in Lagos, they should expect disobedience.

Final solution is to start concentrating on building inter city train, doing this will make many car owners to drop their car at home.

Danfo owners or drivers dont have bank account not to talk of BVN, even the very few that may likely have an account will not be operating the account better still, they will always find a way to beat any traffic light and scale through.

brilliant

not really given these traffick problems much thoughts..but Alibaba's idea has some merits just that my problem is..some thieves snatch my car beat 10 stop signs making their getaway..wham! i receive #450k debit alerts!..if you ask me,na who i go ask?

dapyd1:
That would work until, like every other thing our goverment initiates,it is misused.

It will be seen as a revenue collection drive and the number of people who will lining up for review of CCTV for wrong infractions will be mind boggling.

That is if the CCTV lasts beyond 2 months. Either for lack of maintenance or by stealing.

Nevertheless, good idea, coz something has to be done to tame the madness we exhibit on the street, as it seems the educated people in cars are more mentally unstable than the illiterates on the streets that they always criticize.

Why don't we try the social credits system as used in the People's Republic of China.

U didn't understand him. He said that the registration of the vehicle will be linked to the BVN of the owner. This means that the owner will be culpable if his driver misbehaves.
