The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Command, has urged motorists to curb excessive speeding during the ember months to reduce avoidable road crashes.
Mr. Nasir Mohammed, FRSC Commander in charge of the Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, gave the advice in an interview with Starreporters on Monday in Ota.
Mohammed described speeding as “sweet but deadlier than any disease,” stressing that motorists must obey road signs and maintain average speed limits to ensure safer roads.
“We urge motorists to obey road signs and adhere to average speed limits to prevent avoidable crashes during the ember months. We also strongly advise against night travel, reckless driving, and wrongful overtaking,” he said.
The commander further warned against drunk driving, noting that it impairs judgment and often results in fatal accidents.
He added that the FRSC would intensify public enlightenment and patrols across the state to sensitize motorists on the dangers of traffic violations.
