The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, on Tuesday, cautioned motorists against overloading and dangerous driving, including driving at night.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the FRSC boss said this when he led a special patrol along the Zuba-Kaduna Expressway to ensure compliance with traffic rules and regulations.
Biu said respect for traffic rules and regulations would ensure safer highways and free flow of traffic, adding that the nationwide special operation was to check the excesses of motorists.
Biu said, “I want to appeal to haulage vehicles that carry goods and animals to be cautious; Please don’t carry goods with passengers this festive period.
Vehicles designed for goods only should be used, and those designed for passengers should also be used only for that purpose.
“We have witnessed fatal crashes involving trailers and trucks that carried animals and human beings or products and humans, and those crashes are usually fatal and severe.”
The corps marshal also directed officers and other stakeholders to watch out for such vehicles and apprehend them.
