Yenagoa, Sept. 27, 2016 (NAN) The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Bayelsa Sector, says it has arrested 2, 310 drivers for the various traffic offences in the last six months.
Sector Commander Wobin Gora told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa that the drivers were contravened for offences such as worn-out tyres, failure to use sit belt and fake driver’s licence among others.
“From March to August, we have arrested and booked 2, 310 drivers for 2, 366 traffic rules and regulations.’’
The commander, however, expressed satisfaction that the rate at which drivers violated traffic rules and regulations in the state had reduced.
Gora added:“We are really clamping down on most of the drivers, some of who do not even have driver’s licence or use fake driver’s licence.
“We have been able to conduct three mobile courts within the six months, that is from March to August, and it was very impressive.”
He restated the commitment of FRSC to ensure that the roads were safe for motorists and commuters in the state.
“Drivers should promote safe driving by eschewing speeding, which is a major cause of crashes in the country.
“Before going out with your vehicle, make sure that everything is in order and support the campaign for the promotion of safer road across the country.
“Anyone who violates traffic offences will be arraigned in court and punished accordingly,” Gora said. (NAN)
