As Muslim faithfuls prepare to commemorate Tuesday’s Eid-el-Maluud, the Federal Road Safety Corps has called on motorists to avoid reckless driving and respect other road users.
This was revealed in a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, on Monday.
Kazeem disclosed that an accident-free holiday is possible if road users are discipline and comply traffic rules and regulations.
According to him, a disciplined driver saves lives.
“When pedestrians comply with the use of walkways and pedestrian bridges where provided, when drivers desist from taking intoxicating substances before mounting the wheels, when they observe and obey the traffic lights and all speed limits, when they regularly maintain their vehicles, avoid overloading, dangerous and reckless driving and become more tolerant with other road users; the carnages on our roads would have been reduced drastically”. He added.
He also admonished the motoring public to imbibe safe road use attributes as they commute across the country noting that the Corps will as usual ensure enhanced visibility of personnel around all corridors.
