The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Bauchi
Command, on Friday launched its 2017 end-of-year `Operation Zero Tolerance for
Road Accident’.
The theme of the exercise is
`Right to Life on Highways Not Negotiable’.
The exercise was launched
with lectures for motorists, to ensure that all road regulations were obeyed,
especially during the festive season.
The Head of Operations of the
command, Mr Paul Guar, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi that
officers had been deployed within the state to ensure the safety of passengers.
Guar said that the FRSC would
not tolerate any recklessness on the roads and therefore, warned motorists to
maintain speed limit, noting that speed is the cause of most accidents.
“Drivers should be careful
with their speed limit because if one is driving at 100 kms per hour, the
tendency of an accident occurring is minimal.
“Even if there will be an
accident, it will not be fatal or very serious because the driver can control
the car at that speed.’’
He advised drivers to attend
approved driving schools in order to obtain genuine driving licence.
The FRSC boss commended the
management of Yankari Transport Corporation for procuring speed limiter device
for their vehicles.
