The Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun Command, has advised motorists to reduce speed during the ’ember months’ to stem unnecessary road crashes.
FRSC Commander in charge of Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, Nasir Mohammed, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Ota.
Mohammed noted that speed was sweet, but it kills faster than any deadly diseases, stressing the need for motorists to therefore refrain from excessive speed that could lead to disaster through crashes.
“We urge motorists to obey road signs and adhere to average speed limit to prevent avoidable crashes during the ember months.
”We also strongly advice against night travel, reckless driving and wrongful over taking,” he said.
The route commander emphasised the need for motorists to desist from drunk-driving as this could affect their sense of reasoning thus resulting to accident.
He reiterated the FRSC’s commitment to embark on aggressive public enlightenment and patrols to educate the public on the dangers of flouting traffic rules and regulations.
