Date: 2024-05-22

According to a news report from News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Command in Kwara has issued a warning to truck drivers in the state to cease parking their vehicles by the roadside.

The Sector Commander, Stephen Dawulung, delivered this warning on Tuesday in Ilorin during a routine patrol of various routes in the city.

Dawulung emphasised that parking trucks along the road could result in crashes with high fatalities and injuries.

”It is a bad and indecent practice, it can cause accidents that lead to high fatality and injuries.

“My visit is to discourage the loading of goods and persons by truck drivers on the high ways.

”Trucks carrying passengers and goods have been identified as one of the causes of high fatalities when crashes occur,” he said.

He also advised motorists not to drive when they were tired and exhausted, saying,”take at least 30 minutes rest after every four hours”

”Drivers should take a minimum of 30 minutes rest after every four hours of driving to prevent fatigue and drowsiness.

”They need to stop over speeding and wrongful overtaking. It is wrong to carry goods, animals and passengers together,” he said.

The sector commander further said that the command would soon commence full enforcement of penalties on road traffic offenders,

“The motoring unions have pledged to support us in the campaign even as we prepare towards full enforcement,” he said.

He said that union officials and drivers had already been sensitised on the need to avoid night journeys.

”The sensitisation campaign will be on regularly basis, we shall do it as we also embark on enforcement,” he said.
