FRSC set to begin full enforcement of the installation of speed limiting device

 

   The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, says it is set to begin full enforcement of the installation of speed limiting device in commercial vehicles nationwide today.


   Spokesman of the corps, BisiKazeem, told newsmen yesterday in Abuja that sector and field commands of the agency had been fully mobilised for the exercise.

   Kazeem said that the army, police, civil defence, Department of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies were on standby to provide security support.

   Kazeem said defaulters would either pay a fine of N3,000 or have their vehicles impounded.

   According to reports, the enforcement of the SLD installation has been postponed three times since Sept. 1, 2015 following appeal by stakeholders.

  He explained that the decision to begin with commercial vehicles was informed by the high rate of their involvement in road accidents across the country.
