FRSC Will Start Impounding Private Vehicles If They Fail To Instal The Speed Limit Device

The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, yesterday speaking to Vgrd Said enforcement actions have started in the country to begin impounding commercial vehicles that fails to instal the Speed Limiting Device also warning that these action will soon affect private vehicles. 

Commander, Assistant Corps Commander, ACC, Mr Emmanuel Edeh, said: “Those who have not installed the Speed Limiting Device should ensure that they do so. Speed has claimed a lot of lives. The lesser the speed, the lesser the impact in case of accident. A commercial vehicle is made not to exceed 90 kilometres per hour. That is the need of this Speed Limiting Device. We are starting with commercial vehicles''

“As at now, the enforcement is for  commercial vehicles. As time goes on it will get to private vehicles. That is why we carried out enforcement this morning and made some arrests. There is need for people to know that according to Corps Marshall and Chief Executive of FRSC, we have been mandated and directed to start full enforcement, which we started today. “

“Also Section 152 (4) of the NRTR, 2012, states that no vehicle will ply any public road without the installation of the Speed Limiting Device.  Section 10 (3M) of the FRSC Act 2007 empowers FRSC to regulate and enforce the Speed Limiting Device.”
