FRSC plans radar guns as 300 killed in 2021 Ogun crashes - Punch NewspapersThe most widely read newspaper in Nigeria The issue is this FRSCNigeria ogun state chapter needs to work seriously on drivers license. Most especially, the motorcycles (okada) Tricycles (maruwa) and public transports ( taxi). Speed limits is too much. Most especially on newly constructed roads/highways They will embezzle the funds meant for it When your radar gun detects high speed are you going to chase them on the useless roads we have? You can't ticket them thereafter because you don't have a database Good luck to those who planned this heist Get ambulances and train ur men on first aid. Ogun state roads are very bad, I wonder if truly vehicles can 'over speed' on these roads.
