The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali Biu, has cautioned all road users, including campaign convoy drivers to as much as possible avoid speeding and recklessness on wheels.
He said they should drive in conformity with established road traffic regulations so as to avoid incidences of road traffic crashes.
The Corps Marshal gave the warning while reacting to the series of crashes that have occurred since the commencement of the electioneering campaigns involving political party convoys and other convoys which has led to preventable loss of lives.
Dauda Biu registered his dissatisfaction while stating that despite repeated warnings, cautions and appeals that the Corps had made to drivers, they still violated established laws, drive against speed limit and engage in reckless driving behaviours that were in total contradiction to best road use practice.
He however also appreciated the orderly manner with which some of the motorists conducted their political engagements in strict adherence to road traffic rules.
According to him, the Corps was determined to entrench ease of movement and safety for vehicular and human traffic as Commanding Officers have been directed to enhance visibility of patrol teams in identified strategic locations.
Part of the efforts the Corps has put in place include the deployment of more operational vehicles and manpower to combat envisioned gridlocks that would be occasioned by series of political activities geared towards the oncoming general elections.
