Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Edo State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has advised motorists to ignore passengers who often instigate them to overspeed with the excuse of being in haste.<\/p>\n

The FRSC State Sector Commander, Paul Okpe, said that such passengers also contribute to road crashes and should be ignored.<\/p>\n

Okpe gave the advice during a road show as part of activities to sensitise road users to the need to be safety-conscious on the road.<\/p>\n

The sector commander urged motorists and other road users to obey traffic rules and regulations to stay alive during the Easter celebration.<\/p>\n

While noting that the sensitisation was necessary due to the attitude of drivers in the state, he added that one has to be alive to celebrate.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore embarking on any journey during this period, check your vehicle to ascertain whether your brake, light, fire extinguisher, and tyre, among others, are in good condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile on the road, you have to obey traffic rules by wearing a seatbelt, avoiding overloading and speeding, dangerous driving and route violations, among others. You can celebrate with your family while alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urged motorists to drive at minimal speed and respect other road users, as it is those that are alive that will celebrate the season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the corps would deploy men and officers across the state to ensure a hitch-free celebration.<\/p>\n

He appealed to other stakeholders to support FRSC in curtailing road crashes, especially during the festive periods so that travellers will arrive at their destinations safely.<\/p>\n
