FRSC Deploys Personnel For Enforcement Of Traffic Laws @ Valentine

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC Mallam Shehu Mohammed has ordered massive deployment of officers and Men for enhanced visibility, adequate traffic control and maximum enforcement of traffic laws during the valentine celebrations.

Speaking in Abuja on this year’s valentine celebrations, the Corps Marshal warned celebrants and other road users to desist from indulging in drunk driving, excessive speed and resist the temptation to drive recklessly to mitigate incidences of road accidents during the celebration.

Mallam Shehu Mohammed also directed the operatives deployed to go all out with breathalysers, and radar guns to ensure that suspected drunk drivers are tested and stopped from continuing their trips to avoid unnecessary deaths, injuries and damage to properties.

According to the FRSC Boss, Valentine celebration is a day set aside all over the world to celebrate love, exchange gifts and care for one another as such, motorists who wish to celebrate must be exemplary by complying with all road traffic regulations as the Corps will not spare any driver caught violating established laws.

He urged motorists to leverage the 122 toll free line of the FRSC to call for emergency intervention in case of any accident, obstruction or when reckless driving is sighted, for appropriate actions.

While reminding all celebrants to celebrate with strict compliance to all safety guidelines, the Corps Marshal called on all road users to cooperate with FRSC operatives deployed to ensure the safety of lives and properties as their presence on the road is for the good of all.

He further implored Parents and Guardians to admonish their Wards to be of good conduct while celebrating as records show that youths are more vulnerable during this season.
