Valentine Day: FRSC Warns Motorists Against Excessive Speed, Drunk Driving

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned motorists and other road users to desist from indulging in drunk driving, excessive speed, and reckless driving while celebrating the 2021 Valentine Day

The Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Bisi Kazeem, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

 Kazeem said that this was owing to the need to ensure a safe and crash free celebration during the period, saying that it was also a way to mitigate all incidences of road traffic crashes during the time. 

 He said that the Corps Marshal, FRSC, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, had directed Commanding Officers across board to double their efforts by ensuring massive deployment of Officers and Men. 

 This, he said, was for enhanced visibility, adequate traffic control, and maximum enforcement of all COVID-19 protocols amongst motorists.

 According to Kazeem, all patrol operatives have been directed to go along with breathalysers, and radar guns. 

 “This is to ensure that suspected drunk drivers are tested and stopped from continuing their trips so as to avoid unnecessary deaths, injuries and damage to properties, ” he said.
