Good morning.
Driving alongside a truck can be very dangerous
If you have to pass a truck, do it as fast as possible.
The longer you stay beside the truck, the more likely you are to experience problems.
The attention of the Corps has been adequately drawn to a video currently dominating the social media sphere about a motorist who had an encounter with FRSC Personnel in the course of carrying out the ongoing enforcement of Presidential/National directive on ' Stay At Home'.
Drivers are only guaranteed a safe journey if only they carry out safe practices on the road.
Happy new week everyone and FRSC wishes you a crash free week
After a careful study and analysis of the video and what transpired in it, the Corps wishes to inform the public that the following proactive measures have been taken;

It is the little thing that makes a big difference
Your driving style is a reflection of your attitude & your personality
Adopt the right attitude to help create a safer motoring environment
Happy new month to everyone.

before embarking on the journey, not while the vehicle is already in motion as this could be dangerous to the driver and other road users, and can lead to road traffic crash.
We say this because, available records have shown that use of phone for whatever purpose;
We therefore call on all motorists who intend to deploy the use of google map on their phone especially during the festive season when traffic density is high, to activate such before setting the vehicle in motion so as to ensure 100 percent concentration on the wheels.
be it text, voice calls, chats, browsing, setting google map to find location etc while driving could be distractive and can easily lead to loss of concentration. This has led to many road traffic crashes with attendant loss of lives and properties.
the Federal Road Safety Corps as a technology driven organisation is not and has never stood against the use of google map by motorists.
To state the obvious, we have always enlightened the public on the position of the law on use of phone while driving
Ho everyone. Let's all engage in safe practices on the highway this week.
Motorists - Consider other road users
Pedestrians - Don't put your lives at risk. Make use of pedestrian bridges.

personnel will be on the road to ensure safety.

Good morning everyone.
Why do you think traffic, worldwide is always worse on Mondays when everyone is going to the same place they go to on Tuesday to Friday?
which the Sector Commander tried to emphasize during the flag off.
The statement he made during the flag off buttresses the position of the Corps, which is that any driver who intends to deploy the use of Google map while driving must have it set on the phone
Hi Road Users (pedestrian, motorists, cyclists, etc.)
We all have the right to make use of the road
The choices we make, the decisions we take, while on the road are very crucial to our safety
Remember, the right to choose does not always mean the choice is right

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of road traffic crashes in the world, it goes beyond texting. Anything that distracts the eyes, hands/mind while driving, is a distraction
Talking over the phone is not the same as having a conversation with a passenger in the car

The Corps wishes to state that the Sector Commander must have been misquoted and his statement outrightly misrepresented because
Hello Road Users
Preparation & planning are relatively important to how we conduct ourselves on the road.
Poor decisions while on the road do not always yield a positive outcome but mostly, leaves you in situations where all your options are potentially bad.
Be safe

On the strength of this, the Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to reiterate its position on use of phone while driving as a dangerous and hazardous road traffic behaviour which has led to unwanted and avoidable road crashes.
Becoming a better driver tip.
Don’t bother speeding!
All it does is increase your risk of getting into a crash.
You’re better off just driving at or below the recommended speeds.
Rush hour doesn't mean reckless driving
Good morning everyone. On behalf of the Corps, I want to wish you a crash free week.
Remember! Always drive with care for other road users.
