If you own and drive a car in Lagos, be careful not to be caught violating traffic laws for your own good.
Under the Lagos Traffic Law which will be strictly enforced from Monday
by the Traffic Courts, violators of some of the offences can be jailed
for some number of months.
Below are the 7 offences that offenders can either be fined, imprisoned or both…
*Driving an unlicensed vehicle
*Driving with a fake number plate
*Driving a vehicle with an unauthorized or defective number plate
*Driving with a forged driver’s licence
*Neglect of traffic directions
*Driving motorcycle without approved crash element by driver and passenger
*Operating vehicle within restricted routes or beyond official hours
To achieve this new drive, the state government has already inaugurated
five Mobile Court buses for road traffic offenders, with a pledge to end
impunity on the roads.
