Road crashes: Every infraction shall be met with necessary sanction-Ogungbemide

 

The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, has once again cautioned Nigerians against over speeding and reckless driving as the country prepare for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

It is four days to Christmas, and the feeling is in the air. The roads are busier.

As the Christmas rush begins, the need to stay safe is paramount. This is why the Federal Road Safety Commission has deployed 36,224 personnel and 1226 patrol logistics to facilitate Vehicular movement nationwide.

The special patrol operation is named ‘Operation Zero’ Tolerance to road traffic crashes.

Speaking on road safety during the yuletide and the special patrol operation code named ‘Operation Zero’ on TVCBreakfast, the Lagos sector commander of the FRSC, Olusegun Ogungbemide said it is an operation that has actually become a tradition in Federal Safety Code as an intervention towards the end of year patrol activities, when there is an upsurge in low vehicular movements, people moving from one destination to the other.

Mr Ogungbemide said that is the focus of the command in addition to eradicating road traffic crashes and create a safe motoring environment for Nigeria.

“We have come to understand that you cannot out rightly stop crashes from happening, but let us place our own vision on ground that we should not be tolerant despite the fact that crashes must occur.

“We want to be able to work towards a situation where we have zero tolerance, meaning that we are not going to even allow it at all.

“Every infraction shall be met with necessary sanction so that we can have zero crash at the end of the day.

The Sector commander stated that despite the security situation in the country, people are still travelling.

He added that movements like this will be constant even till the beginning of next year.

Speaking about the template that the FRSC has put in place to address the issue of zero tolerance for road traffic crashes, he stated that some important corridors that are collision prone, heavy traffic prone, and have black spots and blind spots have been chosen.

“They have come to have this understanding that our presence on that corridor is quite important.

“We’ve also put a lot of things in place. During the sensitization program, we emphasized the need of not speeding, not overloading, and having good tires so that we may get at our destination safely.

“In Lagos, there are about 57 vehicles deployed, we have about six Ambulances at strategic places.

“Outside the Motorbike Quick Intervention Program that has been put in place since the beginning of this year, where the vehicles cannot get to when there are crashes.

“We have our motorbike ambulance that can be handled through the traffic and get it where we expect the larger rescue team and much more,” he added.
