FRSC Cautions Against Night Travel and Drunk Driving During Ember Months
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun State Command, has urged motorists to reduce their speed during the ember months to help prevent avoidable road accidents.
Nasir Mohammed, the FRSC Commander overseeing the Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, gave the advice during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ota.
Mohammed acknowledged that while speeding may feel thrilling, it remains one of the deadliest contributors to road crashes—claiming lives faster than many severe diseases. He emphasized the importance of adhering to speed limits and obeying road signs to avoid tragic incidents.
“We strongly advise motorists to avoid night travel, reckless driving, and dangerous overtaking, especially during this period,” he said.
The commander also warned against drunk driving, noting that it impairs judgment and increases the risk of accidents.
He reiterated the FRSC’s commitment to intensified public awareness campaigns and regular patrols to educate road users on the importance of obeying traffic rules and ensuring safety on the roads.
