The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC has appealed to road users to avoid night driving, overloading and over speeding during the Yelutide.

The Sector Commander, Osun State Command, Mrs Kudirat Ibrahim made appeal in an interview with Radio Nigeria at her office in Osogbo.

Mrs Ibrahim observed that most of the road crashes recorded during the outgoing year in Osun State were consequences of over speeding over loading and night driving.

The FRSC Osun Sector Commander noted that despite the condition of the roads, accident was avoidable if only road users could be more patient, careful and considerate of the interest of others.

Mrs Ibrahim hinted that men of the corps had been deployed in strategic locations across Osun state, not to book motorists but to caution them against excessive speeding and provide prompt response in case of emergencies.

She stated that the corps had embarked on enlightenment campaigns which was taken beyond motor parks, to worship centers and other areas of convergence to educate people on the need for safety on the road.

Mrs Ibrahim appealed to passengers, particularly traders to avoid putting pressure on drivers to overload their luggage, a development she noted had resulted in many accidents.
