The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Ogun Command, has advised motorists to reduce speed during the ’ember months’ to stem unnecessary road crashes.

FRSC Commander in charge of Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway, Nasir Mohammed, gave the advice in an interview with the newsmen in Ota.

Mohammed noted that as easy as speed was, it kills faster than any deadly diseases, stressing the need for motorists to refrain from excessive speed that could lead to disaster through crashes.

“We urge motorists to obey road signs and adhere to average speed limit to prevent avoidable crashes during the ember months.

”We also strongly advice against night travel, reckless driving and wrongful over taking,” he said.

The route commander emphasised the need for motorists to desist from drunk-driving as this could affect their sense of reasoning thus resulting to accident.

He reiterated the FRSC’s commitment to embark on an aggressive public enlightenment and patrols to educate the public on the dangers of flouting traffic rules and regulations.
