THE Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised motorists against late payments of penalties, or face strict legal actions.
The Sector Commander Lagos State, Corps Commander Babatunde Farinloye, disclosed this in a statement release to intimate the motoring public on the new administration on traffic offences and fines.
According to Farinloye, any fine that is not paid within seven days will attract litigations in accordance with the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR) 2012.
He further explained that delay in payments of traffic fines is a violation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“For the avoidance of doubts, article H of the Notice of Offence ticket clearly states that the ticket expires after 7 days from the date of issue. Thereafter, the traffic offenders will be PROSECUTED,” he said.
While advising the motoring public to be law abiding, the Lagos FRSC boss expressed optimism that the new administration on traffic offences and fines will further strengthen the Corps’ drive towards eradicating Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) on the highway, banish lawless and reckless driving for the safety of all.
Farinloye assures the public of the Corp’s commitment to effective service delivery, and ensuring a safe motoring environment.
