Driving with the Aid of Google Map is a serious Traffic Offence – FRSC
Ayuba Gora, sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the federal capital territory (FCT), says driving with the aid of Google map is a serious traffic offence as the law forbids the use of mobile phones in any form while driving, saying it can lead to an accident.
Gora said this at the inauguration of the “2019 Ember Months Campaign” by Lugbe unit command of the FRSC in Abuja on Wednesday as he also informed motorists that the corps will soon begin enforcement of installation of speed limiting devices.
“We will embark on massive checks of vehicles without this device soon and arrest those that disconnected the devices from their vehicles,” he said.
“It is very important that all vehicles should have the device installed in their vehicles. The required speed limit for commercial vehicles even on the highways should not exceed 90 km/hr for buses and taxis.
“By doing this today, we are simply reminding motorists that they must drive with care and observe traffic rules and regulations in order to make the job very easy for all of us.
“If you are arrested this period, you will not just pay fines but must be taken for emotional evaluation test in the hospital to ascertain your mental fitness before we let go.”
He urged the public to dial 122 or 112 in case they notice unusual behaviour by road users and in the event of an accident.
