LAGOS STATE RELEASES STRICT TRASFFIC LAWS AND PENALITES


This is a huge change for Nigerian motorist as the Governor of Lagos State Babatunde Raji Fashola has signed a new traffic bill into law. That is lobatan!!!!!
The law looks ridiculously interesting to me.Naija drivers are no doubt stubborn,but honestly i ope they adhere to the instructions others a whole lot of them will be doing jail term.
Nnna this is a serious matter


For example, any person found guilty of driving on a one-way road will get a free ticket to spend three years in prison, with no option of fine. Now that's friggin harsh!


Other penalties include:

(1) Riding a motor-cycle against traffic : 1st time offender – N20,000.00 subsequent offender N30,000.00.

(2) Smoking while driving – N20,000.00 fine.
