There is a new traffic law which prescribes a 3 year jail term for one way offenders and might soon be signed to law. Anyway check out the new laws by the Lagos State Governor below;
(1) Riding a motor – cycle against traffic: 1st time offender – N20,000
Subsequent offender -N30,000 fine
(2) Smoking while driving -N20,000 fine. Click to see the rest...
(3) Failure to give way to traffic on the left at a roundabout – N20,000 fine
(4) Disobeying traffic control – N20,000 fine
(5) Riding motor – cycle without crash helmet for rider and passenger N20,000 or 3yrs imprisonment .
(6) Driving without valid driver’s license – vehicle will be impounded.
(7) Driving with fake number plate – N20,000 and six months imprisonment or both
(8) Any person found guilty of driving on a one – way road will spend three years in prison, with no option of fine.
Well I think these laws are still bearable. But a 3 year jail term for one way offenders, is harsh to me. No No No, my Governor won’t do that. I trust him on this.
