FRSC Warns Motorists That Late Payment Of Fines Attracts Legal Action,
The Federal Road Safety Corps has advised traffic offenders and the motoring public against late payments of penalties, or face strict legal actions.
A statement issued from the office of the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos State, Corps Commander Babatunde Farinloye, intimated the motoring public on the new administration on traffic offences and fines.
He warned that any fine not paid within seven days will attract litigations in accordance with the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR) 2012.
Farinloye 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.
The Lagos State FRSC Sector Commander advised the motoring public to be law abiding, expressing optimism that the new administration on traffic offences and fines, will further strengthen the Corps’ drive towards eradicating Road Traffic Crashes on the Highway as well as banish lawless and reckless driving for the safety of all.
