The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised motorists to exercise patience and drive with caution on the highway to stem road crashes during the Yuletide.<\/p>\n
Mr Siikiru Alonge, the\u00a0Ore\u00a0Unit Commander\u00a0of FRSC,\u00a0Ondo State,\u00a0gave the advice\u00a0in an interview\u00a0with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ore.<\/p>\n
Alonge noted that there was always high vehicular movement during festivities which makes most drivers,\u00a0especially commercial drivers,\u00a0want to go\u00a0to\u00a0many trips to make more money.<\/p>\n
He said that the zeal to go to many trips as possible makes most drivers to\u00a0drive recklessly and carelessly on the\u00a0highway\u00a0which\u00a0often\u00a0resulted\u00a0in crashes that could be avoided.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are approaching the\u00a0Yuletide period when we experience high vehicular movement on the highway. Most drivers throw caution onto the wind because they want to go to many trips as possible in order to get more money\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMotorists and other road users should always exercise patience in order to reduce their speed on the highway to avoid crashes which can be avoided,\u201d Alonge said.<\/p>\n
The FRSC boss, however, urged drivers to always obey traffic rules and regulations on the highway.<\/p>\n
He warned\u00a0that any driver\u00a0that\u00a0contravened traffic rules\u00a0would be arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n
