FG bans use of sirens by unauthorised persons.
Road traffic rules does not exempt or accord any undue respect to positions, ranks and status of any select group of road users."
The Federal Government has banned the use of sirens by unauthorized persons on our roads.
This was announced by President Goodluck Jonathan at the launch of the new national drivers’ license and number plate.
The new licenses and number plates are being introduced by the Federal Road safety Corps, FRSC, in an effort to standardise the available data on road users in the country.
The President charged the road traffic regulatory agencies to apprehend and prosecute unauthorized users of siren on our roads.
Jonathan also ordered the immediate removal of all tankers and trailers recklessly and indiscriminately parked on the roads.
In addition to the obstruction of traffic that they create and the attendant loss of valuable man hours, the indiscriminate parking of articulated vehicles on our highaways has led to many accidents, which have resulted in the loss of many lives.
“Let me assure the FRSC of my total support in ensuring that enforcement of road traffic rules does not exempt or accord any undue respect to positions, ranks and status of any select group of road users.
“I charge the Corps Marshal to come up with an immediate action plan in conjunction with other stakeholders in ensuring that adequate parks are provided for trailers and tankers on our highways nationwide and submit same for my consideration,” President Jonathan concluded.
