The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), DAUDA ALI-BIU, has called on Nigerians to exhibit tolerance and imbibe traffic rules and regulations while driving.

ALI-BIU said that the call became important given the improved road rehabilitations and construction going on across the country.

He urged members of the public to sustain the tempo by ensuring strict observance of all traffic rules and regulations as they drive into the new year.

The FRSC boss said he was highly pleased with the conduct of most drivers during the recent Christmas celebration, saying such accounted for the minimal rate of road traffic crashes and fatalities during the period.

According to him, if such good habits were not sustained in the new year, there could be a resurgence of crash situations, which could undermine the gains made from the special patrol.

The Corps Marshal, while emphasising the most common factors responsible for fatal crashes during the festivities, restated his earlier observations on speeding as a critical causative factor.

ALI-BIU restated his directives to the commanding officers to force down the rate of speed-induced crashes through aggressive enforcement of laws on speed limit devices.
