LAGOS VOWS TO APPREHEND VEHICLES WITHOUT PLATE NUMBERS, COVERED PLATES
… Says Enforcement Underway
In a determined effort to enhance security and enforce traffic regulations, the Lagos State Government has again issued a stern warning to Motorists found driving without proper number plates or utilizing covered ones, deeming it a violation of sections 15 and 16 of the State’s Transport Reform Law, (TSRL 2018).
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi issued the warning on Friday, stressing that such actions not only breach traffic laws but also pose a significant threat to public safety and security. He highlighted that driving without visible number plates hampers law enforcement efforts and complicates the identification of vehicles involved in criminal activities.
Mr. Osiyemi underscored the necessity of all prominently displayed valid, unobstructed number plates in adherence to TSRL 2018. Non-compliance, he warned, would incur strict penalties, including fines and potential vehicle impoundment.
Quoting section 16 of the TSRL 2018, the Transportation Commissioner reiterated that, “A person, who drives a vehicle that is not registered, or does not have affixed identification mark in the prescribed manner, commits an offence”.
While urging voluntary compliance, the Commissioner reminded Motorists to adhere to the State’s traffic rules and regulations, assuring the public that the State Government remains unwavering in its commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for all road users.
