Read Time:1 Minute, 29 Second
The General Manager, Lagos State Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI), Mrs. Afusat Tiamiyu has appealed to the motoring public and professional drivers to make safety of lives and property their priority while commuting this Eid-El-Fitr celebration period and beyond.
She stated this in a Salah greetings message while also appealing to drivers to ensure that they do not embark on any journey without servicing their vehicles and to also ensure that they are in good working condition to avoid unnecessarily loss of lives and property.
According to her, drivers should ensure that they abide by the trainings they have received at the Institute, be of good conduct and drive with utmost caution during and beyond the festive holidays.
Mrs Tiamiyu however enjoined the motoring public to do away with reckless habits that may cause unnecessary accidents such as phone usage, over-speeding, over-loading, disobedience to traffic lights and other traffic rules and regulations.
“Check the condition of your vehicle before setting out, don’t manage damaged vehicle brake, check and replace your tyre(s) if necessary, make sure you have a fire extinguisher, jerk, spanner and C-caution in your vehicle when embarking on a journey.” She stressed.
The LASDRI boss added that safe driving is a shared responsibility between driver and passenger.
The driver has his own role to perform by not drinking while driving, by having enough rest and being in a good state of mind before embarking on any journey.
While the passenger on his own part needs to speak up and caution any driver engaging in reckless driving.
She therefore encouraged professional drivers to visit any of LASDRI Centres and Annexes for their annual mandatory training in a bid to imbibe safe driving culture. “Igbega Ipinle Eko, Ajumose Ni.” She enthused.
