Road accident occurrences have actually taken a significant
reduction in 2014 as against 2013 because the Federal Road Safety Corps
(F.R.S.C) has been proactive enough.
This statement was made known by Commander Bisi Shonubi, a
public educator at the FRSC office, Isheri, Lagos State, While granting an exclusive
interview with Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria
Speaking on behalf of the sector commander, “FRSC has been
proactive enough in the sense that, we didn’t wait until ember months before
most of our campaign activities were dished out”, she said.
“we have series of campaigns on road traffic rules and
regulations running from January and we are repeating same this year, she also
disclosed, making it known that the total number of accidents recorded in2013
was 367 while in 2014, statistics says was 323 which all happens to be the
reported cases.
She further buttressed the fact that private car users
violate traffic laws and regulations; indulge in dangerous driving activities
compared to the commercial drivers.
She speaks“Most learned private car users use their phones
while driving, they even carry children
on their laps while driving ,can you
imagine somebody carrying a p 12 years old which is against traffic rules and
you can’t see this in commercial vehicles”.
, “The thing with commercial drivers is that they carry more
passengers”.
According to her, safety campaign activities has been intensified
in order to make road accident
precautionary measures reach the general
public and ensure safety of lives.

safety should be part of the curriculum in schools where children are taught
the same.
