The Acting Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, has directed the establishment of mobile courts across the states of the federation including Akwa Ibom to try road traffic violators during the yuletide period.
He gave the directive during the ember-months’ Special Patrol flag-off rally which was held in the Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday.
Biu, who was represented by Ekette Bassey, urged area commands of the FRSC to pay particular attention throughout the period to effective traffic control and look out for failure to install/use speed limiting devices by commercial vehicles and overloading.
Others are: lane indiscipline, driver license violation, removal of rickety vehicles on the road and other obstructions, driving with expired/worn-out tyres, and vehicles without spare tyres.
The Corps Marshall stated that the reason behind the measure was to cut down on road traffic crashes and the attendant loss of lives and properties usually experienced during the period.
