In a bid to enhance security and enforce traffic regulations, the Lagos State government has warned motorists in the state against driving without proper number plates or utilizing covered ones.
The state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi who stated this emphasized that such actions not only breach traffic laws but also pose a significant threat to public safety and security.
He pointed out that driving without visible number plates hampers law enforcement efforts and complicates the identification of vehicles involved in criminal activities.
Osiyemi underscored the necessity of all prominently displaying valid, unobstructed number plates in adherence to TSRL 2018.
He warned that Non-compliance would attract 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, Osiyemi reminded Motorists to steadfastly 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.
