FRSC Tasks Motorists On Safety In Ember Months

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged motorists to have a change of attitude while behind  the wheels to avoid crashes during the ember months.
The ember months include September, October, November and December and they are characterised by increased vehicular movements due to associated activities before, during and after the yuletide.
Deputy Corps Public Education Officer, Mr Mccharm Sambo, gave the advice in an interview with Tide’s source in Abuja.
He said that it was high time for all motorists to have a change of attitude to road safety to reduce auto crashes.
“Road safety is everybody’s business. It is a serious business. Road safety has direct impact on our health, economy and our social well-being.
“So, as the ember months are here, the motoring public are advised to take road traffic tips seriously as they travel.
“They should not embark on journeys that are not planned. Some people embark on journeys that are on impulse; so we should not be seen to be embarking on a journey without planning,” Sambo said.
The officer called on drivers to ensure that their vehicles were in good driving conditions before embarking on journeys.
“Driver’s should go by the regulation of traffic rules which would help them reach their destination without any difficulty,” he said.
On the menace of under-aged drivers, Sambo said that the corps’ was doing its best to check the trend.
