As part of its activities to ensure accident-free Embers months (September to December), the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) is to commence sensitization campaign across the state.<\/p>\n

The exercise is geared towards educating the commercial drivers and other road users on road traffic rules, safety measures and precautions, the negative effect of overloading and speed limitation during the ember months.<\/p>\n

According to the Director of VIS, Engineer Akin George Fashola in Lagos, called on sellers of intoxicants such as drugs and liquor in truck\/trailer parks in the state to desist from such acts, as the service was determined to put an end to drug and alcohol related road accidents.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, warned the drivers to desist from patronizing the \u2018paraga\u2019 sellers as to enable them concentrate on the road.<\/p>\n

While reiterating the need to address the menace of truck drivers, Engr Fashola vowed to bring sanity to all the roads in Lagos adding that “the marching orders of the governor would checkmate the activities of all trucks; tankers, trailers and rickety vehicles such as danfo, buses and others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
