Owners of vehicles without speed limit devices in Taraba
State, have been urged to, as a matter of urgency, get the devices or risk the
chances of getting their vehicles impounded.
The state Commandant of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC), Selina Williams, said the corps has concluded arrangements to impound
such vehicles, as well as vehicles still using old number plates.
She made the disclosure on Saturday at an interactive
session with media practitioners, in Jalingo, the state capital.
The decision to impound such vehicles, she said, has become
imperative following an upsurge in the rate of road crashes which she believed
are caused by over-speeding.
The corps, according to her, has concluded plans to
clampdown on all vehicles without speed limit devices and old number plates in
order to mitigate road accidents.
“We will also impound vehicles which indulge in overloading
and other traffic offenses so as to reduce the rate of road crashes in our dear
state,” she said.
She also admonished motorists in the state to endeavor to go
online to obtain the speed limit devices in order to avoid the wrath of the law
from catching up with them.
