See New Traffic Offences that can send People to Jail in Lagos

If you own and drive a car in Lagos, be careful not to be caught violating traffic laws for your own good.

Under the Lagos Traffic Law which will be strictly enforced from Monday by the Traffic Courts, violators of some of the offences can be jailed for some number of months.

Below are the 7 offences that offenders can either be fined, imprisoned or both...

*Driving an unlicensed vehicle

*Driving a vehicle with an unauthorized or defective number plate
_
*Driving with a forged driver’s licence

To achieve this new drive, the state government has already inaugurated five Mobile Court buses for road traffic offenders, with a pledge to end impunity on the roads.
