Good evening all.

 

I received this from a friend and thought I should share it.

 

Dear all,

The Lagos State Government has passed a bill to repeal and re-enact the road traffic law in the state. The bill is aimed at regulating vehicular movement and to impose sanctions on erring vehicle operators in the state.
 
The provisions of the amended traffic law are as follows:
 
· Driving against traffic, popularly known as one way driving, now attracts a 3-year jail term, while a first offender gets one year term and the vehicle forfeited to the state government.
·  Also, any bullion van driven in a direction prohibited by law will be forfeited, while abandoned vehicle on highway will be fined N50,000,or three years imprisonment, or both.
 
· Riding a motorcycle against traffic and riding on the kerb, median or road setbacks will attract N20,000 for first offenders, while subsequent offence will get N30,000fine to the motorcycle will be impounded.
 
· Riding a motorcycle without crash helmet for rider/passenger will attract N20,000 or 3 years imprisonment or both.
 
· The law also prohibits under aged persons, less than 18yrs old from riding a motorcycle and the fine is N20,000
 
· Operating a motorcycle in a restricted area or prohibited route will attract fine of N20,000 or the motorcycle will be impounded
 
· Smoking while driving will attract N20,000
 
· Failure to give way to traffic on the left at a roundabout is N20,000
 
· Disobeying traffic control will attract a fine of N20,000
 
· Violation of route by commercial vehicles will attract N20,000
 
· Driving without valid driving license will attract vehicle impoundment
 
· Learners driving without permit will attract a fine of N20,000
 
· Driving with fake number plate will attract N20,000 for first offenders and 6 months imprisonment or both for subsequent infractions.
 
Also outlawed are the following;
