FCTA to prosecute owners of impounded vehicles

The FCTA reports that 100 tricycles and motorbikes and 149 cars were confiscated in the FCT due to traffic violations, and that their owners would have to appear before a mobile court.

After examining the seized automobiles on Friday in Abuja, FCTA Directorate of Road Traffic Services Director Dr. Abdulateef Bello made the following statement.

Bello, who went to see the confiscated cars, tricycles, and motorbikes at various VIO Commands, made it clear that their owners would be made to pay for their transgressions.

He included unlawful motor parks, taxis without proper registration or markings, and parking in no-parking zones as examples of these offenses.

If you want to stay on the right side of the law and save money, follow the rules.

We’ve encouraged delivery drivers to sign up and stick to designated routes and parking lots rather than using the roads as they please.

We’ve also instructed tricycle drivers to stick to the established roadway layout.

They are banned from entering the metropolis. He explained that these buses serve the purpose of transporting people to and from the city’s estates and suburbs.

He stated the driving laws had been examined and that fines would be increased proportionally.

Of the mobile court, he remarked, “but I am sure it will serve as a deterrent,” meaning that traffic offenders would pay a heavy price.

The director reported that the office was collaborating with the Federal Capital Territory Administration’s Transport Secretariat to assess the effectiveness of current traffic control initiatives.

He thinks this will lead to better traffic control regulations.
