Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Ondo State Command has advised passengers to caution drivers against reckless driving during and after Easter festival.
Mr Olusegun Ogungbemide made this known recently.
The sector commander said “it is not just about drivers alone, members of public also have responsibilities as passengers in any vehicle.
“Passengers should caution drivers tactfully anytime they noticed recklessness without distracting the drivers. It is the passenger’s responsibility to advise driver to keep to safety rules.
“Data available to us has confirmed that passengers are always the victims anytime there is a crash, while drivers most of the time escape unhurt.
“That is why passengers should always be proactive anytime they are in transit so as not to allow their life to be wasted by reckless drivers, especially during festivities.”
He added that “our men are working day and night to make sure that crashes do not happen and eventually if it happened, our men are expected to be there within 15 minutes to rescue victims.”
He also said the command had removed vehicles parked on highways, asking that “if there is anyone we have not removed, we are pleading with the public to reach out to us immediately.”
He announced that the command was carrying out “Operation No Mercy” to enforce traffic rules and regulations across the state.
