FRSC to extend number plates, driving licence deadline

There are indications that the Federal Road Safety Corps may extend the deadline for the enforcement of new driving licence and number plates.
The corps had given September 30 as deadline for motorists to obtain the two vital documents and was expected to commence a nationwide enforcement on October 1.
But following public outcry showing that over 50 per cent of motorists had yet to procure the two items, the FRSC might have bowed to pressure to extend the deadline to the end of the year.
A source at the FRSC head office in Abuja told our correspondent on the telephone on Wednesday that the Corp Marshal, Mr. Osita Chidoka, had already sent a proposal to the joint tax force for the extension.
There were complaints from motorists, especially in Lagos and Abuja that they faced a lot of difficulties in processing the new driving licence and the number plates.
Meanwhile, the FRSC on Wednesday in Lagos continued its speed limit campaign and encouraged motorists and transport companies to install a standard device in their vehicles.

Periodontal traumatism Excessive occlusal forces result in typical changes in the periodontal ligament and also bone. If these abnormal occlusal forces are chronic and repeated over a long period of time, the periodontal ligament gradually becomes denser and the periodontal space widens. The alveolar bone becomes denser also and the teeth will show obvious linear patterns, with definite facets on the crowns of teeth. An acute traumatic force sufficient to produce traumatic injury to the periodontium also results in rather specific changes in the tooth attachment apparatus. For example a force which tips a tooth sharply to the buccal side results in a crushing of the periodontal ligament fibres and perhaps of the alveolar crest bone. The blood vessels in the involved area become thrombosed, and edema and extravasations of blood occurs. On the opposite side of the tooth there is often a tear of the periodontal ligament and sometimes cementum or bone is torn loose. ...
