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.
