Musa Dagara of the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO), Abuja, on Tuesday advised motorists in the territory to maintain high level of concentration and alertness while driving.
Dagara said doing such would go a long way in reducing the spate of accidents on the roads.
He also advised drivers to avoid making phone calls while on the wheels, and to regulate their speed.
“We always advise drivers to ensure that they maintain high degree of alertness and concentration while on the wheels.
“We observe that some drivers go as far as making phone calls and even browsing on their mobile phones while driving.
“This is very dangerous and it exposes them to accidents on the roads, “he said.
Dagara spoke against the backdrop of a ghastly car crash which occurred at the bridge before Wuse 2 , recently
“The course of the accident was speeding and dangerous overtaking by the driver.
“Such accidents are avoidable if drivers are more careful and obey traffic regulations,’’ he said.
He added that three occupants of the Ford Sports car involved in the accident were critically injured and were rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Abuja
