Yusuf Salami, Oyo State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, is urging motorists to ensure that they had good wipers and tyres as the rainy season commenced.
Giving the advice today during an interview with newsmen in Ibadan, Salami pointed out that motorists plying the road during rains without good wiper and tyre were endangering their lives and those of other road users.
The sector commander also advised motorists to park their vehicles and wait when they felt that they could not move or see properly due to heavy rain than to continue driving and kill themselves.
Salami further advised drivers who were in the habit of drinking alcohol while driving to desist from the act, saying the corps had a machine that could easily detect such driver, adding that faulty drivers would have their vehicles impounded.
He finally called for continued collaboration of members of the public and various unions such as the NURTW to educate the road users as the corps could not do it alone.
