The Ogun West Zonal Commander of Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), Engineer Oluwatoyin Olugbenga, has urged motorists to comply with the computerised vehicle inspection test before issuance of road worthiness certificate.
While giving the advice in her office, she stated that most of the articulated vehicles moving on the road were below the minimum standard in accordance with the road traffic law, thereby causing carnages.
Most of the vehicle’s papers, according to the Ogun West Zonal Commander, have expired while the drivers too were driving on the road without valid driver’s licenses, causing them to drive recklessly to skip arrest. This she added have increased the high rate of crashes on the road.
She stressed the need for vehicle owners to comply with the computerised vehicle inspection test as its more cheaper and reliable than taking their vehicles to roadside mechanic that will be guessing and trying in errors.
“Am encouraging all vehicle owners to submit their vehicles to computerised inspection centres for proper scanning to detect unfunctioning mechanical parts in their vehicles. This will easily direct mechanic on where to touch and repair. This is the best way of maintaining vehicle and to reduce road traffic crashes.
“Most cases motorists unknownly spend higher than what they supposed to roadside mechanic to avoid going to vehicle inspection test centres. This impatience and ignorance are causing more damages to their vehicles.
“The inspection test has the capability to detect bad tyres, faulty brake pads, loosed nuts ought to hold tyre rims and electrical faults which could easily cause more damaging to vehicles and carnages while moving on the road,” Engineer Olugbenga added.
She advised Nigerians to stop compromising human safety because by so doing, they exposed their lives to danger.
She also appealed to vehicle owners to ensure their vehicle documents are intact including valid driver’s licence before embarking on any journey.
