FRSC To Start Seizing Vehicles With Expired Tyres by olatade(m): 6:29am On May 10, 2016 |
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced that it would begin to confiscate vehicles with expired or substandard tyres. According to Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the agency, the measure became necessary to curb incessant road accidents usually caused by poor tyre usage in vehicles. “What we’re going to commence immediately is that any vehicle that has expired tyres or substandard tyres, we’re going to impound the vehicles,” Mr. Oyeyemi said. “Enough is enough to this. All the crises we’re talking about from February this year to April, they were all tyre-related. “After impounding it (the vehicle), we’ll ask the owner to go and replace it with a genuine one. The passengers we’ll arrange for their continuous journey so as to reduce the pains. But I will not allow an expired tyre fitted on a vehicle to continue the journey,” Mr. Oyeyemi said. He also decried the lack of tyre manufacturing companies in the country and appealed to appropriate authorities to do their utmost best in ensuring that the situation is addressed. “It’s not a problem that started today, we’ve been raising this alarm since Dunlop and Michelin shut down in Nigeria and relocated,” the FRSC boss said. “So it’s a result of this that led to over 250 different distorted substandard tyres in the country today and we appeal to Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Nigerian Association of Chamber of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture to do their very best in looking into this and see how tyre manufacturing plants can be brought into life. He spoke at a Stakeholders' forum in Abuja. http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/nigeria-frsc-to-start-seizing-vehicles-with-expired-tyres.211588/ 1 Like 1 Share |

And under whose authority did they expire a tire they didn't make? Instead of educating vulcanisers and cars owners on the dangers of over inflation or underinflation they are busy condemning what they know nothing about how it's made. Last I checked, they can be sued to court. Silly set of idiots. Our roads have virtually no Road signs, no crash barriers, no Lane departure warning stripes, no lights, no freaking safety features and they are having an orgasm over tyres. It was formerly overspeeding, now it's expired tyres. Chai, why them born me for this country self? 84 Likes 5 Shares |

Madness of this government is increasing on a daily basis. - Where is your own locally manufactured tyre plants? - What are you doing to regulate the quality of imported tyres with manipulated expiry date? - Agreed, tyre has a specified expiry date, I am also aware their are shelf-life extension for all products with DOE, what mechanism do we have to check the quality vs shelf life extension. Having a valid expiry date does not guarantee safety, and continuous usage. ** From my personal experience, I travelled from Ilorin to Lagos with my 4 Brand New tyres, getting to Ibadan I had to replace two tyres as a result of sudden deformation, (Mind you with toks), getting to Sagamu, I replaced another one, getting to Mowe, the driving was no longer conducive again as the 4th one was also giving way. I managed that to my house in Otta. Meaning I changed 4 new tyres purchase less than 3 months valued (18k x 4 = 72k) in a single trip. So, you mean FRSC along the road can arrest my vehicle ![]() ![]() Nigeria needs deliverance. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Tyre expiry date. The expiry date is four years from the date of production. When the FRSC stops you, they'll check the date of production and add four years to it. They'll impound your car if the tyre was manufactured more than four years ago.

Is that the solution when most vehicles uses expire tire. They should have commenced from impounding vehicles with over inflated tires because that's not affected by economic issue that made people not to be able to afford new and genuine tires. The policy is not just sustainable. |

Silly! FRSC and their silly ideas. Tell me how you want to implement this. Spot checks? Use of binoculars? Secondly, is this really under their purview? This should be done by the VIO. However, those ones are only concerned with targeting vehicles they feel can pay spot fines if found without complete papers while letting visibly road unworthy vehicles to pass by 2 Likes |

Re: FRSC To Start Seizing Vehicles With Expired Tyres by Nobody: 7:11am On May 11, 2016 |
I'd like to see the fRSC actually reference a genuine study on leading causes of road accidents on Nigerian roads. I'm sure the 'incessant' potholes, displaced road dividers, leaning lamp posts, lack of streetlights, etc would rank highly. New tyres will still suffer on our abysmal roads. These people are just a bunch of opportunists out to harass common people out of their little earnings. I'm not saying that insisting that drivers got good tyres is wrong.....I'm saying if they pull someone over for having a cracked windscreen and allow a tipper spewing un-covered gravels all over the road to pass - there's something wrong with that. On this issue, though, I believe taxi drivers will agree on 'fair fee' to remain untouchable while the FRSC focuses on harassing middle class people. 14 Likes 2 Shares |
