Park! Inner-light!

What can we do about all these road blocks, bribes and baseless arrests?

What does the police have to do with if my fuel guage works or not?

Nigerians have forgotten what search warrants are!

What was the last excuses you gave not to part with your N20/ 100.

*Oga police i just buy fuel wit all my money?

since all my paper are always correct i always tell tem i dont give police money.

Most Nigerian motorist are not aware of what documents they need to have while driving neither are we aware of the limits of police power on the highway.

The way some of them force open your door and jump into your car is a case in point or 'stop and search' for no justifiable reason.

The authorities are not helping either by shrouding the entire thing in mystery.

I propose we establish a traffic rights advocacy group to champion the legal rights of motorist, educate them and seek to regulate the conduct the traffic officers on the highway

I agree with Ovamboland on the establishment of a traffic rights advocacy group to champion the legal rights of motorist, educate them and seek to regulate the conduct the traffic officers on the highway.
I have been in Abuja for some months now and i noticed that Police hardly harass motorists as compared to Lagos.
Something must be done asap.

It's a terrible thing i tell you all. I hear stories about these things and the day i encountered them at national stadium bridge in the evening and they asked me for my cars customs paper i just asked them two questions and they embarrassingly let me go, laughing foolishly and asking for 'Oga find us something naw'.
You just know your right, but also be careful especially at night checkpoints at lonely areas. As some of them are not really policemen.

HELLO.
could you just please help us by telling us the exact particularts.
Because, the police seems to asking some ridiculous papers, i.e. purchase receipt.
In short, what are the papers that should be carried by drivers.
Regards.

A few months back i read an interview of Lagos Police PRO I think Chris Mba is his name, he mentioned 3 documents a police man can legally demand for:

1. Drivers Licence
2. Vehicle Licence
3 Insurance certificate

Outside those three items, the boundary would have been crossed. And they can only start checking your engine/chasis number if they have in possession a petition indicating a car looking like yours may be missing.

But it is still mere talk, the polce is yet to come out with a written document, widely circulated to give effect to the PPRO's statement

It would be better if we could compel the Police PRO to state these items in black and white.
And also on national television.
A case where police officer starts asking you for receipt of purchase, police clearance, hackney permit and road worthiness (these are suppose to be for commercial only) not to talk of forms A, B, C and D etc should not be accepted.
