I don't think google map is problem, many don't know how to use it. Its not about looking at the directions on the phone... There is an audio that you simply need to listen to to turn left or right(many don't know that). Speed limit.... Its to early.... We are nkr there yet |

fergie1989:there are just few directional signages in Abuja different from what we have in major cities like Jo'burg, New York and even Lagos. The major thing that will direct you is google map. Without that you are just driving by mere instincts, climbing bridge and coming down. I heard the same FRSC has been directed to award this contract and huge amount allocated but they are still rotating it around interests for easy embezzlement. FRSC lacks the moral justification to be taking about prohibition of google maps especially when it come to Abuja. Nigeria is the only place where you run with the hare and at the same time hunt with the hounds. I have never seen a place like this in any part of the world. |

Charleys:Don't mind them, they have now replaced the national assembly, making laws as they like. Which Nigerian law makes the installation of speed limiting device mandatory, and for which category of vehicles? Many modern cars comes with Google map and GPS installed, will FRSC also impound these cars and arrest their drivers? It is mandatory for taxi services like Uber and taxi taxify to have Google map on their car or phones, will they close these companies or arrest all their driver's? 2 Likes |

USE OF PHONE TO ACCESS GOOGLE MAP APP WHILE DRIVING: FRSC'S TRUE POSITION The attention of the Fede ral Road Safety Corps has been drawn to an online publication where the Sector Commander, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Corps Commander Wobin Ayuba Gora was quoted out of context on the use of google map app while driving, during the 2019 'Ember Months' flag off held in Lugbe, FCT on Wednesday. According to the writer, the FCT Sector Commander while delivering his ember months address stated that driving with the aid of Google map using mobile phone is a serious traffic offence. The Corps wishes to state that the Sector Commander must have been misquoted and his statement outrightly misrepresented because the Federal Road Safety Corps as a technology driven organisation is not and has never stood against the use of google map by motorists. To state the obvious, we have always enlightened the public on the position of the law on use of phone while driving which the Sector Commander tried to emphasize during the flag off. The statement he made during the flag off buttresses the position of the Corps, which is that any driver who intends to deploy the use of Google map while driving must have it set on the phone before embarking on the journey, not while the vehicle is already in motion as this could be dangerous to the driver and other road users, and can lead to road traffic crash. We say this because, available records have shown that use of phone for whatever purpose; be it text, voice calls, chats, browsing, setting google map to find location etc while driving could be distractive and can easily lead to loss of concentration. This has led to many road traffic crashes with attendant loss of lives and properties. On the strength of this, the Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to reiterate its position on use of phone while driving as a dangerous and hazardous road traffic behaviour which has led to unwanted and avoidable road crashes. We therefore call on all motorists who intend to deploy the use of google map on their phone especially during the festive season when traffic density is high, to activate such before setting the vehicle in motion so as to ensure 100 percent concentration on the wheels. Road Safety is State of Mind, Road Traffic Crash is Absence of Mind. Stay Alert, Stay Alive! FRSC Cares for Your Safety. Signed: Bisi Kazeem FSI Corps Commander Public Education Officer FRSC 1 Like |

trinity227: Our law enforcement officers are either uneducated or misinformed. The way they talk smtmes is very embarrassing to say the least. Another one said we must put speed limits in our personal vehicle. How is that their business Marvell’s me. They shud rather educate the state drivers on the speed limits legal for the state and let people comply. U can’t force anyone to buy or put a speed limit device in their cars. We know how to find excuses to perpetuate our corruption. |

Internetmaster7: Operating any device while driving is a cause of distraction, and hence accidents. Eyes on the road, always. UK DVLA recommends your phone must be mounted on to a steady surface, which must be within your view, without you having to stare away to look at it. Dunno how easy it would be to implement this recommendation in Nigeria. |

It is a traffic offense ONLY if you are holding your phone in one hand while driving. If you have an inbuilt GPS in your car, or a phone holder fixed to your dash or windscreen, you are fine. An offense is an offense. Tagging it serious is just to ensure the bribe payable on the roads is high. FRSC should know better than this in 2019... This is not 1819 or 1919 or even 1979, we are in 2019. 1 Like 1 Share |

Instead of educating the people on the safe usage of the google map, they are there spilling shit! Why is incompetence the bane of this society? A technology used worldwide to the betterment of man is seen as retrogressive here. What is wrong with these people? |

I think road safety should be disbanded and be inserted into a more needed new organization like a search and rescue corps we need them more effective and efficient than just constituting a nuisance on Nigerian roads |
