Driving against traffic is bad. But auctioning ones vehicle is wicked, coupled with the jail terms. In London you are referring to, you bwill be issued a ticket to go and pay a stipulated fine, not outright impoundment. Wicked government

Corridon:
Until the traffic offenders kill you or your relatives before you condemn them. Rule is rule. Without rules we are nothing but savages.

This is sad,,after 3yrs of imprisonment??

How about Charging him a Fine..What a Wicked Comment

Nyamiri:


There are traffic offences and then, there is one way driving. Normal traffic offences attract fines.

For one way drivers, you are seen as driving your vehicle with intent to kill. This is because of the high likelihood of knocking down passers by and other motorists.

I have personally seen 2 people knocked down by one way drivers and I don't wish it on anyone. I believe jailing one way drivers and confiscating their vehicles is in order.

Alpharey:


Says ewedu gobbler. Your opinion is inconsequential.

Munamoqel:
may be you have not stayed in Lagos . If road where normal why pass one way . For year apapa people used one way to get to port including top govt official and lastma people . The road has been turned to park by truck and if you hook na still next day .

crafteck:



Im not asking for them to be left free, if no one died, give them choice of 3 months imprisonment or 200k,if they killed then you can take the car. People makinh these rules from my experience have made money of the commoners and usually move to ikoyi or less peasantly affordable locations so they dont go through what MOST of the one way perpetrators go through.

Patriotsleague:

Law is law, in UK, US they impound cars, go back to your lawless Igbo land where there is no law and order. You must not live in Lagos. Driving on one way kills. It's madness to use one way.

Agboola321:
Traffic offence is a crime but I feel the rule is quite harsh if he had to spend 3 years in prison. That's a whole lot.

LASG should come up with a more refined and humane approach.

Corridon:
We have to obey the laws if we want to progress as a nation. What you can't do in London is what you are doing in Nigeria. We all want a sane country but we don't want to be sane.

Mumus

See how they're acting like the victims now.
HOW DID THEY GET TO THAT POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE!?

They broke the law!!!

TheFacelessMan:


Thanks for your efforts and rusher14's at cleaning up this thread.

I have Liked and Shared every single post of yours. All of them make sense.

The sentence might seem harsh but believe me those who will lose their cars at auction, those who hear about it will spread the word ....

Gradually people will understand that the Law is the Law in Lagos State. The Government will be initially vilified but eventually imitated in more progressive states.

We know but is that the kind of punishment they give in London. This is wickedness.

Chidelis:


That's why there should be fine or seizure of the car for 6months or a year as punishment and not auctioning, cos na poor man go sufer the matter, big man motor no dey there

Guide777:

Even in London, the traffic offence is penalised with fine not with Jail term or Auctioning of the offender's vehicle. Traffic offence should be civil not criminal. The law that empowers Lagos state government to this is repressive and inhumane.

Funflipper:


If you drive against traffic, you are going to prison because you are wilfully endangering the lives of other road users.

crafteck:


So a lagosian should leave lagos if lagos isnt good for him? ... Now i see your line of thought.
It would get to the point where people are shot for crossing express(especially where there are no pedestrian bridges or poorly maintained ones} before you understand crime and punishment ratio.

oyin44:


what are they waiting for, go back to your jungle ..

or is Lagos State part of South east.?

Oh sorry.....

l forgot, south east is a deserted region .

Inhabitants of civilians and ghosts.

Ipob and esn have turned it to hostile hosts.

No go area

Johnrake69:


Did you just downplay the role of the elites in the crisis we're faced in Nigeria?

Who embazzle money for road construction? Who loots money for hospitals? Who loots money for schools? Who loots money for worker's pension?

How many people have died from such compared to people dying everyday because of bad roads, inadequate health care facilities etc?

The point is that the system has been designed against the poor from the beginning.

Go to Nigerian prison more than 60% have no reason being there in the first place. They're there because they don't have anyone to look into their case and the Nigerian system doesn't give a damn.
