FRSC: Using Google Map While Driving Is A Serious Offence by fergie1989(f): 2:14am On Nov 28, 2019 |
The FCT Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ayuba Gora, says driving with the aid of Google Map using mobile phones is a serious traffic offence. NAN reports that Mr. Gora said this at the inauguration of the 2019 Ember Months Campaign by Lugbe Unit Command of the FRSC in Abuja on Wednesday. According to him, the law forbids motorists from using mobile phones in any form while driving, as it can lead to an accident. He also informed motorists that the corps will soon begin enforcement of installation of speed limiting devices. Mr Gora advised motorists, especially commercial vehicle operators, who have yet to install the device to do so. “We will embark on massive checks of vehicles without this device soon and arrest those that disconnected the devices from their vehicles. “It is very important that all vehicles should have the device installed in their vehicles. “The required speed limit for commercial vehicles even on the highways should not exceed 90 km/hr for buses and taxis. “By doing this today, we are simply reminding motorists that they must drive with care and observe traffic rules and regulations in order to make the job very easy for all of us. “If you are arrested this period, you will not just pay fines but must be taken for emotional evaluation test in the hospital to ascertain your mental fitness before we let go,” he said. He urged the public to dial 122 or 112 in case they noticed unusual behaviour by road users and in the event of an accident. Mr Gora debunked speculations that the speed limit device damages car engine, saying it had nothing to do with the engine, but only cut fuel supply during attempted speeding. “Once the vehicle reaches a predetermined top speed, the computer steps in and restricts the flow of air and fuel to the engine and even the sparks that cause combustion. “Either way, the vehicle will be unable to exceed the top speed as determined by the car’s manufacturer. “The problem we have with the operators of these vehicles is that, when a speed limiting device has been installed, they tamper with it. In the process of tampering by disconnecting, it leads to a problem,” he added. https://dailypost.ng/2019/11/27/stop-using-google-map-while-driving-frsc-warns-nigerians/amp/ 1 Like 3 Shares

How can you force people to use a speed limit device, is it in any law? Who is sponsoring the use of that speed limit device? Who is going to gain more by the installation of that speed limit device.? Who imported the speed limit device and planned with the government to enforce it on people.? 228 Likes 17 Shares |

![]() What if we told you that The Alphabet Company created the Maps to alter Google's search algorithm so that when people looked up some Direction,' information about location—and not about Disney being cryogenically frozen—would come up? Screen Rant notes that cigarettes used to be cropped out of Walt Disney's hands in an attempt to keep up with their family-friendly branding, so while creating a hit movie to mess with an internet algorithm sounds nutty, it kind of also makes sense. And if it was intentional, the team over at The Alphabet and Walt Disney Company are geniuses. 1 Like 2 Shares |

When you have fools and incompetent Bastards all over governmental agencies, this is what you get. Aren't they aware of phone accessories meant for this purpose to make drivers focus more on the road... just the same way Navigations are manufactured into the cars. Perhaps they'll also start arresting drivers making use of their inbuilt/factory-built navigation systems. ![]() Incompetent Fools! 169 Likes 3 Shares |

Just hear this mumu Statement from frsc instead of enlightening the general public of the advantage of Gmap, how to use it, safety tips like asking drivers to use the audio, to pack to view their Gmap etc. Has he even forgotten that some cars were built specifically for this purpose... He forgot to tell pilots that using map while flying is illegal.. 29 Likes |
