Articulated Vehicle Drivers Cautioned Against Indiscriminate Parking
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Niger on Thursday warned articulated vehicle drivers against indiscriminate parking on federal highways.
The Sector Commander, Mr Yusuf Garba, gave the warning in an interview newsmen in Minna.
He said most accidents occurred as a result of breakdown of such vehicles parked on the highways.
According to him, the sector command has taken measures to arrest and prosecute drivers found wanting.
Garba added that overloading of trucks mostly lead to break down of such heavy trucks.
He said FRSC personnel had been stationed along Jebba-Mokwa; Bida-Minna,
Minna-Lambata and Suleja-Kaduna federal highways to ensure strict compliance.
