The Federal Road Safety Corps has advised motorists to drive more cautiously due to the change in weather conditions in most parts of the country.
Bisi Kazeem, the corps Public Education Officer, in a statement said visibility had reduced as a result of the bad weather, hence the need for motorists to be more careful.
He said: “It is imperative for motorists to drive carefully, and to be mindful of their blind-spots while overtaking.”
He also advised them to maintain decent speed during the period.
Je said: “They should put on headlights and tail lights for proper visibility due to the foggy weather so as to see and be seen.
“Most parts of the country are affected with more critical situations around the northern axis.”
Kazeem quoted the Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, as saying this is the time for vehicles to equally meet the minimum safety standards.
Oyeyemi urged motorists to ensure that the wipers, head and rear lights, braking systems and engines of their vehicles were in sound conditions.
