The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps has advised motorists to avoid driving through flooded roads and adopt safe driving practices to reduce road crashes during the rainy season.
The agency gave the advice in a statement issued on Friday by its Public Relations Officer, Babatunde Akinbiyi, while unveiling its Rainy Season Safe Motoring Guide themed, “Safe and Responsible Driving… A MUST!”
Akinbiyi said the rainy season is often characterised by reduced visibility, slippery roads and longer stopping distances, making it necessary for motorists to exercise extra caution.
“Stay Alert. Slow Down. Arrive Safely. By adopting safe driving practices and ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy, every journey can be completed safely,” he said.
