Industries in Ogun State had been admonished to  cultivate habit of prompt maintenance of vehicles plying Ogun State road in order to avoid incessant vehicle break down which often leads to  accident and claims productive lives.

The Ogun West TRACE Commander, Cdr.

He said efforts must be made to evacuate any vehicle which develops  mechanical fault on the road in order to curb  drivers whose sights might have been blurred by foggy weather, especially during rains or harmattan or by too much of alcohol ram into such abandoned vehicles thereby leading to a fatal accident.

According to him, "having realized that record shows truck drivers were responsible for most accidents on major roads in the state, the TRACE Corps Commander/CEO mandated the Area Commander to ensure truck drivers of companies within our Command are routinely trained". 

He warned that drivers should avoid taking alcohol while driving adding that there is no reason why a reasonable driver who is not out a psychiatric case or highered killer should drive against the traffic rules.

He solicited for more supports from the  drivers by strictly adhering to traffic rules in order to reduce carnages on the our roads and shun aggressiveness with Government operatives on roads.
