FRSC To Prosecute Drivers Without License/Expired License

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Osun Command said it would start prosecuting any driver caught driving without a driver’s license or expired license, starting April 1st.

Mr Anthony Oko, Osun FRSC Sector Commander, made this known during a stakeholders meeting held at the FRSC command on Tuesday in Osogbo.

Oko said the command had created enough awareness on the need for drivers to procure a genuine driver’s license and not not drive without a license.

“Any driver caught driving without a license is regarded as a monster and a killer.

“A driver without a license is even endangering the lives of people when they drive a vehicle, because to be a driver, you have to go to a driving school, where you are trained and issued a certificate.

“Any driver that is driving without a license and gets involved in an accident would be treated as a murderer.” he said

The Sector Commander also stress the importance of going to a certified driving school, for new applicants for a driver’s license, and for refresher course for old drivers.

He said drivers should also be wary of obtaining fake driver’s license, stressing that fake driver’s licenses are difficult to differentiate from original.

He however said any driver’s license obtain without the applicant physically going to FRSC for capturing and Bio-metrics is a fake.

He said people can visit FRSC website on www.frsc.gov.ng to verify the authenticity of their drivers license or send a text “NDL status” space driver’s license number to 33811 (NAN)
