Lagos State New Traffic Offences And Their Fines
The Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has released a new list of traffic offences and fines for drivers in the state in order to avoid their cars from being impounded by the state law enforcement agency.
This online newspaper understands that after working so hard or taking a loan to acquire a car, the last thing one would want is to watch the car being auctioned off at a ridiculous price to some stranger who doesn’t know what you passed through to get the car.
But that can only happen if one violates any of the many traffic rules in Lagos State. Please try anything possible to obey the below new Traffic rules for the state and its management is not joking this time.
