FRSC to enforce use of helmet by motorcyclists

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is deploying all its operational energies in enforcing the use of helmets by motorcyclists across the country.

The corps public education officer, Bisi Kazeem said this on Monday in Abuja in an interview with newsmen.

He stressed that the enforcement had reduced fatalities in the event of crash, adding that motorcyclists were vulnerable road users as most of the crashes involving them were fatal.

The spokesperson said the use of helmets reduces damage to sensitive parts of their bodies, including eyes, skull, brain and nose.

Kazeem also said that the ban on motorcycles on the expressway was still in force, adding that the corps was utilising its workforce in enforcing it.
