(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has identified illiteracy and impatience by riders as the major causes of motorcycle and tricycle accidents in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The FRSC Sector Commander in the FCT, Mr Samuel Ochi stated on Tuesday in Abuja that Okada and Keke NAPEP riders had low level of education.
According to Ochi, the riders have little knowledge of road code.
He, however, said that the corps would address road crashes involving tricycles and motorcycles from “different dimensions’’.
Ochi said that although they were supposed to operate at the outskirts, many of them had moved into the city centre, causing accidents because of their recklessness.
