FRSC Urges Edo Motorists to Put Safe Arrivals Ahead of Speed

The Federal Road Safety Corps has urged motorists in Edo State to prioritise safety over speed as it marked the 2026 African Road Safety Day and World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. The event’s theme was “A Light That Unites Us.” Edo Sector Commander Preye E. Bedford said the day honours people killed in road crashes and recognises the impact on their families and communities. He said the FRSC is promoting seat-belt and helmet use and strengthening rescue efforts with community and transport groups. Bedford warned commercial drivers against reckless driving, overloading and impatience. He also urged passengers to speak up about dangerous driving and avoid unsafe or overloaded vehicles. He said reducing road deaths and injuries by at least 50 per cent by 2030 will require shared commitment, adding that arriving safely matters more than arriving early.
