The Federal Road Safety Corps, Ondo State Sector Command, has reiterated its commitment to arresting any motorcyclist riding on highways in the state without a crash helmet.
The FRSC State Sector Commander, Dr Samuel Ibitoye, gave the warning while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Akure, the state capital.
Ibitoye said that the corps had redoubled its efforts to arrest, impound and prosecute any motorcyclist riding on highways without a helmet.
He explained that most of the crashes involving motorcycles without crash helmets usually resulted in fatalities, where skulls, limbs and thighs were broken.
“It is good for motorcycle riders to avoid highways completely but when they find themselves there, they should use crash helmets and not engage in competition with the vehicles, especially heavy vehicles.
“Don’t claim any rights on the way as an exposed road user, please let the vehicle go and have your own life intact.
“There is a sanction for any motorcyclist riding on highways without the use of a helmet.
