A Twitter user @MrOladinni was left baffled when he received a text message from the Lagos State Government informing him of a traffic offense fine amounting to N60,000
The man said it was shocking because he was unaware that he had committed any traffic offense.
His offenses, according to an image he shared, include driving with an expired vehicle license, which attracted a N20,000 fine.
Driving with expired insurance and driving without a valid roadworthiness certificate (RWC) also attracted N20,000 fines, respectively.
Sharing his surprise, he said:
“when did Lagos start all this one?”
Nigerians reacts

“It’s all about the cameras mounted at strategic locations. Once they pick up your plate number, it runs through their system, and if your papers are expired, the next thing is a bill. This applies to traffic lights as well.”

“A commendation for doing this wouldn’t be bad though, even though it’s long overdue. At least a state is starting it, and I’m sure other states will emulate it. Gradually, this act will tackle roadside extortions from enforcement agencies.
Will this be effective on the commercial driver’s too???
