Federal Road Safety Corps has warned road drivers against the use of alcohol and narcotics especially while driving.
Bayelsa State Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr. Vincent Jack issued this warning during a joint public education campaign with officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Sagbama Local Government Area.
Jack said, “Drivers and riders should desist from the use of every type of drugs because it causes early ageing that could have been avoided with eating good food. During the course of their daily activities, they come in contact with people and they ooze of alcohol, making their passengers uncomfortable.”
The state Commander, NDLEA, Mrs. Josephine Obi urged the drivers to avoid substance abuse because accidents have cut short people’s dreams over the years.
Obi said “It is not the hope of anybody that when he leaves home, he will not get back in the night. Accidents, over the years, have led to people’s dream being cut short. One of the causes of accidents is the use of alcohol and other drugs and driving while under the influence (of drugs).
