The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun State Sector Command has revealed that it has started the prosecution of a man caught driving a car with only three tyres.

FRSC spokesperson in the state, Florence Okpe, made this known on Thursday, while informing journalists that the Toyota Camry car was intercepted along the Abeokuta-Sagamu highway on September 4.

According to her, the interception of the car with registration number, FFF 522 TK and the subsequent arrest of its driver, were made by a patrol team of the Ogun Sector Command, Abeokuta.

Okpe in her statement further disclosed that the driver was “charged to court for driving a mechanically deficient vehicle.”

She went on to say that the enforcement against dangerous vehicles became intensified by the FRSC in Ogun after a recent video of a car moving with three tyres along the same Abeokuta-Sagamu road went viral.

Meanwhile, the organisation’s Sector Commander in Ogun, Anthony Uga, has charged motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations, urging them to shun acts that could jeopardize their safety and that of other road users.

This arrest is coming after Corps Marshal ordered a total clampdown on rickety vehicles across the nation’s roads.
