LASTMA to start arresting traffic offenders at home

Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has adopted a new system of booking traffic offenders rather than impounding their vehicles. The new system which kicked off last Friday Sept. 18th, will have LASTMA issuing tickets to defaulters and allowing them to go with their vehicles but the defaulters will be asked to pay a penalty for the offense within a stipulated time which will be stated on the ticket issued. Failure to pay up will amount to arrest of such defaulter at their homes.

The question now is, how will they know a defaulters true address? After the cut is a list of traffic offenses and their penalties as posted on LASTMA's official website...

    The only solution still remains impounding those cars @ the point of crime until the defaulters pay for it immediately. This is Naija,for now this remains the only solution..Applying mild methods like this won't still work.

    Well, that's a good
    development, at least it
    will reduce public
    embarrassment and
    violence between motorist
    and LASTMA officials,
    however, am sure they are
    depending on data's
    collected during plate
    no. registration to track
    offenders at home.if dat is d case,little success will be achieved

    That's how it's been done in a developed nation, I doubt people will give out real addresses in a case of Nigeria where there isn't a social security number or address registering services, they can only put a mark on the defaulters name so when renewing his vehicle papers surely he/she can be arrested then. Kudos to Lastma on this though.

    What's the minimum wage for a traffic law offender to pay 20000 naira? How much do you get for a ticket in developed countries like the U.S. $2 or $5. Now we say this is JUSTICE? The media is supposed to just report it or HELP talk some sense into the SILLY govt.

    I gather all my life savings and bought a jalopi car(because it is a necessicity) and you ask me to pay 20,000 for a traffic offence forgetting that the minimum wage is less than 20,000. You guys must be very wicked. May the dead gods shit on the Law.

    The Lagos state government and its LASTMA officials are jokers, did anyone notice that the minimum fine payable is 20,000.00 in a country where minimum wage of civil servant is 18,000.00. where do you want people to get that kind of money. Lagos state is gradually becoming inhabitable. The civil society group should come in please.
