The popular traditional rulers in Ogun State has charged the motorists to ensure that their vehicles pass through computerised Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), for proper electronic checking to reduce incessant accidents on the road.
The Olota of Ota, Oba (Prof.) Abdulkabir Obalanlege made the call while presenting his official vehicle to the Ota Zonal Office of the Ogun State VIS in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area for electronic checking, saying it was necessary to reduce carnage on the roads, as most road accidents were avoidable if motorists had done a thorough check on their vehicles before putting them on the road. “
I will like to enjoin all vehicle owners to present their vehicles for proper inspection to get rid of avoidable accidents that are usually caused by vehicle malfunctioning. We should make use of available services provided by the Ogun State Computerised Vehicle Inspection", Olota said.
He also advised motorists to obtain a drivers’ license and renew their vehicle documents, saying “it is risky to drive without being duly licensed’’.
On his part, the State VIO Zonal Commander, Ota, Dr. Oluwatoyin Olugbenga who said it was an offense for anyone to drive with an expired drivers license or not having it at all, counseled motorists to obtain a license and observe road signs, appreciating the Olota for his advice, as it would increase the VIO’s public awareness on the need for vehicle inspection.
