“it’s unfortunate that 28 lives were burnt beyond recognition in the fatal accident caused excessive speeding and traffic violations.


“The contract between drivers and passengers is to take them safely to their destinations after they have paid, not drive them to their graves.


He added that drivers must always exercise patience on the highway.


Ibitoye said that passengers must also ensure their safety by cautioning drivers, who always throw caution into the air, adding that passengers can as report reckless drivers to FRSC personnel on the highway.


“This is why everyone must participate in road safety, the passengers too have a role to play by cautioning drivers or reporting them to FRSC personnel on the highway.
