"This is an audition for disaster"- FRSC says after intercepting dangerously overloaded vehicles

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned against overloading of vehicles as the practice jeopardizes the lives of innocent Nigerians on the roads.

The agency gave the warning after officials intercepted dangerously overloaded vehicles across the country. 

“Is the driver okay? Is the loader okay? Because this is not transportation… this is an audition for disaster! One sudden brake, one sharp bend, and lives could be lost. #OverloadingKills,” the agency captioned one of the photos.

“At what point does “cargo” become a moving building?  This isn’t smart business; it’s a rolling road hazard waiting to happen. Safety must never be sacrificed for profit.

“By the way, who on earth looked at this load and said, “Yes, this is perfectly fine to drive”

“Overloading remains one of the fastest routes to road crashes. No delivery is worth a life. We must say no to overloading.”
