The Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) would soon commence a special operation to calm down on vectra drivers found over-speeding and overloading on the nation’s highways.

The Corp Marshal and Chief Executive of the Corp, Boboye Oyeyemi said this in Jos, Friday while on an assessment visit to the zonal command, which comprised of Plateau, Benue and Nasarawa states.

Oyeyemi explained that commercial drivers driving vectra vehicles would always engage in over speeding and overloading, especially around keffi-Akwanga road, Abuja-Jos road and Jos-Bauchi.

”By next week we shall commence a special operation to calm down heavily on some of the erring commercial drivers, especially those driving vectra related vehicles.

”When we ensure the total reduction over speeding and overloading, the better and safer for the road users and passengers.

”It is not even the lawlessness and magnitude we talking about, but it is dehumanising to carry three people in front of a vehicle and five behind, and of course these vehicles are not design to carry such load”, he said.

The corps marshal added that the vectra vehicles posed serious threat to security, as most of them carry private plate numbers as against commercial plate numbers which was the ideal number for them.
