Oreagba, who spoke at his office in Lagos, urged drivers to consult the vehicle manufacturer’s specification sticker, adding that there was a need for drivers to carry out routine inspections of their tyres.
He stated that the event was part of the festive period enlightenment campaign efforts being organised by LASTMA while calling on motorists to avoid over-speeding and consider the lives of others on the road by ensuring that they don’t buy fairly used tyres.
“They should always look at the manufacturing date of their tyres because a tyre expires after four years. We have been going to churches, mosques and motor parks to sensitize them.
“They are more conscious now. We are also trying to check their blood and sugar levels. We are hoping that with this sensitisation, accidents will reduce to the barest minimum.”
