Lagos officials warn residents against using broken-down vehicles throughout the city. The Vehicle Inspection Service has recently removed many unsafe cars from the streets. VIS Director Akin-George Fashola considers these vehicles dangerous for everyone on the road.
Workers grabbed numerous unsafe cars across Lagos. The impounded vehicles had worn parts, old systems, and missing safety features. Fashola called these cars time bombs waiting to explode. He linked these vehicles to many crashes, causing deaths, injuries, and property damage.
Expired tires, makeshift brake repairs, and rusty body parts are among the problems. Most of these vehicles run at night, when passengers might not notice their poor condition. The director asked people to avoid any car that looked poorly maintained.
He promised impounded vehicles would stay off roads permanently. VIS works with transport unions to keep streets safe for all travelers. People can report unsafe vehicles at
