THE Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS), Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says it is set to upwardly review traffic offence fines from the least N2,000 to a high oh N300,000.
Mr Kalu Emetu, DRTS Director of Public Relations, made this known on Monday during an enlightenment exercise embarked upon by the service in some selected motor parks in the FCT.
Emetu said the service took the decision of imposing stiffer penalties to serve as deterrent and reduce traffic offences in the territory.
“We are hoping that this development will go a long way in forcing motorists to deem it necessary to obey traffic rules and regulations.
