In Nigeria, the Federal Road Safety Commission has said beginning from June 1, 2015, motorists are expected to have Maximum Speed Limiter device in their vehicles as a means to reduce road crashes to minimal level.
Speaking with  newsmen Friday, Boboye Oyeyemi, Corps Marshal and Chief Executive Officer, FRSC, said the commission is currently empowered to apprehend any one that violates speed limit.
He said the decision was made because  the number of crashes and fatalities arising from overspeeding was alarming and needed to be curbed.
With the introduction of maximum Speed Limiter on vehicles, drivers will not be able to go beyond the limit on each road once the device is installed in their vehicles.
