SPEED LIMITERS AND INSTALLATION

A speed limiter is a governor used to limit the top speed of a vehicle. For some classes of vehicle and in some jurisdictions they are a statutory requirement, for some other vehicles the manufacturer provides a non-statutory system which may be fixed or programmable by the driver.









WHY INSTALL A SPEED LIMITER

Speed is a major risk factor in road accident accounting for about 35% of road crashes in Nigeria (FRSC Publication).

REGULATORY REQUIREMENT

Occasioned by increased number of accidents that occur due to over speeding, the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC has commenced the enforcement of Speed Limiter Device (SLD) installation on all commercial vehicles plying Nigerian roads to ensure that drivers comply to legal road speed limit as stipulated in the Nigerian High Way Code.


"The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has announced that enforcement of the speed limiters on commercial vehicles operating in the country will commence nationwide on 1st October 2016, saying it would be total and non-compromising. He stated this during the stakeholders’ meeting held at the FRSC National Headquarters Abuja with stakeholders from relevant government agencies and road transport unions in attendance'.


The implementation of the speed limiter device is therefore mandatory for all commercial vehicles whether trucks, buses or cars. Transporter owners and drivers who fail to comply may have their vehicles impounded and will be prosecuted. It is against this background that we offer you our speed limiter device.
