Here are the latest fines on Traffic Offences for Lagos State. By the way, the photo above jerks an interesting memory, anyways, here are what you need to do if you don’t want to empty your account on the road.

If you must recall, the new Governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu have said no body is above the law, including his colleagues.

On this list, No. 8 and 9 is somehow, so just be careful. And why would someone tint his or her windscreen? I have never supported drivers driving on walk ways, it’s annoying and very wrong.
