Commercial motorcyclists driving dangerously and without the muffler of the machines would be arrested and fined N50,000.The Head of Operations, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Sector Command, Malam Mu’azu Aliyu disclosed this in Bauchi on Friday while speaking with newsmen.He said residents had been complaining about the way the motorcyclists removed their mufflers to make unbearable noise while driving dangerously.He said such action was unlawful, adding that anyone caught would be arrested and fined.Reports say that some motorcyclists had expressed disapproval with the behaviour of their members who thought they were above the law.Musa Kabir, one of the motorcyclists who spoke to newsmen, said that it was wrong for his colleagues to drive dangerously in crowded areas simply because they were celebrating a marriage or birth of a child.He said the Association had warned members against damaging the image of the trade, adding that those involved in dangerous and reckless driving should be punished.“Nobody is above the law and if any motorcyclist is caught on the wrong side of the law he should be punished to serve as deterrent to others,” he said.(NAN)
