However, the agency can not do this on it's own, the public needs to obey traffic regulations.
Once this is done, crashes and fatalities will definitely reduce.
Mr Adegboyega also spoke on the reasons for crashes which include driver's attitude, recklessness and indiscipline.
They include speeding, drunk driving and riding without helmets.
