According to him, mobile court has become one veritable tool that the corps uses to curtail the many anomalies on highways, with a view of reducing road traffic crashes.
''The most prevalent offences motorists were convicted for were overloading, use of worn-out tyres, vehicle licence violation, and driver's licence violation.
''Others were, use of cell phone while driving, seat belt violation and lack of caution signs,'' he explained.
