Can’t checking of vehicle particulars be digitalised?

SIR: It is completely hectic to drive on Nigerian roads and only the Almighty God himself understands how motorists are able to cope. It is impossible for any of them to be in a hurry, not even in emergencies because there are different sets of officers hanging around different corners who must demand for vehicle particulars.

In fact, the way and manner this goes on is completely time-wasting and annoying. The world has since moved from such rash and primitive styles of holding motorists down since it is possible to create an app for all vehicles and compute into the gadgets of all officers checking particulars so that at the touch of a button, they can verify the status of each vehicle and there would not be any need to stop any vehicle whose owner has fulfilled all righteousness.

It is completely unacceptable and Nigeria’s vehicle particular authority should devise a pragmatic way of checking vehicle particulars in such a manner that can save all the time wasted on the road because of ceaseless stopping for it.
