ROAD TRAFFIC INCIDENTS – NIGERIA
In Nigeria, distracted driving and driving under the influence of any substance has become a significant contributor to road traffic incidents that result to serious injuries, fatality, and damage to property. Our decision to introduce Alcolock V3LE system is to provide the public and private sector with a solution to prohibit and deter drivers from operating any vehicle under the influence of substances like drugs and alcohol which can impair a driver’s ability to operate the vehicle safely.
The Federal Road Safety Commission of Nigeria stated that 90 percent of road traffic incidents are caused by the consumption of alcohol and hard drugs among commercial and private drivers. The consumption of alcohol by commercial and workplace drivers is usually done on the job. The impairment of alcohol and drugs can last for an extended period.
There are legislations such as The Federal Highways Traffic Act, Federal Road Safety Commission Act and Nigerian Highway Code, which contain mandates that prohibit the operation of any vehicle under the influence of any alcohol and substance. Unfortunately, these legislations are not complied with by drivers, thus the high number of road traffic incidents associated with impaired driving.

Driving is important for the delivery of goods and services. Organizations that employ a person to operate any mobile vehicle to deliver services should consider the vehicle a workplace and the act of driving as work. The safety of occupants of the vehicle and other road users should be paramount and consistent.
WHY ALCOLOCK
- Creates and promotes safer roads for everyone
- Prevents loss and damage to lives and property
- Prevents drivers from operating a vehicle if impaired
- Supports compliance with road and highway legislative requirements
The development and design of Alcolock V3LE compiles with different international design and quality standards. This product serves as a control measure and deterrent to prevent any vehicle from being operational if the driver of the vehicle is under the influence of alcohol and other prohibited substances like drugs.
It is particularly important that the driver of a vehicle does not allow another person to blow into the IID if they have consumed any alcohol that exceeds the legal programmed limit. The primary focus of the IID is to prevent the operation of the vehicle if the driver has consumed any alcohol or prohibited substances that can impair their ability to drive safely. The technology used for IID’s are advanced and can easily detect if another person provides a breath sample into the device. Asking someone else to blow on the driver’s behalf is a failure and non-compliance subject to enforcement protocols.
There maybe situations where drivers required to operate a vehicle with an IID may not be able to provide multiple breath samples due to a medical condition that can affect their ability to blow for the duration required to provide a sample. In such situation a qualified medical professional will determine and recommend that such driver be exempt from the program.
The repair and maintenance of a vehicle with an IID is a unique situation that requires the attention of the Alcolock technician. However, the repair technician can disengage the battery in the vehicle which will disengage the IID. Having to start the vehicle multiple times during maintenance may come with some challenges since it requires the driver for whom the device was calibrated to provide the breath sample for the car to start.
