<p>The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (<strong>LASTMA</strong>) has issued a stern warning to motorists, stating that eating, drinking, or smoking while driving could land the offender in jail.</p>
<p>LASTMA stated that these actions are punishable under the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.</p>
<p>This comes as the agency continues to push for safer roads in <strong>Lagos</strong> by discouraging distracted driving, which can lead to accidents and other traffic-related incidents.</p>
<p>In a post shared on its official X handle on Wednesday, April 9, LASTMA wrote:</p>
<p>“<em>Smoking, drinking, and eating while driving is an offence under the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law 2018.</em></p>
<p><em>Additional Penalty: </em><br /><em>Impound vehicle / Three (3) months imprisonment or six (6) months community service.”</em></p>
