Part III, Schedule 1, Item 27 of the Lagos State Road Traffic Law and Regulations 2018 prohibits driving in a direction or neglecting lawful traffic directions, an offence punishable upon conviction with one year imprisonment and forfeiture of the vehicle to the State Government.
While this piece of legislation is intended to deter traffic offenders, in my opinion, it's too draconian.
What about 3 months improvement or a fine of 500k?
Laws are to reform, not to obliterate offenders.
