Five drivers arrested on Accra-Kumasi Highway for reckless driving

The joint efforts of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) and the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service have led to the apprehension of five drivers at Bunso Junction along the Accra-Kumasi Highway.

.

The NRSA indicated that about 60 percent of road crashes are a result of overspeeding, and so the exercise aimed at promoting safer driving habits, particularly as the Easter festival approaches.

.

She urged drivers to adhere to speed limits.

.

She also stressed the need for drivers to possess valid licenses and ensure that their vehicles are properly registered and insured, citing instances where non-compliance with these regulations could lead to dire consequences in the event of an accident.

“We have seen that a lot of the drivers do not have their licenses and most of the vehicles do not have insurance

Some of the Pragia are not even registered and do not have insurance, so you can imagine you pick such a Pragia and something happens

And so we will urge all drivers to drive around with their license because it is what makes you a professional.”
