Ghana to introduce mobile phones driving ban

Ghana will soon introduce a law to ban the use of mobile phones whilst driving. The law will also enforce the wearing of seat belts by motorists.

This was disclosed by the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, ACP Daniel Avorga in an interview with radio Ghana in Accra.

ACP Avorga noted that driving and talking on the phone at the same time renders concentration very low.

He indicated that instances where a driver receives alarming text messages could lead to loss of control of the vehicle resulting in accidents.

The Greater Accra Regional Commander of the MTTU had a word of caution for road users.
