The car was not manufactured for that purpose. The fact that you can put sacks of maize on a picanto doesn't make it a cargo car.

Absolutely. Who are the regulators? Arrest anyone who is in breach of the directive. Simple as that. Authority is stronger than strength.

Good move, NRSA.

They now want NRSA to focus on driver behaviour.... as if commercial driving started in Ghana just yesterday.

Another issue that must be tackled comprehensively and with utmost urgency is the problem of broken down vehicles being parked on roads and without proper warning. And this can be done without any special tax or levy, as corrupt Akufo Addo/Bawumia, Thief Ken and co wanted to do.

NRSA if this decision taken is serve right God will bless you and your families because these transport operators and their family depends on it so they should kill other families bread winners. Even if positive importation of such vehicles should be banned also. Talking about road safety education how else do they want it to be done again do they even listen when passengers are seeing danger and they them the only thing they do is to insult that's all. So DVLA, CUSTOMS and NRSA take the said decision on 08/04/2026 seriously to save more rather than few. Thanks

This is much ado about nothing. The vehicles are already here to stay. What needs to be done is allow it to be registered as "city-only" commercial vehicles with city number plates to augment the "trotro" and the ride-hailing car services such as uber, bolt, shanxi, etc. This will create option for certain category of commuters in the cities, especially the working class. There should be NO intercity for such vehicles to avoid it being driven for longer kilometres. This should solve the problem.

It seems most people did not read the article and started jumping to conclusions. The ban has nothing to do with the quality of the car.
Ghana roads are designed for cars with steers on the left side. This car in question steer is on the right. Driving cars with steers on the right in Ghana is very difficult and dangerous. Just making a turn can cause an accident because of the sitting position of the driver.

Why should authorities allow this risk on its citizens(passengers). The ban in my opinion is in order. Ghanaian lives matters

Furthermore, the bullshit is only coming from an organization,that is linked to car dealers that can't sell their cars in Ghana at similar prices from Dubai.
And it's only an opinion WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE OR PROOF OF FAULT....ITS JUST HERESAY.....BULLSHIT

Apparently, there#s something wrong. Either it is designed for inner city use or not to carry too many passengers.

I don't know which, but something is not proper there.

I visited the Kumasi DVLA a couple of years ago and saw a group of young men sitting together under a shade a listening to an instructor led lecture on road signs. Though recommendable, it was a pathetic scene to watch how these same would be commercial drivers approached ‘goro boys’ to fast track their applications to obtain their licenses. Now, let’s hold brief on the bad road situation, if you notice the impatience and reckless driving on our roads, especially the intercity trunk roads, you only have to blame the drivers and no one else. Some of these drivers do not have a sound analytical sense to even calculate the risks they take when overtaking or speeding.

Soldiers and police should be deployed to the road. Any such vehicle seen carrying passengers on a long journey should either be seized or burned on the spot. The laws must be respected. I have seen these vehicles carry loads of goods like they were designed to carry loads.
As for the recklessness of the drivers, the least said about it the better. They do random over taking, they don't respect traffic regulations and they respect no any other road user. Those stupid drivers nees to be disciplined by the police. Some of them are in cohort with the police so they misbehave on the road and nothing happens to them.

Other African countries that use voxy do not use it for long journeys. In China is not use for long journeys.
The brake system becomes less effective after 130km on speedometer.
More voxy cars will get accidents due to these errors on the car system.

Importàtion of right hand-drive vehicles into Ghana is banned and therefore illegal,when was the ban lifted? If the ban is not lifted how did they come to Ghana? The Minister of Transport should be asking these questions and demanding answers by noŵ with a view to institute corrective measures,the raising of these vehicles was the same thing done to MB207 vehicles together with poorly constructed seats that took thousands of lives, Toyota Since,Nissan Urvan,VW LT all came to massacre with MoT,NRSA,DVLA etc all looking on while drawing their monthly salaries and allowances and attending foreign courses.

Right hand driven cars have been imported since vehicles came to Ghana. Before August 1974 , when we were driving on the left,it was rather left hand vehicles which were the odd ones out. I remember driving a left hand drive Opel record with the warning printed on the back of the car ' caution,left hand vehicle'. I can't remember when a ban on right hand vehicles was imposed, but I know that most vehicles imported from UK,Japan, South Africa etc were brought in right handed and taken to Kumasi for the change over. Once mechanics mastered the technique, it is done all over the country. Most Toyota vitz cars were imported right handed,with the exception of the Yaris model. So if the argument is that they were imported right handed,then so many cars on our roads are not fit for purpose.
