Recommendations * Ghana - Cargo drivers cautioned…to promote decency on the road
Accra,Ghana -The Ghanaian Chronicle, by Charity Addo & Michael Addo -4 Jun 2008: -- The Commanding Officer of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), Daniel Julius Awuga, has cautioned the National Cargo Transport Union (NCTU), to exercise extra vigilance when carrying out operations, especially, within the capital city, Accra... He made this concern after careful analyses of the numerous recorded road accidents and misconducts, on the part of drivers... According to him, their activities posed a threat to human lives, since most of the drivers go contrary to the laws and regulations of the union... He observed that cargo drivers do not take note of road signs, but rather they take the law into their own hands, and carelessly misconduct themselves on the roads... He attributed some road accidents, to the use of imported trucks and home-used tyres (secondhand), which are being imported into the country... He said such trucks and tyres do not suit the climate of the country, and in turn pose a danger to the lives of humans... The commanding officer commented on some situations where some of the drivers over load their tracks above five (5) metres of built overpass. He further stated that drivers sometimes overloaded their trucks, so as to meet their expected sales for the day, which was also in contravention of traffic regulations...
