okay;it seems to me;you are stucked in USA for long and you had never gone to Ghana for years:The highway speed in Ghana varies from different city to another;i.e..the highway speed from Tech to konongo is different from the highway speed from konongo to Inkawkaw..it depends the condition of the road but the whole thing is, Ghana has the highway rules the same as north AMERICAN HIGHWAYS..I mean Canada or USA roads..but regardless how the road and the speed limits,Ghanaians,if he's intellectual or an ordinary.they have no idea how to say "Hello" slow down or pls stop ..they can sit mute and lead to their dealth..not only that;Ghanaians are soo ignorant about the value of life..whoever being to Ghana will proof me right..i had uncomfortable experienced three years ago with O.A..driver(a known transportation company in Ghana)who almost crashed the bus with almost fifty-six passengers in the bus, and if I did not shout or yelled to the driver;he could have killed aal of us..even with my action;some passengers were pissed at me .or mad at me; CONSTRUCTION zone;a traffic controller being a young guy signalled our bus not to proceed but detour and the drive being seen him;(on my understanding) as a smallish refused and proceed but I kept shouting at the drive;what we observed ahead of the road was cut ten feet deep below;then he had to take half an hour making u-turned..so, my point here is that inspite of all the road signs on the road in ghana,mostly, Ghanaian drivers disregard it either they do not understand of the road signs because they did not attend formal driven school training before securing their driver lincenses..or they disobey the road signs;Back to the NUAMAH'S killer,who is to be blamed..?the press corp..period !, or the deadman himself,probably not wearing seat belt.It is my hope that the media in Ghana use this as a lesson and start road safety campaign as the 2016 election looming..For the detail of the accident;Ghana media is still far from good reporting

Your uncle said "All die be die". So why are you and Akufo-Addo acting like you care? The two of you have proven that all die no be the same die. I think both of you are confused.

Dr Okoampa-Ahoofe, surely, road accidents do occur at low limits of even 20mph. However, posted speed limits with rigid enforcement [ installed speed cameras and police patrols] may help reduce some of the fatal road accidents in Ghana. When drivers know they are likely to be prosecuted, fined or lose their driving licence they would drive cautiously and responsibly.
With regard to the fatal road accident which killed Mr Samuel Nuamah, I'm sure the witness statements by journalists on board that vehicle could shed more light on the cause(s) of that accident.
Generally, over-speeding is one of the major causes of road accidents in Ghana. Most commercial drivers often drive recklessly and when they lose control the inevitable happens. Most of the drivers often indulge in drink-driving. I think it is time for the Ghana Police to consider roadside breath test at the scene of such incidents to see if the driver was over the legal alcohol limit.
Again, some of the commercial vehicles and private cars in Ghana are not road worthy. Most of these commercial vehicles have dodgy brakes, defective body panels, and worn out tyres. For how long are we going to patronise such vehicles? And of course, with our bad roads- potholes and lack of awareness of road safety signs and poor driving skills, such fatal incidents would happen from time to time.
