    Good policy but poor implementation
    Just a money making scheme
    No road signs and markings around country
    Poor road networks
    Instruments need to be calibrated daily Does it take place
    Good policy but much work needed

    The drivers shouldn't worry. Lack of maintenance alone will collapse the policy in less than a few years. The drivers unions should also organize educational programs on road signs. How can a commercial driver see a road sign ...

    Why do we prefer to live with lawlessness? We have rules and law but we don’t want them applied or obeyed for a peaceful and orderly society. How can we progress in chaos, noise or filth?

    How useful has been the GPRTU to our development since the 80s when they were weaponised by PNDC? This single block has been the main hindrance to all attempts at modernisation of our transport sector.

    They are making a good point here but I do not agree with the drivers to withdraw their services.

    Accidents kill more than any disease in Ghana if I'm not mistaken. I respectfully think the focus shouldn't be on the revenue generation aspect but the health and safety aspect.
