So why make the law if it cant be implemented. So we choose which laws want to obey. Democracy and Rule of Law indeed.

If basic education requirement is discrimination against drivers, why don't you raise same argument when people are being recruited to civil service. This law doesn't apply to drivers already in the system but the will-be drivers. people should take education serious because time will come when you can't do anything without education.

The government should use the next three month to educate or sensitize these drivers, and then implement this great policy. It is after all good for the nation. It will save lives and the national economy.

It is in the interest of the drivers and the passengers to wear seat belts but it is nonsense and foolish to say drivers should attain certain level of education before acquiring licenses and what the MP said does not make sense to even a child,saying only the old drivers but forget that the old ones too will have to renew their licenses which the DVLA is saying they will have to take a test before getting their licenses.

That law is bogus in Ghana,we cannot continue to follow the west blindly,these drivers can be educated practically on the road signs which one can hardly seen in the country anyway.
It is not a written test that will make them good drivers but the education or the training.
Much of the problems on our roads in the cities and towns are the motor riders who police always look on while they disregard traffic rules making it dangerous for other drivers,trotro drivers stop at traffic lights and don't cross other vehicles at where a driver signals to turn as motorbike riders do.
On the highways it is true that many are careless on the roads but a lot are also careful but the most reckless drivers on the highways are the government officials with a larger part being the MPs and their drivers who have no regard for the traffic rules,don't know speed limits and think their SUVS are airplanes.
How can government officials in a convoy be driving way above the speed limit and expect other citizens to drive within the speed limit,do we have different laws for Ghanaians while we have different law for the president and other government officials,is it not dangerous to be driving the president and other officials way over the speed limit through towns without respect for other road users,where is it written in this world that they drive presidents and other officials at top speeds way above the speed limit,is that what we call security in Ghana,who is chasing them?
The most reckless drivers in Ghana are not the so called illiterate trotro drivers but the so called educated ones driving their private cars who will like their girlfriends to see how fast they can drive passing everybody without knowing the cars are machines that can develop faults anytime.

Leave the poor drivers alone with that school nonsense,people who go to school are not ready to drive trotro.
Are we going to say the mechanics or fitters as they are known in Ghana who are also largely not having formal education cannot work on the cars?

Dear James, in Ghana, driving permit or license is not collected free or not for sale. one has to pass driving test ( theory and practical ) before issuing the license. So where is the problem, should I have to produce my university degree before allowing to take the test? What DVLA can do is to restructure the test/exams and make it known to general public, in order to produce professional drivers.

now the stakeholders must go back to the drawing board and modify those laws.ghana is struggling to develope so in such a national situations we make integrational Transition laws to make those already in the System and had been protected by law face out with natural time.

The government must as a matter of urgent start orienting all the Major roads at least 4lanes to minimise the preventable accidents. that is how we build a Nation.
eg. in Kumasi suame roundabout to breman, or suame roundabout to pankrono;:- you can build four lanes and dedicate a yellow lane at each directions to Commercial vehicles to ease the traffic jam.
if you dont do this it will become unusable in the next few years to come . you can try to use Police force but it wont help the situation
The human resources capacity in the Country live Substandard so when there is a directives please make sure you make Detail specifications that alone will prevent those officer with bad intentions to abuse the law

DVLA is clueless. This regulation doesn't make sense...what is used on the roads are SIGNS and not sentences. DVLA aleady had driving driving test in place so how are these drivers passing the test in the first place if they can't read? DVLA take bribes and issue licenses then come back to make noise. Secondly seat belts are needed for passengers riding at the back of vehicles, seat belts are required for passengers riding in front seats only. What DVLA needs is to tighten the loop holes where bribes are paid for people to get licenses.

Indeed our policy makers have a lot to learn themselves. In the Uk most policies or public informations are in languages like Punjabi, Gugurati, Somali, Romania and a whole lot of others. The policy makers in Uk are human beings as our MPs. We need to translate the road regulations to our various languages if that will educate our drivers and bring sanity on our road. The mobility buses in London don't have seat belts, how come they don't record high levels of accidents. Our systems have issues.

Nii, many of these Ghanaian drivers cannot read the local Twi, Hausa, Ga, Fanti, or any other language if they didi not attend school; isn't it the fact? So, printing signs in these languages will make no difference!

This law prohibiting drivers of low educational background not to drive is bogus if not senseless. As a police officer with the traffic police, I have observed, over the years, that most of the drivers who neglect traffic signs in Ghana are literates: Lawyers, teachers,bankers, doctors,policemen, soldiers even ministers of state. When arrested, they only plead or call the powers that be and who are you to say no to the plea of your boss, and they go scot free. Does it mean they cannot read and understand the road signs ? Self Discipline is what we need. One day I asked a colleague policeman who neglected the speed limit and drove 100kph if he had not seen the 50kph sign. His answer was: "Join the vehicle of the one who erected the sign post and you will see whether the signs work or not" Is it not funny ?

There should be no negotiations whatsoever with vehicles that are not roadworthy. My friend, brother, sister or doctor could easily be killed by a messed up vehicle that is not roadworthy.
