NO we dont trust the system will be effective as portrayed here. It will be an avenue for people to create loot and share monies. Even the existing institutions like the police has failed us. When u call them of an armed robbry attack they tell you there is no vehicle, likewise the road safety people will also tel you there is no towing cars available when you need their help.

This should be done by the private sector, not another institution to rip off Ghanaians. Police and DVLA should just tow broken down vehicles to impounds. This will force vehicle owners to move their cars as soon as they break down.There will be demand for towing vehicles and businesses will invest in towing services. Too much government bureaucracy in Ghana. They can't even put a rubbish collection system in place. Accra is the most filthiest Capital in the world.

These are the reasons why a lot of corruptions are in the system , because government want to be the owner of everything.
towing is not DVLA business,if government want it that way , it suppose to be an insurance branch of SIC under DVLA and well implemented .
The question of mandatory must be registered under the state insurance company.
if not under insurance policy then the owner of the vehicle may had the right to claim the money back if nothing happened to the vehicle throughout the year that had requested for a towing help.
mandatory paying in advance without under any insurance policy means money could be given back

The argument is if my vehicle does not ail along the road side or per chance l get to a way side mechanic shop on time to have it fix for me what is the rationale of paying an advance towing fee for?
Parliament can enact a law to empower regions for private people to go into the vehicle towing business which will create jobs. As usual Regions and Districts Administrations can collect their taxes from the towing fees to cushion their kitty. Who ever proposed this advance vehicle towing fee is a dickhead.

Great idea and very affordable, Ghana is developing slowly but surely and I love it.
Don't mind those who always try to assume that the US has a better system than Ghana, a lot of times they are lying, in New York, for example, when a car is towed, the owner has to pay $125 for illegal parking, another $85-$100- towing fee, plus additional charges for any outstanding violations, some towed cars can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to be retrieved.

So what on earth do road users benefit from all the many toll booth charges.
Even now, it takes hours to get in touch with the police during a robbery or after an accident.
This is just another avenue to siphon money from r ...

NO we dont trust the system will be effective as portrayed here. It will be an avenue for people to create loot and share monies. Even the existing institutions like the police has failed us. When u call them of an armed robb ...

Some cars never breakdown. This is serious cheating. So what happens when you pay for a service u don't enjoy. Isn't the insurance fraud in this country enough?
The sweetness of the pudding is in the eating. At least we have to try it to see if it works. And, if it doesn't we try something else, or make some amendments.
This should be done by the private sector, not another institution to rip off Ghanaians. Police and DVLA should just tow broken down vehicles to impounds. This will force vehicle owners to move their cars as soon as they brea ...

Imagine if my vehicle breaks down on a feeder road between Suhum and Adawso Akuapem in the night, are they telling us that the vehicle will be towed within two hours ?. Please save us from this extra financial obligation. Gh ...

Yes, drivers have gotten their share of the change, hope they will embrace it and not complain.
You will call them and the line will be kuukuu kuukuu
I dont trust anything from dvla
Long over due exercise.
The statement appears to be like the half-truth campaign of "free shs" that NPP used only to now start talking a lot of bullshit struggling to explain that campaign promise. Tell us. Will there be any towing fee????
Of course, you will be charged. Nobody works for free. I don't understand why some Ghanaians resist almost every change that would bring some betterment to the safety measures of the country. Towing of broken down vehicles ...

I'm sure people are not against the move. But their problem is its going to be managed by the ghanaian especially the public sector.

This does not make sense. Why add towing charges to road worthy registration? It is nonsense. If my car breaks down am supposed to look for a towing truck to assist in towing. In any case what the man said is they will tow yo ...

After just 30 days, are you joking? They only increase the charge in the same manner you get extra fine when you dont pay some other bills. Not sell the property. Even Police cant sell towed cars under any laws. Private compa ...

This is what is done in the US. The longer your car stays with the toying company, the bigger your bill gets. It serves as a deterrent to car owners. It's as simple as that .
Why some of you like comparing Ghana to USA in everything?We are talking about matter in Ghana and you are comparing it to that of the USA.
K....let me put it this way...within 30days you can pay and tow the car to your mechanic or your house...but you can't leave it at the private tow pound...no one has the time and energy to STORE you car for you on their compo ...

Hahahaha! This would definitely be another version of creating, sharing and chopping.
Ghana for you!
There should be a charge for SUV with 2.4cc to 3.5cc as against buses and others who pay 80 cedis a year. It will be cheating since most of these SUVs are new and never used on regular basis.
so are they going to buy plan for damage vehicles?? hmmm i gues that plan will be full and no space! but how secure is this system?? if my vehicle got damage den i had no money at that time will my vehicle be towed to DVLA of ...

This must not be encouraged. Just publish phone numbers of towing vehicles and their locations in the media. We shall deal with them at our own cost.
Just stop it .
WHO are those private companies that will partner DVLA etc? Plans to give secure revenue flows to sponsored companies to share with corrupt individuals and politicians
Towing insurance is very good. If drivers would buy it on voluntary terms,.no one would make it mandatory. But we are like goats, have to force the rope on our neck. So mandatory is the only way forward.
MENTAL CHANGE YES
It should rather be operated on pay as you call basis, drivers shouldn't be asked to pay upfront. With my experience in Ghana, the towing operators will go to sleep as soon as they collect the money upfront.
FUNDS NOT ANYONE'S POCKETS PERIOD

WHAT A JOKE! PAYING TOWING IN ADVANCE? PAYING FOR UNFIT VEHICLES? TOTAL STUPID IDEA. TOW VEHICLES AND MAKE THE PEOPLE PAY. NONSENSE!!
This is extortion grandiose. NPP promised to soften our financial but continue to overburdened us with hasher conditions. Can't believe it
How can you charge towing fee for motorcycle ?, l think the people just want to create revenue which would cater for some of the taxes that were removed , rubbing peter to pay Paul. Pure robbering
Ohhhhh NPP.
Is this not one of the replacement of the taxes that have been claimed to have been abolished????

THIS SHOULD BE THE WORK OF RESPECTIVE ASSURANCE/INSURANCE COMPANIES.

This is another means of extorting money from drivers

why should i pay for something i dont use??akofo addo,call your people to orther,this is just uncalled for,this man should go sleep on a pillow and come again.
This is pure robbery in the case of motorcycle paying Gh$10.
If a motorbike breaks down, does it require a towing vehicle to tow it?
Ama Ghana, This is how far we've reach.
Another sweet inactive from NPP.They are very innovative and goal sourcing government. GHANIANS will benefit from this initiative and more come. Ayeeeko Nanaoooo We Voltarians salute you ooooo
This is nonsense and a rip-off. The government in charge of this is a disaster. Money will be going to somebodies pocket.
Vehicle insurance company/agents are responsible to tow them ,as the towing price is included in the policy contract ,when a vehicle owner acquired insurance for the vehicle.In short it is a deal between the insurance compa ...

it will never help us.Is part of government plans to chop your money
It's a good initiative but my problem is you might be calling the numbers provided above and it will not go through or they tell you where you are is out of their jurisdiction or there is no petrol in the car
Unless the penalty for not being able to tow your vehicle within 2 hours is free towing fee for 5 years.
I wonder the sort of leaders we have in this country. This is nonsense at 1000%. Mismanagement as usual.
This is absolute senseless, why not make the vehicle available on the road and charge per call. That is if your vehicle break on the road within 5minutes registered toll car will take it to safe place for a fee. This will be ...
