    DVLA & NRSA shd not back down to the demand of these Greedy drivers,they are senseless. Sprinter vans converted to Commercial buses have already killed a lot of Ghanaians why add Toyota Voxy?

    It's not the fault of the vehicle ,it's ratbag drivers speeding....that kill people.

    The car was not manufactured for that purpose. The fact that you can put sacks of maize on a picanto doesn't make it a cargo car.

    Anybody who did not read the whole story and decided to comment should be ashamed of him or herself. Ghana has a big problem. They are talking about steering being on the right instead of left and folks are talking about qual ...

    Would you bored a "pragyia" travelling from say Accra to Tamale?

    Clearly different vehicles are made for different purposes besides the driver issues being raised.

    Absolutely. Who are the regulators? Arrest anyone who is in breach of the directive. Simple as that. Authority is stronger than strength.

    A step in the right direction. They should also ban every PRAJIA from any city. They can operate at the village roads which have no conjections.

    Good move, NRSA.

    They now want NRSA to focus on driver behaviour.... as if commercial driving started in Ghana just yesterday.

    Another issue that must be tackled comprehensively and with utmost urgency is the problem o ...

    Who doesn't see the level of sustained recklessness the drivers of Toyota voxy display on our roads? Sometimes it appears the drivers are on suicide mission or have two lives.

    This is much ado about nothing. The vehicles are already here to stay. What needs to be done is allow it to be registered as "city-only" commercial vehicles with city number plates to augment the "trotro" and the ride-hailing ...

    How can a country that cannot even make donkey carts assess a vehicle from a technologically country like Japan? Just doing something to deserve their pay.

    It seems most people did not read the article and started jumping to conclusions. The ban has nothing to do with the quality of the car.
    Ghana roads are designed for cars with steers on the left side. This car in question s ...

    This is a childish decision. If NRSA has a problem with the vehicle the manufacturer needs to be contacted to fix the problem so that the vehicle can be used for commercial purposes. Why banning the vehicle?

    Another way of solving the issue: impose very high tariffs on right-hand-drive models say 500% relative to left-hand-drive models for the same engine capacity, kilometer stand and age.

    If you do that, people will stop impo ...

    The Developed world is what it is because the law works there.
    Car owners and drivers don't get to decide on such matters.
    Let anyone who contravene this directive face the full rigours of the law.

    The main concern is, they have tempered with the suspension so when speeding and you hit a pot hole there is no way you can control, automatically you will run in a ditch.
    Secondly, after tempering with the suspension the ba ...
