NRSC always talk but cannot move their words to the next level. It is the same unit which said the accelerator pedal of vehicles will have a lever put under it to control the speed at which vehicles travel in the wake of rampant accidents in the country.
The Ministry of Trade also hinted it will ban the use of second hand panties etc, but this counld not be implemented. We are tired of reading publications which units like NRSC come out with but cannot be implemented. Say things you are ready and capable of doing and stop this cheap propaganda.

For Ghana to be a 'fit' nation, our enforcement agencies need to sit up and enforce the existing laws. Having the companies responsible for the food we eat, ie restaurants, hotels, chop bars and the manufacturing companies, our sanitation problems etc are all the hallmark of a civilized society. We encourage our gov't agencies to avail itself thereby creating more jobs for the youth.

Question: You have your car, and your tires are getting old - you say, well it's time to go get some new "used tires". Then you're told you can only buy new IMPORTED tires in Ghana, so you keep your old worn out one... are Ghana's roads safer?????
New tires are always safer, but this idea is ill conceived. Instead of the NRSC improving roads, fixing potholes they do this. Instead of getting Ghana's own tire manufacturing going, they want to impose this so our import bill will keep going up. All the old vehicles with old tire will keep them longer and things will get worse over all.
CONGRATULATIONS GHANA ON YET ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.
Just for those who don't know, even in the developed world, USA, etc, you can use old tire, but there are requirements on maintaining the tread, vehicle must be roadworthy, etc.

1. Regulate used tire sellers so they only sell tires fit for the road - ones less likely to fail catastrophically
2. Put new road worthiness requirements for vehicles and tires - the level of tread, the lifetime of a tire (years) before it has to be replaced, regular vehicle maintenance requirement, etc - have police checkpoints verify these, so that the bribes they collect there can actually do something useful
All this ban will do right now is cause us to import more, and make people with old tires keep them even longer since new tires are more expensive -by doing so, these people will actually make the roads even more unsafe which is what the ban tried to prevent in the first place

Much as I agree with the suggestion, I think that, it is very important that the prices of new tyres are equally the same as the used ones; it is then that interest of the buyers will turn to buying new ones. Of course some used tyres are very good than new ones. I have ever use a new tyre the third day it had a puncture and every day mending it. The decision should be put in to a rush.

These are mine
1 THE GPRTU should have competent team of auto expert at evey major lorry park to check every commercial vehicle taking off.this when done should have a special sticker from VELD
2there should be a mobile patrol team
on the road to inspect all comercial
vehicle intermitently
3 no sales of alcohol at all public stations
4 all the road signs must be adher to by the drivers
5 drivers must be forced to obey the speed limit
6 at every 2hrs drive the drive must stop for 15minutes coffee or cocoa drink this done in the country i live
to ease tension and stress
7finally government sould sofften the tax on brandnew importation of tyres
since theres no factory here in ghana

80% of private car owners cannot afford new set of tyres almost every year or 2 years. Though the idea looks good, it will create severe hardship for especially private car owners.

SSS Economics says for certain things, when the price goes up, demand goes down. Ban sale of used tires and the price of tires(in general) goes up since only new ones are available and they are more expensive. If people don't buy replacement tires, then they keep using their old ones for longer. If they use those old tires longer, then you get the same problem you were trying to solve is actually getting worse - vehicles on the road are more likely to be using their old tires than getting replacement.
It is a good idea in theory, but like most things in Ghana, it is being done implemented in a lazy way. I almost believe it is Firestone tire company in America that has paid the NRSC some money to have this ban so they can increase their exports to Ghana.
We should instead have checkpoints setup to make sure vehicles on the road are using good tires - if you car has no tread, then you are given a small fine. Allow people to keep buying used tires, but if they don't replace those, when they get worn, they'll get the fine too. Used tires will wear out quicker, so more people will decide to buy new tires. No one will buy a tire that is worn out completely to begin with, and there you go... the problem you're trying to fix is solved

What we notice is that when this bann will be in place the tyres will just be send to surrounding countries around Ghana and then from those countries they will import it into Ghana. Look at Nigeria, same thing first they implent the import ban but now all tyres go to Coutenou and from there they get shipped into Ghana,
if you need a good adress in Holland for your quality used tyres check out Limado in Eindhoven.
