Mad rush for 2018 car number plates in the Ashanti Region

Car owners are in a mad rush to register their vehicles and obtain the 2018 number plates at the Ashanti Regional Office of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) at Airport roundabout in Kumasi.

There has been a long queue of vehicles whose owners are waiting for their turn to register them. Authorities at DVLA have warned car owners to stay away from middlemen.

Some of the car owners speaking to Abusua FM’s Osei Kwadwo complained that though they had presented their documents a day before, they were yet to get their registration documents and numbers.

They however accused authorities at DVLA office of favouritism as they’re quick in serving car owners they know.

“Some of us came here around 4:30 am today but as we are talking now we haven’t gotten our registration numbers. We are urging them to speed up their work because we’ve come from very far places.

We will also take this opportunity to appeal to authorities at DVLA to allow we the car owners to pay our money for registration to any bank to help reduce the long queue” they said.
