The Ashanti regional police command is set to launch ‘operation produce your driver’s licence’ as part of measures to ensure adherence to road traffic regulations.
The exercise has been scheduled to start on Monday, February 3, 2020, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the police said in a statement.
The operation will see police officers on traffic duties asking drivers in the region to show their licenses when they stop them.
“Every driver of any type of vehicle is advised to carry his/her driver’s licence while driving on the road,” the statement admonished.
The police said the move is aimed at ensuring a “vigorous enforcement” of Regulation 47 of the Road Traffic Regulation, warning drivers that the failure to produce their licences “will lead to the arrest of defaulting drivers and possible prosecution.”
Fatalities on the Ghana’s roads have come to the fore of public discourse again following the death of 34 persons in an accident that happened at 12:15 am Tuesday, on the Cape Coast-Takoradi Highway.
