45 Siren Abusers Fined Gh¢25k

A total of 45 drivers have been fined Gh¢25,710 by the Accra Motor Courts for abusing the use of siren in the Accra Metropolis.

The exercise was conducted by the Central Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (C/MTTU) Special Taskforce on private vehicles which have been fitted with unauthorized sirens.

A statement signed by the Director General in charge of Public Affairs ACP David Eklu said, ‘This exercise is ongoing to bring sanity to the roads and drivers are being cautioned to desist from such negative acts as culprits would be arrested and prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others’.

The statement added, ‘The drivers were arrested misusing siren and hazard lights to beat traffic with some driving on the opposite direction of the roads, posing danger to other road users. They were arrested at Airport Aviation, Spintex, Pokuase, Amasaman and Accra Central between 1st and 19th January this year’.

The Legislative Instrument (LI) 2180 of the Road Traffic Regulation 74 (2) states that “a person shall not fit on a motor vehicle warning appliance other than the type approved by the Licensing Authority.

“Any person who contravenes the regulation is liable to a fine of not more than 25 penalty units or to a term of imprisonment of not more than thirty days or both.”
