Chief inspector of the MTTD Bukari Seidu has cautioned drivers to regularly check their vehicles for faults before hitting the road. According to him, components on the vehicle like the brake lights should be checked to ensure it is properly functioning to avoid accidents.

“Every component of the car needs to always be checked to ensure it functions. Once any of the components of the car is not functioning, it affects the vehicle and makes it not road worthy. When you go for a road certificate at the DVLA, they will ask you to go and fix the fault before you are issued with the certificate”. He further explained the laws and punishments for defaulters adding that they can be fined or imprisoned.

“Many of us do not know that there is a fine attached to it. If you go to the LI section 63 (8), that is where the fine is. Normally, it is twenty five penalty units or thirty days imprisonment if you are taken to court. One penalty unit is twelve cedis, multiplied by the twenty five”.

DVLA, is the mandated institution to ensure that vehicles on our roads are road worthy but it seems the cars that are not road worthy are many on our roads.

Speaking to senior technical engineer of the DVLA Asafo K. Robert, he explained that it is the responsibility of drivers to check their vehicles before they move.

“Unfortunately for us most drivers check their brake lights once in a year and you know these gadgets can fail at any time so it is the responsibility of drivers to to check their brake lights every morning before they move the car”
