Put Codes on DVLA Strikers
Julius Tei-Mensah Gbenartey
In recent times, the frequency and fatality of road accidents on
our roads is very disturbing. The accidents have claimed several
lives and rendered most victims maimed for life.
One cannot dispute the fact that most of these accidents could
be directly attributed to the bad state of most of these
vehicles on the streets. I get stunned when i see the physical
state of some buses on our streets with valid road worthiness
striker from the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Authority (DVLA)
pasted on their cracked windscreens.
This is an endorsement of a "death trap as fit and worthy to
convey Ghanaians on our streets. The question is: do the
examination officers at the DVLA really see and examine such
vehicles before issuing the road worthiness stickers? To stop
this phenomenon, certain drastic measures should be put in
place.
There should be a provision for examination officers who issued
those stickers to write their identity numbers. In that
direction, all the examination officers should be issue with
identity codes and this will imply that any vehicle with a road
worthiness stickers could be traced to the officer from the DVLA
who issued it with the said road worthiness sticker.
This will even go a long way to check fake road worthiness
stickers also, if there are any. I think this exercise will go a
long way to help check the examination officers of the DVLA who
issued road worthiness stickers to vehicles that are not road
worthy. Let us fiht against accidents on our roads.
