Bring these drivers to orde
Dear Editor
Permit me to lodge this complain via your medium to the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority (GHAPOHA) and by extension the Ghana Police Service of a dangerous behaviour of a GHAPOHA driver of bus number GW 9523-24 and a commercial commuter (trotro) with GW 6260-25 tag of their inpatient and dangerous driving on the narrow road between Mampong and Aburi last Saturday (June 28) between the hours of 6pm-6.45pm.
The day happened to be the visiting day for the Mamfe Methodist Girls School, a food bazaar at Mampong plus the numerous funerals spread along the Akuapem stretch towards Accra. Traffic was at its donkey pace and steady.
But these two drivers among some others decided to throw safety and caution to the wind and decided to overtake long line of vehicles on those narrow single lanes of the Akuapem –Accra road on top speed.
On-coming vehicles either have to go off the road or risk a head-on collision. In one instant they created a three lane side-by-side drive in one direction.
Attention of the Police is being called to curb or avert the possibility of a preventable death, injury or destruction of properties along the this stretch of the road which is fast becoming the route of choice for commuters to Kumasi, Nsawam and Somanya in a bid to avoid the bad Amasaman –Nsawam road on one hand and Adenta –Dodowa road.
