DVLA to intensify daily vehicle safety enforcement in Ghana
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) in Ghana is set to intensify road enforcement operations starting next week. CEO Julius Neequaye Kotey announced that compliance officers will transition from a two-day schedule to daily road presence to remove unroadworthy vehicles from circulation.
Enforcement checks will focus on critical safety components, including tyre condition, brake pads, and vehicle window tints. The authority also intends to use technology to identify vehicles that have evaded customs duties or are operating with cloned identities.
In recent efforts, the DVLA has already seized approximately 200 cloned vehicles within a month and a half. This was achieved through the deployment of new detection technology, such as OBD-II scanners, which allows officials to verify Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) and chassis numbers directly with manufacturers to prevent fraudulent registrations.
