Police deny banning AirPods and earphones for drivers
The Ghana Police Service has debunked a viral social media flyer claiming the use of AirPods and earphones while driving is banned under L.I. 2519, urging the public to rely only on official channels.
The Ghana Police Service has rejected a viral flyer on social media which suggested that using AirPods, earphones, and other audio devices while driving or riding is illegal under Ghanaian law. A spokesperson clarified that the flyer was not an official statement and was not issued or authorized by the Police Service. Cybercrime Unit detectives are working to identify the source of the false publication, and the Police urge the public to ignore it.
However, they warn motorists, motorcyclists, and all road users against anything that could distract them, impair their hearing, control of their vehicle, or their awareness of surrounding traffic. The Service advises drivers to follow the Road Traffic Regulations (L.I. 2519) and other relevant road safety laws. They also urge the public to rely on official Police communication for accurate information on road traffic laws and regulations, and to work with authorities to enhance road safety and reduce accidents.
