The Ghana Police Service has rejected a social media flyer claiming that motorists and motorcyclists are banned by law from using AirPods, earphones, and other audio devices while driving or riding. The police stated that the flyer did not originate from them and had not been approved or issued by their agency.

They warned road users to stay alert and avoid any activities that could distract them, impair their hearing, affect their control of the vehicle, or reduce their awareness of surrounding traffic. The police urged all road users to follow the Road Traffic Regulations of 2026 (L.I. 2519) and other relevant traffic laws to minimize road accidents and safeguard lives.
