TraffiTech-GH: Speeding tickets will not lead to automatic licence revocation of vehicle owners - ACP Obeng
He stressed that vehicle owners would instead be required to pay the applicable fines for each time they violated the law.
The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service has reported an improvement in driver behavior on Ghanaian roads since the introduction of the TraffiTech-GH system. Director of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, explained that motorists are now reducing their speed, thanks to increased electronic speeding tickets and the resulting communication between vehicle owners and drivers.
Obeng noted that drivers are increasingly being warned against speeding by their vehicle owners following notifications of traffic violations. He praised the system as an effective method for promoting road discipline and emphasized that it should remain in place. ACP Obeng clarified that under the current TraffiTech system, receiving speeding tickets does not automatically result in the revocation of a vehicle owner's driving license, as repeated speeding violations result in fines rather than license loss.
He further emphasized that the system is designed to encourage compliance with road traffic regulations and improve overall driving behavior.
