Court Bars Driver From Driving For 12 Months

-

A driver, Alhassan Sani, has been barred by the Hohoe Magistrate’s Court from using the road until July 5, 2025.
Sani was convicted on a plea of guilty to the charges of failing to comply with traffic signs, driving without a license, using a vehicle without insurance, and lacking a road use certificate.

In addition to being prohibited from driving for a year, he was fined GH₵1,800 by the court, presided over by Madam Comfort A. Apalayine. Chief Inspector Charles Aziati, prosecuting, told the court that although the convict was not previously known, his disregard for road regulations was concerning, hence the sentencing to serve as a deterrent.

He said that on July 1, 2024, at about 0605 hours, personnel from the Volta North Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service were on duty at the Hohoe main market traffic light managing traffic when they spotted Sani. Chief Inspector Aziati said the convict was driving a Nissan Almera taxicab with registration number GW 2174-13, emerging from the post office direction. Upon reaching the traffic light, he jumped the red light and was arrested.

During interrogation, it was found that Sani did not have a driving license, and the vehicle did not have insurance or a road use certificate.
