Driver Arrested

A DRIVER with an expired temporary registration number from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) was arrested by the police at Kaneshie on Tuesday.
The driver, Mr Jonathan Mensah told the Daily Graphic that, he went for the car from the fitting shop which was being tested.
Officials from the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) of the Police Service, explained that the driver was driving without a licence and also with an expired (DVLA-2008) trade plate DVLA-2052.
According to the police, imported vehicles with temporary registration numbers were supposed to be renewed yearly under DVLA regulations and the driver should have renewed the trade plate before using the vehicle.
They said the driver should have had an itinerary which should have indicated his schedules, adding that most accidents occurred in the metropolis due to reckless driving of drivers with expired number plates.
The police, therefore, advised the general public to be on the look out for drivers who ply the route with expired number plates and report them immediately to the appropriate authorities and also refrain from doing business with such drivers.
