He said, though the country’s laws frown on their operation, law enforcing agencies are adamant in arresting offenders, alleging, those cycles do not have registration numbers on thus making it difficult to trace their whereabouts in case of accident.

Mr. Felix Ansu-Gyeabour also noted with concern causal agent of accident blaming majority on human error.

He added, maintenance of vehicle must remain priority to vehicle users.

The regional chairman further admonished car owners not to force their drivers to work when they are in the known of faults as it may lead to accident and loss of lives.
