Citi News<\/strong> however, the chairman of the Association Charles Mensah said the DVLA is gradually kicking them out of business, hence their decision to protest.\u201d<\/p>\nHe complained saying, \u201cthey [DVLA] are worrying us with the new biometric road worthy sticker, our license and the seat belts that should be put in all trotro seats.\u201d<\/p>\n
He indicated that their strike is aimed at forcing the DVLA to abolish all the new rules and regulations they have introduced.<\/p>\n
Mr. Mensah was of the view that forcing drivers to fix seat belts in their vehicles will not end road crashes and deaths.<\/p>\n
He argued that if the roads are fixed and the power crisis is resolved, the road accidents and its associated deaths will drastically reduce.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our roads are not good; it is not the seatbelt which is killing Ghanaians, it is not the drivers who are killing Ghanaians, it is the bad roads we are working on. Nowadays, they are not potholes; they are manholes that we are working on,\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraffic lights are not working; visibility is poor due to the dumsor which is going on. All these are the atrocities we are going through so we will strike,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
