The Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department’s (MTTD) Monitoring and Surveillance Centre has impounded 31 vehicles for various traffic offences on the East Legon (Underbridge) road.
This was during a special exercise conducted in partnership with Citi FM/TV on Wednesday, 25 August 2021 at about 6:30 am.
The exercise forms part of the Police Administration’s resolve to clamp down on reckless and careless driving, the blatant disregard for road traffic regulations and to reduce deaths on the road.
During the exercise, 31 drivers, whose vehicles were impounded, were charged for flouting several road traffic regulations including disregard for road markings and dangerous driving.
Others were driving on the shoulders of the road, unauthorised use of sirens and beacon lights.
They are being processed for court at Adentan while their vehicles are impounded at the East Legon Police station.
