The Unit Commander for Airport Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), DSP Frederick Oko, has stressed that the majority of accidents result from human errors.
He stated that accidents occurring during the Christmas season are not the result of witches or Satan, as many believe, and added that human negligence is the primary cause of these incidents.
According to him, the number of accidents during Christmas could be diminished if drivers exercised greater caution on the roads.
“These surges in accidents are not caused by Satan; most of them are human errors. Other factors, including mechanical faults, may cause problems, but most of the accidents are human errors,” DSP Oko noted in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on Kumasi-based OTEC FM.
He added that, “So what we are saying is that, if motorists are to check their errors, Ghana as a country could reduce accident numbers”.
He further appealed to drivers to refrain from overspeeding, wrongful overtaking, overloading, and other mistakes that could result in serious accidents.
