The Police have arrested a senior police officer, Inspector Entwie Bio for reckless and inconsiderate driving.
The officer was arrested on Monday, November 7, after he was seen driving in the middle of the road around the airport area in his Toyota Rav 4 vehicle with registration number GT- 8084.
He has been charged to appear in court to be put through the due process of the law.
The incident comes on the back of the arrest and conviction of Madina lawmaker Francis Sosu for a similar offense.
The vehicle was impounded by the Police, and he was arraigned before the La District Court on November 4, 2022, on the charges of reckless and inconsiderate driving, driving in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic, and causing danger to other road users.
A statement from the Police said he was convicted by the court and fined an amount of GH¢2,400.
The court further directed him to remove the front beacon lights which had been unlawfully fitted on his vehicle.
According to the police, the MP subsequently paid the fine and removed the unlawfully installed lights before the vehicle was released to him.
Meanwhile, the Police Administration has mounted a nationwide operation to arrest and prosecute all vehicles that violate road traffic regulations in the country.
According to the police service, the move has become key because of the indiscriminate use of sirens and horns in various routines in the country.
The police administration says it is determined to deal with motorists by hook or crook, especially V8 drivers who infringe on road traffic regulations in Ghana especially the use of sirens on highways.
The police say they would without “fear or favor” arrest and arraign any offender to face the law in a competent court of jurisdiction.
The general public is reminded to respect all road traffic rules.
