Stop bullying motorcycle riders – MTTD cautions drivers
The Tema Regional Command of the Motor Transport and Traffic Department (MTTD) has reminded the driving public that motorbike riders have equal rights to using roads.
Sergeant Richard Timinka representing Chief Superintendent William Asante, Tema Regional MTTD Commander, stated at a road safety campaign that all vehicular drivers should desist from bullying and harassing motorbike riders on the road.
He noted that research showed that even though riders were not disciplined and failed to obey traffic regulations and other forms of road safety, vehicles were knocking down riders and killing them at an alarming rate, “as some drivers fail to tolerate riders as legal road users and often want to push them off-the-road resulting in fatalities”.
