AMA reminds drivers of yellow-plated vehicles to obtain commercial driver’s licences from Assembly

Head of Public Affairs at the AMA, Mr Gilbert Nii Ankrah, said the reminder had become necessary due to persistent misunderstandings among motorists and enforcement personnel over the distinction between a commercial driver’s licence and a vehicle sticker.

According to him, drivers of commercially registered vehicles, identified by their yellow registration plates, are required to obtain the AMA commercial driver’s licence in addition to the appropriate driving licence issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).

Mr Ankrah explained that the commercial driver’s licence is issued as a card and costs GH¢60 for new applicants, while annual renewal costs GH¢23.
