Your broken-down car can be towed and auctioned under Ghana’s new road rules - here's what drivers must do

Under Ghana’s new road traffic rules, a vehicle that breaks down on the road should be towed immediately or the road safety authorities will tow the vehicle immediately, with the owner paying the cost.

Where a motorist fails to take the required steps and the vehicle remains a danger on the road, the NRSA or Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) can have it towed and charge the cost to the owner.

Ghana’s new road traffic rules require vehicle owners to have towing cover and act immediately after a breakdown.
