The Vehicle and Assets Dealers Union of Ghana (VADUG) says it has given the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) up to Wednesday, January 13, 2021, to issue new Defective Vehicle (DV) number plates for 2021 to car dealers or risk lawsuits.
The DV plate is normally given to owners of new and unregistered vehicles and are not meant for permanent use.
According to VADUG, the delays in the issuance of the new DV plates for 2021 is causing so much harm to players in the car business in the country.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Saturday, January 9, 2021, the Chairman of VADUG Bernard Ntrakwah said many car dealers are unable to move their cars outside their garages to meet prospective buyers at long distances because of the lack of insurance for the cars, occasioned also by the absence of 2021 DV plates.
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Brunei Darussalam is set to implement the electric vehicle (EV) pilot project that will start at first half of 2021 for the next two years.
In line with the Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy (BNCCP), the project will pave the way for national resilience in climate change and low carbon emissions.
Minister of Transport and Infocommunications Awang Abdul Mutalib Mohd Yusof launched the Brunei Darussalam Road Safety Strategic Plan 2025 at the Amar Pahlawan Hall of the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications (MTIC) on Monday (Dec 28).
He said the project is one of the four latest initiatives and transportation policies in the country, adding that, “similar to the Brunei Darussalam Road safety Strategic plan, the national climate change policy focusses on the principles of achieving Brunei Vision 2035 and promoting security, resilience and economic prosperity through a low carbon approach in preserving the environment”.

The Accra Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against the mounting of road blocks for social activities during the Christmas and the New Year festivities without police notification.
It said offenders would face the full rigours of the law.
The caution followed concerns raised by some members of the public about the mounting of road blocks for activities such as concerts, opening of shops, fun fairs and birthday parties, thereby creating inconvenience for residents and road users.
“We anticipate that within this festive period people will organise a number of outdoor events. They must make sure they include the police in the planning, especially if the events will lead to the blocking of roads,” the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mrs Effia Tenge, said.
