Director of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng has clarified that vehicle owners whose vehicles are repeatedly captured for speeding under the TraffiTech-GH system will not have their driving licences automatically revoked under the current law.

He stressed that vehicle owners would instead be required to pay the applicable fines for each time they violated the law.

He explained that motorists who are worried that receiving multiple electronic speeding tickets could lead to the loss of their driving licences, as practised in some other countries, should understand that Ghana's current legal framework does not provide for such automatic revocation.

“If the ticket comes 100 times, he will pay 100 times. Nobody will revoke an owner's driving licence for speeding as per the current law,” ACP Obeng stated.

He said the clarification was intended to address concerns surrounding the implementation of TraffiTech-GH and explain the consequences of repeated speeding violations under the existing legal framework.

He also outlined how the TraffiTech-GH system detects and processes speeding offences, explaining that violations are captured and the evidence processed within three minutes before an Electronic Notice of Violation is sent to the vehicle owner's registered phone number.

According to him, the notifications are delivered through the official GPS-MTTD sender ID.

ACP Obeng said the system was designed to create a sense of apprehension among vehicle owners and encourage voluntary compliance with speed limits.

To strengthen enforcement, he disclosed that some cameras had been installed in unmarked vehicles deployed to areas where speeding remained a major concern.

He said the approach was intended to improve compliance with road traffic regulations and promote safer driving behaviour.
