Police in the Ashanti Region has served notice that they will from next month begin a special operation dubbed, “Operation Produce Your Driver’s Licence’ to fight breaches of road traffic regulations in the region.

The exercise has been scheduled to start on Monday, February 3, 2020, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the police said in a statement.

“Every driver of any type of vehicle is advised to carry his/her driver's licence while driving on the road,” the statement admonished.

The police said the move is aimed at ensuring a “vigorous enforcement” of Regulation 47 of the Road Traffic Regulation, warning drivers that the failure to produce their licences “will lead to the arrest of defaulting drivers and possible prosecution.”
