Lack of good roads coupled with heavy traffic in most cities had forced a lot of people to look for faster means to transport themselves. What come in handy are okadas (Motorbike) and aboboyaa ( Tricycle) as emergency transport service for quicker meet-time and delivery. With the reckless and lawless behaviour of some okadas and aboboyas riders on the roads of Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi, and even some other towns in Ghana, one is under the impression that they are above the law. They operate as if traffic laws were made for other road users and not them. I recently visited Bolgatanga, the capital of the Upper East Region, close to the border with Burkina Faso, and to my surprise motorist over there seem to obey traffic regulations and driving over there was fun. No reckless counter-crossing or heavy-handed driving. In most parts of the capitals, in Ghana, okadas and aboboyaas compete with heavy-duty trucks, high-capacity vehicles on the highways and even on main road lanes. One

  Investing in a car Buying a car or being a car owner comes with a lot of expenses; one has to buy fuel, accessories, do roadworthy certificate and most importantly insure the car to financially protect it and other road users. A lot goes into investing in a car. One thing to take into consideration is the maintenance and security. While the level of expenditure doesn’t end at spending a significant amount for purchasing a car, insurance acts as an essential cover to protect it. If you have not insured your car under a beneficial coverage plan, you might have to pay high expenses following an accident, damage to third party properties, causing injuries or even death to third. The possibility of the car being stolen does exist and quite on the rise in recent times. The frequency of motor vehicle accidents and insurance claims Each and every day accidents happen. So, as we are advancing towards the electric cars and advanced safety system for making the drive safe, it is very important

With the rise in use of internet for ride-sharing vehicles like Uber, Bolt, Dropyn, Yango and rest, the smarter cars are getting with use of technologies, the more exposed they are to the threats the technological world is struggling to deal with. Also, with some countries getting abreast with self-driving cars technology and all new technology-driven systems that require internet access, vehicles could easily become a target for cybercriminals in Africa and across the world, and companies involved in the automotive industry know this very well. As at now, there are already lots of semi-autonomous vehicles already on the roads that contain in-car computer systems, or electronic control units (ECU), which is responsible for safety functions such as detecting skids, predicting crashes and performing anti-lock braking systems. During the rise of the COVID pandemic in 2020, vehicle makers predicted that cars could become fully autonomous and manufacturers such as BMW have already created s
