VFCP divinely asks the Ghana Police to ensure motorists follow these international road safety measures.
The tricycles known as ‘Asonto’ are carrying iron rods in a hazardous way. The ends of the iron rods must point backwards and not forward.
Trucks carrying timber boards must not be overloaded above the level of the truck.
VFCP recommends that container trucks must be used to carry timber boards, with no timber board exposed.
VFCP divinely confirms that preachers must not be allowed to preach in vehicles. In international law, while driving, the driver’s concentration is vital. The driver uses the hands, legs, eyes, nose, and ears to navigate the road for the safety and security of the passengers and safe arrival at the destination. Therefore, any complex, sensitive, and abstract matters can shift the driver’s cognitive attention away from driving, causing them to fail to recognize a blind spot or to stop or slow down. Most importantly, not everyone in the vehicle is a Christian. According to cultural anthropology, religious groups must not impose their religious beliefs on other social groups against their will. Preachers can only preach to the religious members or congregations in their religious meetings and not in a vehicle where not everyone accepts the Christian ideology.
