The Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, has defended the Authority’s decision to clamp down on garages that convert right-hand-drive vehicles to left-hand drive, describing the practice as “illegal” and a major road safety risk. A Technical Working Committee established by the NRSA presented its final report in Accra on April 8, 2026, concluding that Toyota Voxy automobiles, many imported as right-hand-drive and converted to left-hand-drive, pose “an unacceptable risk” to passengers and other road users.
