Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has reminded motorists and vehicle owners of the need to renew their driver’s licences and roadworthy certificates when they fall due.<\/b><\/p>\n

The DVLA said this is in line with the requirements of the road traffic regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Road Traffic Regulation 2012 (L.I 2180) 7 (6) provides that \u201cthe owner of a motor vehicle shall ensure that the road use certificate is renewed at any time within one month before the date of its expiry and the renewal shall have effect from the date of expiry\u201d. Regulation 33 (1) of the L.I 2180 also states that -a driver licence may be renewed at any time within one month before the licence expires and the renewed licence shall have effect from the expiry date, a press release date January 23 stated.<\/p>\n

The DVLA cautioned that failure to do so will attract penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cDriver licence holders and vehicle owners who fail to renew their licences and roadworthy certificates on or before the expiry dates as indicated on their documents shall be made to pay for the appropriate delinquency charges as provided for, in the Fees and Charges Instrument 2015 (L.1.2220),\u201d a portion of the release indicated.<\/p>\n

The Authority has therefore urged all customers to take appropriate steps to renew their driver’s licences and roadworthy certificates ahead of their expiry dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cDVLA further wishes to inform customers that Regulation 15 (1) of the L.I 2180 provides that \u201cwhere a motor vehicle is not in use during the stipulated validity period for road worthiness, a person may apply to the Licensing Authority to cancel the Vehicle Registration Certificate and issue the applicant with a Lay-Off Certificate.\u201d Vehicle owners’ are advised to take note of this regulation and comply when required,\u201d the press release concluded.<\/p>\n
