The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to disregard a flyer circulating on social media claiming that the use of AirPods, earphones and other audio devices while driving or riding is prohibited by law.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, August 18, the Police said the flyer was not issued or authorised by the Service.<\/p>\n
The Police said its Cybercrime Unit is working to identify those behind the publication.<\/p>\n
The Service, however, cautioned motorists and other road users against activities or devices that could distract them or affect their attention, hearing, vehicle control or awareness of surrounding traffic.<\/p>\n
It urged motorists and motorcyclists to avoid distractions and exercise maximum caution while using the roads.<\/p>\n
The Police also encouraged road users to familiarise themselves with and comply with the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519), and other applicable road traffic laws.<\/p>\n
It said compliance with the regulations is critical to reducing road crashes and protecting lives.<\/p>\n
The Service further advised the public to rely on its official communication channels for accurate information on road traffic regulations and other public safety matters.<\/p>\n
