The Acting Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, has shed light on the ongoing debate surrounding the legal age for commercial motorcycle riders in Ghana, popularly known as Okada riders.

Speaking on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey, Amaliba clarified the legal framework behind the age restriction and revealed efforts by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to revise the rule. "That's for the DVLA.

So, the age for riding a motorbike is also 18, but the age for riding a motorbike for commercial purposes is 25.

However, we reckon that that age, 25, is way too high," he explained, highlighting the legal complexity involved in revising the current law.
