Motorcycle number plates: The growing practice of concealment

9, GNA – The growing practice among some motorcyclists of bending, covering or otherwise concealing registration number plates is raising concerns over road safety, accountability and law enforcement in Ghana.‎‎For law enforcement authorities, a motorcycle’s registration number provides an important link between the vehicle and its registered owner and can assist investigations and efforts to establish accountability.‎‎While a motorcycle may be fast enough to disappear into traffic, a clearly visible registration number can ensure that it does not escape the law and can be identified for further action.
