In a dramatic crackdown, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has shut down insurance offices in Cape Coast and Sunyani following investigations into the illegal sale of DV Plates. The move comes amid growing concerns about fraud, road safety, and regulatory violations in the country’s vehicle registration system.
Authorities revealed that some insurance offices were involved in unauthorized distribution of DV Plates, a serious breach that undermines official controls and exposes motorists to legal risks. The DVLA has vowed to take stringent action, warning other offices against participating in such activities.
Local motorists and business owners reacted with shock, with social media buzzing about the crackdown. Some praised the authority for enforcing the law, while others expressed concern over disruptions to vehicle registration and insurance services.
The DVLA stressed that normal operations will resume once investigations are completed and implicated offices comply with regulations, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to corruption in the transport sector.
