The Tema Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Directorate (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, Chief Supt. Joseph Owusu Bempah, has blamed skimpy and sexy dressing by ladies, for some of the accidents that occur on the country’s roads.
According to him, girls and women who wear body-clutching and tight-fitting clothes, are a distraction to drivers – the reason for some needless and unexplained accidents.
“In fact, it’s a source of distraction”, Chief Supt. Owusu Bempah told Accra-based Joy News in an interview.
“So, when you dress, dress moderately. If you are in your car, fine. Some of them, too deliberately, they want to walk on the streets perambulating – they’ll go to the other end and come back doing nothing”, he added.
Chief Supt. Owusu Bempah also advised drivers to keep their eyes straight on the road when driving despite such “distractions”.
“Drivers who have been watching women, they should stop. When they see a beautiful woman on the road, instead of driving past, they want to slow down and watch, and sometimes they hit… When you say it sometimes they think it’s a joke, it’s not a joke at all.
“There was a programme that we did, we invited the drivers and it was one of their main concerns; that the women dress [skimpily].
“You see, you can be focused but when you are driving and you see somebody with that tight something, [As] a normal human being, you’ll watch because Ghanaians like watching things... You can be focused but it’s not everybody that will be focused. You will be focused [but] another person will look and come and hit. And they have been killing people. Sometimes the accidents that happen, you can’t imagine how [they happen]. The person is driving, he was not speeding, how come the car somersaulted; how come he hit another person? These are some of the distractions”, he said.

EIIIIIIIIIII GHANA POLICE MO P3 WH3 PAAAAA
Nice one commander i can make my deductions no offense ooo, but "WO P3 HW3 PAAAAAAAA." HAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
So are we now saying that the female Drivers are not distracted hahahahaha. This ridicule must stop. Come up with something cogent, OFFICER
It looks like there's something in the MTT-Department blocking the brains of the leaders to think. Couple of years ago, i heard one MTT Commander came up with road safety hymns..."Lord i'm coming home, nearer my God to thee" and so on to create awareness on over speeding. Now we have another commander who attributes the cause of unexplained accidents to ladies' dressing? come on guys, are we serious as a nations? What kinda leaders do we have? It's about time to partner with roads and highways to expand lanes to avoid accidents mostly caused by overtaking and stop the comedy. One day! One day! the youth will take over!!
It is a choice. you can ignore them.
An embarasssment of a senior police officer.DO you realy have brains?? With this kind of naivety and ***barred word*** leading men, no wonder our police is always confused.
Asem ooooo. Is this coming from a scientific research carried out by the police or one of those things, A FIGMENT OF SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION? HMMMMMM
