The Review of Road Accidents in Ghana – An additional Technical Perspective to the Road Accident Campaign organized by Joy FM, Ghana

Description

On 5th June 2019 during a conference and a training Workshop on Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy organised by the Department for International Development (DFID) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, I happened to make some observations on some possible causes of road accidents by examining the tread surfaces of car and truck tires within the Kumasi vicinity. It was clear from my analysis why some road accidents occur and I concluded that some road accidents cannot be addressed merely through driving behaviour (such as asking drivers to have maximum rest) or having good road surfaces.
