Skating dangerously!
Day in and day out people risk their lives on our roads by engaging in activities all in the name of entertainment without thinking about the dangers they pose to other road users.
This dangerous act by these men goes against the safety regulations of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), which primarily is to protect and save life.
What is more worrying is that these skaters are not wearing any crash helmet, nose and face masks, a clear disregard for the safety protocols announced by the Ghana Health Service to curb the spread of coronavirus disease.
These shots capture two skaters hanging on a moving vehicle on the Korle-Bu mortuary road, near the Bukom Boxing Arena, while two others hang on a moving motor bike.

Election 2024: NMC to launch app to combat misinformation
The National Media Commission (NMC) says it is set to outdoor a media watch app to combat misinformation and disinformation ahead of the general elections.
According to the NMC, the initiative aims to enable journalists and citizens to capture real-time suspicious activities at polling stations for prompt action.
Speaking after a forum organised by the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG) on the theme “Moderating the Airwaves for Peaceful and Credible Elections 2024,” Executive Secretary for NMC, George Sarpong believes the initiative will be a crucial tool in promoting peaceful elections and enhancing the safety of journalists.
He explained that the app will be a game-changer that is expected to offer accurate information at various polling stations across Ghana.
“This is going to be a game-changer in the sense that it is going to offer us very accurate information about what is happening around the country about the elections.
“And then in terms of the electoral results, if anybody who is at any polling station at the time we are declaring the results, films and submits this, the system can verify the authenticity of what has been submitted.
“We believe that if there is any dispute regarding any incident, this will offer very efficient evidence for anybody interested in understanding exactly what happened there and to address it.
