A Ghanaian police officer has sent a strong warning to DV plate users, advising them to avoid using DV vehicles for personal activities such as attending weddings, going to church, commuting to work, or running errands in town. Doing so, the officer stressed, could result in arrest.
In a video making rounds on X (formerly Twitter), the officer clarified that while it’s not illegal to drive a DV (dealer vehicle) plate, misusing the vehicle for personal purposes is a punishable offense.
DV vehicles should only be used for specific activities like test driving, taking the car for maintenance, showing it to a potential buyer, or sending it to the DVLA for registration.
Anything outside of these approved reasons, such as using the vehicle for casual errands, is considered misuse.
The officer added that DV vehicle owners must keep a logbook to track their trips, clearly stating the purpose for which the vehicle is being used.
Ignoring these regulations could lead to fines or arrest, making it clear that while driving a DV vehicle isn’t a crime, using it wrongly definitely is.
