Young truck driver sparks outrage for driving with his feet on Tema motorway

Young truck driver steering with his feet on Tema motorway

A young truck driver has sparked widespread outrage after a disturbing video showed him steering his vehicle with his feet while cruising along the busy Tema Motorway, one of Ghana’s most important and fastest road corridors.

In the viral clip, the unidentified driver is seen leaning back in his seat, using both feet to control the steering wheel of a heavy-duty truck.

He appears completely unfazed by the danger he poses to himself and other road users, even filming himself as he engages in the reckless act.

The video has alarmed many Ghanaians who note that the Tema Motorway is already notorious for frequent and often deadly accidents. Viewers expressed anger and disbelief, warning that a single mistake could have resulted in a major tragedy.

Several people described the driver’s behaviour as irresponsible and a serious threat to public safety. Many social media users are calling on the Ghana Police Service, the Motor Traffic and Transport Department, and relevant transport unions to identify and sanction him. They argue that without strict punishment, others may attempt similar stunts just to gain online attention.

Authorities have not yet issued an official response, but many expect swift action given the gravity of what the video captures.
