Story by Fada Amakye from Daily Sun and Top radio

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has launched its innovative lorry terminal project, aimed at bringing its services closer to drivers. Chief Executive Julius Neequaye Kotey explained that the project is designed to address the challenges faced by drivers who often struggle to find time to visit DVLA offices due to their busy schedules.

The DVLA will provide a range of services at major lorry terminals across the country, including:

1.Drivers can now renew and obtain licenses at lorry terminals, reducing the need to visit DVLA offices.

2.The DVLA will also provide vehicle registration services at lorry terminals.

3.The authority will issue road ready certificates to vehicles that meet the required standards.

The DVLA is adopting a new strategy to ensure that road ready certificates are issued to vehicles that meet the required standards. The authority will require pictures of vehicles to be provided before issuing road ready certificates, leveraging technology to monitor and verify the process.

The DVLA is also introducing an e-license solution, which will enable drivers to access their license information on their mobile phones. This will eliminate the need for drivers to carry physical licenses, making it easier for them to prove their driving credentials to law enforcement agencies.

The DVLA is working to address concerns about spot fines, which have been a major issue for drivers. The authority is mechanizing its compliance officers and equipping them with the necessary tools to ensure that fines are issued fairly and transparently.

The lorry terminal project is part of the DVLA’s efforts to enhance the driver experience and make its services more accessible and convenient.

By bringing its services closer to drivers, the authority aims to reduce the administrative burden on drivers and improve the overall efficiency of its operations.
