Speaking of Warren (another mention Wozi!), he is currently in the process of getting his Ghanaian driver's licence which is a fairly long winded affair, as per usual. He won't be driving far, just around the minesite, but it will be much easier than having to wait for a car/driver to take him places. So he's been reading up on the "Ghana Highway Code" booklet...
Now the roads safety situation in Ghana is not cool. One might say that Road Safety is not top of their priority list. So this little passage in the booklet made us laugh - it really sums it up well:
"41. If a vehicle approaches on the wrong side of the road: the driver may be asleep, drowsy, inattentive, ill or drunk. Warn him with your horn and pull to the right as far as possible".
Huh!!! So its OK if you're driving while you're "inattentive, ill or drunk"?!
This one was also funny:
"45. Be careful near fruit bearing tree. Children are more interested in fruits than in traffic".
Crazy kids....
