Driving unregistered vehicles banned

The Zambia Police Service has banned the use of unregistered motor vehicles countrywide.

Announcing the ban to WestMac Media, Police Public Relations Officer Esther Mwata Katongo said only those motor vehicles that are in transit will be allowed to be driven on Zambian roads and should as per requirement be accompanied by relevant documents. 

Ms Katongo said police officers have been directed to impound motor vehicles moving without registrations forthwith. 

She further said all motor vehicles within the country bearing foreign number plates and being driven by Zambians without any justifiable reason have also been banned. 

Ms Katongo has since urged members of the public to comply and help the police in safeguarding peace and security of the country.
