In his view, the continuous use of such vehicles mean future drivers will not be obliged to go through the proper process of training when learning how to drive.
He is, therefore, calling on government to enact a law that will prevent automobile manufacturers and dealers from trading cars with automatic steering wheels in Ghana.

“Enact a law preventing automobile manufacturers from selling cars in Ghana with automatic steering wheel,” Mr. Adu Gyamfi remarked, as quoted by Adomomline.com.
According to him users of manual vehicles are more abreast with the operation of driving, as they “fidget” their cars a bit more, compared to their counterparts using automatic vehicles.
“The driver of a manual constantly fidgets with the gear shift. An upshift here, a downshift there, everywhere [there is] a shift.
“Often this driver has the left hand on the steering wheel, the right on the gear knob. Such drivers I believe are more attune with the operation of their vehicle.”
