According to him, 18 of the implicated drivers have already been processed for prosecution in court.
Olele is the latest popular figure to be caught flouting road regulation, following the arrest of some high-ranking governing officials.
Earlier this month, the MP for Tarkwa Nsuaem, George Mireku Duker, was arrested after he drove in the middle of the road in an attempt to beat traffic.
Some weeks back, the MP for Kade, Kwabena Ohemeng Tinyaase, was also caught disregarding road traffic laws.

So far, about 499 drivers have been arrested for breaching traffic regulations on various roads in Accra, a Police statement said.
