The driver of a VIP bus with the registration number GR 9922-15 that was reportedly moving from Kumasi to Accra was captured using his mobile phone whilst driving.
The video was made public by a gentleman identified on Facebook as Jah Man who appears to have been in the bus when the disturbing action was ongoing.
In the footage, the unnamed driver is using a relatively busy road and driving with great speed, which made his decision to use his phone quite ridiculous.

He is seen navigating different applications on his phone, including WhatsApp, after which he finally started making a phone call.
The use of phones during driving is highly prohibited no matter how much care is being taken, as one can easily get distracted by captivating messages or media files.
Also, it is estimated that the amount of time spend making sense of anything on the phone is long enough to drive into a completely unexpected situation and end up in an accident.
