The Sunyani Municipal Urban Roads engineer, Mr Robert Mensah Sabah has indicated that the attitude of some drivers and auto mechanics that repair their spoiled cars on the roads should be stopped since it accounts for the non-lasting roads in the country.

Speaking in an interview with Soireenews, Mr Robert Sabah said the act is one of the major causes of potholes on our roads.

Explaining further, he said the chemical composition of the oil weakens the strength of the coal used in the installation of the roads causing it to crack leading to road damages.
