this seems as possible as dehydrated water - why JUST overlappers - why not "traffic watch" and make it even more far reaching to include road conditions, black spots, police checks, traffic cameras (Access Kenya/KDN) petrol stations, etc etc...as a resource to motorists - that way it can even be endorsed by the Min of transport and the traffic dept. Hell, Wazua has MORE useful info on travel, roads and cops.


As it stands, its rather shallow and short sighted.

and we have to EXTREMELY careful with crowd sourcing - this site is modeled on ushahidi.com.

I recall an email exchange I had with one of the developers/founders of Ushahidi.com (i.e. the website that tracked election violence incidents like rape, murder, police killings, looting, arson, etc) - while its a good thing, it can be misused and can actually propagate more violence if misused.

If I have an incident of road rage, whats to stop me from maligning someone's name? I am certain the site will be shut down VERY soon.

I see one post "UN Car overlapping" - even a CD car can stop in the middle of the road and the driver can take a leak there - anyone know why?

how?, just try and post the car of a kenyan, then we see how far it goes. i am sure that this will be challanged in court since it is not backed by any legal provision. ABK au sio
