Rryzz,why are u assuming everyone who uses the road drives himself?there are passengers in matatus,pedestrians,cyclists,cows,taxi passengers etc.

I blame the police 90% the remaining 10% is the reckless greedy drivers.there are many roadblocks yet they allow uninspected vehicles after taking bribes.

in this case unregistered mtumba van was ferrying 9 souls from mombasa passing all the roadblocks without getting arrested.how safe are we? suppose the mtumba car was carrying explosives?


kenyans need somebody to save themselves from themselves.
the young kids died here because of careless adults including the parents who chose to use shortcuts (namely unregistered means of transport/ vehicles)and the police who were too busy taking 50bobs instead of doing their work.

btw who is the transport minister?

matatus on this highway are very reckless and have bought all the police officers in the highway.
they speed, carry excess passengers in broad view of traffic police officers who occassionally stop them to collect 'their' 50 bobs

...the numbers are alarming for a country with 40m people http://www.worldlifeexpe...ad-traffic-accidents,as @newfarer said this matatu drivers are too careless,the other day sm idiot was smack right on the highway,just at the turn off to JKIA alighting people,there was no stage he dint have the hazards on,jst dint care,you can easily ram him from behind...we really need stiffer penalties,this thing is serious,we need urgent intervention.

Ditto @mkeiyd.

All other factors held constant, when driving from Nyayo Stadium to Mlolongo at 140kph, you'll take 8.6 mins covering the 20km stretch. When you reduce to 120kph, you take 10mins. When you reduce further to 100kph, you take 12 mins. And while doing 80kph, you take 15 mins. In other words, it doesn't make sense to speed in that section of the highway if all you'll be saving is less than 7 minutes! Spend 7 minutes more on the road and save lives, and reach home safe, with no visits to the insurance or the mechanics. Reduce your need for speed, driver. It's also upto you, the passenger, to always tell the driver to drive well.

This car lost control along Mombasa road near GM flyover and burst into flames!!!
