Am sorry but I have to go back to my earlier question ; A cop friend is telling me that the fire extinguisher and first aid box only applies to psv vehicles i.e. matatus & taxis. Problem is, he knows zilch about the section of the traffic act with the details.

I seriously need to make a decision on whether to buy these things.

more than 10M in fines collected so far.
BTW you should have 2 triangles, fire extinguisher and approved first aid box, so says some cop i asked yesterday. there seems to be confusion regarding extinguisher and first aid box in personal cars.

Who approves the first aid box?
What size of firex do you require?

Funny that they implement the laws and eve the head of the traffic police is not sure about the speed limit. I did not know that PSV speed limit is 80kph have been in a mats to upcountry doing up to 140kph.

It seems police had an early christmas but thank God two kenyans have brought it out in today's watchman. I also think its againist the wazuan spirit to misinform members. Someone told us here that it is mandatory to have fire extinguishers and first aid boxes in private cars. Kumbe under the traffic act even the reflector triangles are not mandatory. You are only obliged to display them when the vehicle stalls on the road.

Lets educate each other.
