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.
w
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!!!

ok there are madeemoni in need of cleansing on Gm flyover.

Last week, hapo Imara entrance, there was a terrible accident, the pedestrian died instantly!

But I think it would be prudent for drivers to reduce their speed when you approach these "crossing sections"...Bellevue, GM, Cabanas..

Most Kenyan drivers truth be told are just careless,dont care about other road users,are poorly trained and dont realise that a car is just a piece of metal that can double up as your coffin...you can drive fast and be careful,there are countries where you can hit 180kph in their highways without worry drivers are super disciplined no silly changing of lanes or a car stopping right infront of you to pick someone try driving that fast in Kenya you will be playing russian roulette witb your life...everyday driving in our roads and coming back home alive is another day to be thankful to God.
