Sometime back I was driving along Langata Road near Rafikiz. Some pedestrians were about to cross the road. I slowed down to allow them pass but they had seen this VX behind me speeding. The driver, Of Indian or Arabic descent, hooted at me so much as he veered to the other lane. My mama asked me why I had slowed down, had I not seen the VX behind? I asked her, had I not seen the pedestrians ahead at a zebra crossing? I told her, if memory serves me right, the new traffic laws say if you kill a pedestrian at a zebra crossing, life imprisonment pap! Ama I was wrong?

There should be an Aptitude Test before a DL is issued.

It seems at this rate, for everyone to be safe on the road, driving should be restricted to intelligent people ONLY.

"I was on the Thika superhighway on Christmas day. It showed me that there are three reasons why we are dying on the roads. The first is that we can’t drive. We are either untrained or the trainers are generally a bunch of ignoramuses who have nothing much in their heads to pass on."

READ THIS: Kenyans can’t drive, which is why they are so busy killing themselves

Our Driver Licencing system has no tracking of traffic offenses.
Most of these drivers who kill have had many brushes with the law before.

Coincidentally, this is the exact place that case I was talking of earlier happened...Kwanza matatus are so notorious at hooting at you if you stop there. Maybe they assume the person who painted that section was just idle and had had so much white paint to smear the road...

Driving in Kenya is stress everyday you return home safe you thank God...
countries with double or triple our car no.s have lesser/fewer deadly accidents...Kimayo all talk no action...and action isnt waking up one morning and mounting an operation it should be a daily event...

How do you expect Kenyans to know how to drive yet in road tests one either reverses or drives ahead for around 20 meters? I failed my road test once in Canada despite having the Kenyan DL. This opened my eyes and mind and I understood why we have those accidents. I thank God I'm still alive and wiser.
