This is what typically happens on our highways these days.

People overtaking recklessly, on the wrong side of the road, off the road.

Corruption.vehicle don't go for inspection yet they have inspection stickers .no enforcement of speed limits...no speed governor..I don't think a bus riding at 80 kph would cause much damage.its genocide on our roads watched by a failed government

We drivers cause the accidents: 1. Carelessness 2. Fatigue 3. Drivers driving too fast on unfamiliar road 4. Drunken driving.

In addition, it is very rare to find road signs especially on roads constructed before the Chinese arrived.

NTSA will not help end the road accidents. The only thing they do efficiently is to collect revenue for GOK (I have said this here before). The current statistics on road accidents are annoying, painful and unacceptable. Something must be done. As drivers, we must have a deep sense of responsibility and love for other road users and do everything we can not to cause an accident. NTSA bure kabisaaa.

Anyone who has driven on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway can tell you of the arrogance of bus drivers. They are at the controls of high speed, powerful turbodiesels (those Scania engines are something else). When a bus changes lanes to complete an overtake, it will complete the overtake, other drivers be damned, especially of smaller vehcles. The guy flashes lights at you. It is for them to scram for their lives by going off to the shoulder. Tough luck if there is no runoff. Unbelievable. The bullying by bus drivers is constant.
This driver probably assumed it was a small car oncoming and it would make way, plus it was dark. There is no cure for human stupidity but you can clamp it down severely. First, the power on those buses needs to be cut off, limit speed to 60. Matatus too. Inspection every three months. Tampering leads to heavy fines.
Its a start.
