Yesterday evening about 9pm I was driving on outer ring road. Between Donholm and Tajmal section, I encountered three vehicles, two of them Matatus driving in the wrong direction with lights on full blast.

Driving towards oncoming traffic on a one-way-traffic-road!!

Not only was this annoying but also scaring as I was not familiar with the road and needed to keep watch on where the exits and turn offs are to avoid missing my way.

The last such offending vehicle was a 33 seater matatu that I encountered near Tajmal, coming from the direction of JKIA on a road that’s exclusive for vehicles cruising towards JKIA! I figured it would have to travel for more than a Kilometre in order to switch to its rightful lane.
This Devil will care attitude is our undoing.

Aside from the need to have such behaviour reined in, we have to appreciate that it’s also a function of how we are cultured.

Question is, are we doing anything to debrief the next generation of this warped culture!!

All the above happens and no consequences from authorities. Only death or injury of driver and helpless victims. My take enforcement is and has been wanting, blame it on corruption.

I support you on this speed capping. KEBS should talk to the manufacturers of those buses and limit the speed at 80kph from the factory. For the current buses and matatu the fine for tampering with speed governor should be permanent ban of the bus/matatu

The problem is that the mad drivers are a risk even to those driving safely on the roads. We need serious enforcement of traffic rules to get these mad men and women off out roads

No,the drivers are not committing suicide they are mostly killing others.One driver dead,37 Pax gone! No one is safe unless you don't travel by road at all.
Uhuru,RAO or any other politician will have no use for you when rescuers remove your broken body from the wreckage.You will be just another statistic.
