[INDENT]Am disturbed on the matter of accidents that have kept on claiming lives on our roads. Kenya is losing it’s people on road carnages that can be prevented. The deaths are due to human error. It’s time that the drivers using our highways now be thoroughly investigated,[/INDENT]

A horrible attitude towards road safety

Little or no formal traffic education

Lack of awareness on road safety

Poorly constructed roads and pathways

Skewed regulation enforcing mechanism

A very bysmal road worthy standard(s) on public and private vehicles

Little regulatory emphasis on overall road safety

Cannot expect miracles
