You are safe doing 70-80 kph...if temptation to go higher arises, weka governor... ION, which is the most straight tarmacked strecth one can flat out in Kenya...? at times people change the size of their wheels without adjusting the speedometer hence make them think they are going slower than they actually are.

I think the best way is to install automated cameras along the highways with the correct speed limits and make payment of fines automated,maybe come up with a model similar to others e.g Dubai Traffic Fines no human interaction involved plus points deduction on your DL . Seconded .One should drive with a wallet full of few thousands for the cops. With each cop wanting to eat from every motorist, how will one say i was driving 48kph and not 60 as they might say just to get money from you.

Happening now: Anyone driving towards Nairobi CBD from Kinoo DON'T DRIVE ABOVE 50KPMH. Speed gun around CCK and arresting cops next to Safaricom HQ, stay safe!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
