Why can't the govt cancel drivers licenses for drivers who cause accidents, especially public service vehicle drivers.

This thing of a bus driver killing multiple people through dangerous driving and then he is employed by the next bus company will not end unless they are held personally responsible and their source of livelihood is taken away.

Private vehicle drivers can have their licenses suspended for say min 3 months to maybe indefinite cancellation depending on seriousness of accident?

It's a bad day for road users. 3 accidents already with the latest happening at Sachangwan. Several feared dead




I am just thinking. NTSA should reduce the number of vehicles using Mau Summit- Nakuru road this season as stop gap measure this festive season and i believe this should minimise road accidents along the stretch. How about directing all small vehicles headed to North Rift to Nakuru-Eldama- Ravine-Makutano route while those headed to Western RV and Nyanza to use Njoro-Molo-Mau Summit road. This should leave trucks and buses on their own.

I'm in total shock especially about the Sachawan accident this morning. I was there just 15 minutes before it happened so can count myself and fam lucky.

There road accidents have been blamed on everything including Satan. I hear someone was there praying juzi.

But that's not the problem, is it? When you have police officers and NTSA officials who take hongo on these highways, we shall have a problem. I'm informed that the truck driver was running from an NTSA vehicle giving chase. I mean how stupid are these NTSA fellas. Chasing a 20 ton truck in a blackspot?

Madness.

Instead of giving tenders to alchoholics who visit K1 every day, why not start a real campaign.

"On this stretch of road we don't take bribes"
"Don't bribe the policeman"
"Don't complain when you get a ticket. This cop doesn't take bribes. "
"The fine for speeding on this highway is ksh. 10,000. If you bribe, you shall pay with 6 months imprisonment"
"My police force number is 000111. I don't take bribes. I give tickets"

This nonsense of don't drink and drive has never worked anywhere in the world. It when you meet a cop who is serious with his job that you change your behavior.

You can build a dual carriage way. You can build a mosque and a church right in the middle of the highway. You can have prayer meetings there. You can get a tender for road signs. It shall not work.

Just hire people who do their jobs.

It is that simple.

We know why a cop chases a car on the highway. Not to arrest but to get more hongo. So why continue with this practise.

This now becoming tiring.

NTSA should stop blaming drivers and instead look into itself.

And yes, on this one I blame two people. The driver of the rogue truck who probably didn't have 5k to honga these fellas. And the NTSA fellas who were chasing a madman on a highway, when a radio call ahead would have been easier to implement.

Sad

Murchr, all things being equal, people behave rationally.

When you are asked to stop, you stop. It's like when a woman tells you to stop touching her boobs, then you stop. There are others who think it's sexy not to stop. So we have rape clauses for them.

Human beings don't behave rationally.

That is why we need cops and NTSA officials thinking. I doubt if they think anymore.

There are madmen on these highways. The first thing that NTSA and any policeman has to consider is the safety of the innocents. That is why Murchr in other civilised countries. Where a police car has got more power than a mercedes benz, they don't just chase for the heck of it. They follow you mpaka you have no more gas in your car. You are then charged for the original offence, plus given a civil ticket for their mafuta.

Sorry Murchr, gov't officials no longer think about the poor souls, 32 of them who were just travelling home.

They think, ohhhh, huyu mjinga hawezi hii gari yangu ya green. Nitamuonyesha serekali ni nani.

In civilized societies, those NTSA officials would be in the same court room as the driver of the truck.

So these stupid NTSA fellas were flying and chasing a 20 ton truck just to show they have bigger balls. Through their stupidity 32 people have died. 32 families will never meet their family member again. The cost in numbers is unimaginable.

50k coffins vs a radio call that's free is a loss loss proposition.

If you gov't guys don't start going for training in other countries and learn about win loss sitauations, therein lies our problem.

If I was the head of NTSA, I would resign now. But we know their press release. The driver was escaping police and police gave chase. By accident, the driver killed people. It was a stray bullet that yada yada yada.

Tell that to the families today.

And if your work Murchr is chasing people, then get another job. Your job as a policeman is to safeguard the safety of innocents. Not to arrest people. There is a difference in the two. If you have a D-, it is a bit hard to comprehend.

Sad.

For a guy who's used his airtime to somea me for not understanding Kenya, you are really fresh.

Really fresh.

You are even using a video.

My fren. A Kenyan cop stops you, you look for 100 bob. Kweri rogo?

Do you remember that thread on wazua where every human being on wazua said they pay hongo? It was only me and kularaha. Even maka and mkenyan supported you...

It is not a composition. It is real life Kenya. A cop stops you, you look for money in your wallet. Ama you want me to prove it to you? Do you even need proof ama ni kelele tu?

If you go to Britain. I know for you huko it's too far. My fren, thugs in London use mopeds. Cops won't follow a moped too closely. Coz, as much as they want to arrest the thug, the moped could kill a cucu coming from home.

But you...Endelea na mambo yako of following the law. Ati stop when a corrupt cop stops you. Apana boss. We need Ezekiel Mutua in the police department, not talking about cartoons with porn...Ezekiel Mutua as much as I think he's nuts would do fantatically in the traffic department.

Nikusema tu.

I know when you get a D minus, cause and effect is a difficult concept.

A man sleeps with a woman
Woman gets pregnant
Man refuses woman
Woman wants an abortion
Abortion Doctor agrees
When people die, abortion doctor is arrested.
The muthafaka who caused the pregnancy never even goes to court.

Cause and effect

In civilised countries

The mad driver and the cop chasing are equaly liable in civil court.

That is not an argument. That is what is.

But you have choices in life.

Choose to change how cops work where they care more about human life than the 5k they were chasing. Or continue dying.

That is not my decision. Maisha ni yenu.

Either change how the NTSA works or die. Shauri yenu.

We have more than 70 deaths in a week...Continue arguing with me. I think you are doing the right thing.

When you die Muchr, we shall RIP

@alma is talking alot of sense. I wonder why someone who is supposed intelligent like @muchiri cannot see the point!
