Road Safety 2022

ROAD SAFETY 2022
The 2022 NTSA Statistics shows us that we are losing a lot of people through road related accidents with more than 4300 people losing their lives between January and November 2022. This is a huge number of lives lost, actually losing one life is far too many.
Some of the leading causes of road accidents in Kenya are: –
• Wreckless driving
• Drunk driving
• Over speeding
• Low visibility
• Poor Road conditions
• Poor Vehicle Condition
• Distraction – Texting, Chatting, Calling, and other forms of distraction either from inside or outside the vehicle.
• Drowsiness and Fatigue
Drivers and other road users should be road safety conscious always and practice the following: –
 Obey all traffic signs and regulations
 Drive defensively with the right attitude
 Avoid following other vehicles too close and yield/give way where necessary.
 Always Be Alert, Awake and Aware when driving
 Avoid any form of distraction either from inside or outside the vehicle
 Be visible
 Be prepared for others to make mistakes – Anticipate
 Know and understand your car
 Always do a situation analysis when driving
 Discipline and Courtesy should be observed always.
 Be Responsible, Proactive, Resilient, Careful, Cautious and Vigilant always when on the road.
Road Safety is both an individual and collective responsibility that starts with Me/You/All of Us and is as simple as ABC (Always Be Careful).
