The National Transport and Safety Authority and the National police service have launched a joint crackdown on non-compliant vehicles and a sensitisation campaign.
This is aimed at taming rogue drivers as children go back to school.
The crackdown held along the busy Thika Superhighway saw over a hundred vehicles flouting traffic regulations netted and passengers sensitized on the importance of fastening their safety belts.
The crackdown was led by Peter Mwanzo, from police headquarters accompanied by Kendi Mutuma who is the NTSA Thika region manager.
The exercise saw many unroadworthy vehicles, some with defective speed governors and drivers without valid licences arrested.
Mwanzo stated that most road accidents were a result of human error by failure to adhere to traffic rules.
