In Kenya, speed limiters are a mandatory requirement for all Commercial Vehicles (with tare weight exceeding 3 tons) and Passenger Service Vehicles (PSVs). The KS 2295-1:2018 standard specifies requirements for the performance and installation of devices designed to limit the maximum road speed of motor vehicles by control of engine power.
Vehicle maintenance is crucial to keeping you, your family, and the people around safe. In combination with defensive driving, ensuring that your vehicle is well-maintained can prevent breakdowns and other system failures that may lead to a serious car accident.
Ensure that you do the following:
Lack of proper brake maintenance can cause them to fail—and that can put you and other drivers in a serious or even fatal car accident
Failing to maintain your tires can cause a serious tire blowout which can result in the loss of vehicle control and cause a serious car accident
Failing to maintain headlights properly can exponentially increase the chance of many different types of car accident
Use hazards lights, road flares, and safety triangles to alert other drivers
