The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has summoned the owners of two Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) that were caught driving dangerously somewhere in Central Kenya.

“UPDATE: This is unacceptable. The owners of the PSVs have been summoned. We will take action,” the statement read.
The footage, which has been circulating on social media for the greater part of the morning, shows the two vehicles swerving erratically and overtaking in a blindspot at high speed.
This madness in our roads must stop not only during this festive season but all the time.@NPSOfficial_KE & @NPSOfficial_KE should have arrested these reckless drivers by now for safety of other road users.#SpeedingRuinsLives #UsalamaBarabarani@Ma3Route @Jasiri_Q@DenisMaosa pic.twitter.com/u8ZTYYM6G2

Passengers are also seen irresponsibly hanging outside their vehicles’ windows as they travel along the highway that appears to be around Nyeri.
The concerned Kenyans who recorded the video also mentioned that they were having problems getting the number plates because of the clouds of smoke billowing from the exhaust pipes.
After the video was published on X, Kenyans reacted angrily, calling on the government to intervene.
This also occurs at a time when the country is prone to accidents on its major roads as Kenyans go on vacation.

To prevent such incidents this year, the NTSA is conducting statewide road safety education and compliance checks.
Traffic police are also doing required checks to limit the number of road accidents during the holiday season.
However, the country has already seen its first road casualties of the Christmas season, following a weekend collision on the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway.
In the disaster that occurred in the Kinungi area, one person died and 30 were injured after a bus carrying passengers overturned on the highway.
