The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched investigations into dangerous driving by two drivers of luxury vehicles along the Nairobi Expressway, putting other road users at risk.
In a statement on Monday, October 26, 20276, the authority called on Kenyans with details of the drivers and their car registration numbers to come forward and help with the investigation.
NTSA condemned the conduct, warning that the drivers had endangered their lives, passengers and other road users.
This follows a viral video on social media that has drawn the authorities’ attention, the drivers, largely known for forex trading, were captured racing a Mercedes-Benz C-Class and a Lamborghini on a dual carriageway while dangerously overtaking other cars.
In the footage, the luxurious vehicle came close to colliding with other cars while attempting to overtake from the left.
Collision-warning alarms could also be heard as occupants reacted to the manoeuvres.
The incident now prompted calls for NTSA to identify the drivers and investigate the circumstances surrounding the footage, with many raising concerns on social media.
In response to the matter, the authority appealed to members of the public with the vehicles’ registration details to share the information through its direct messages on social media to facilitate investigations.
“These drivers not only put their own lives at risk, but also endangered passengers and other road users. It is deeply unfortunate that while comprehensive measures are being implemented to address road safety challenges, individuals still engage in such risky actions,” NTSA stated.
