Dear Members and Friends,

The Sambau Team would like to share with your the following important
information:

Here is a summary of the drastic new traffic rules caused by the Amendment
of section 12 of Cap 403 of the laws of Kenya. The president signed the
amendments yesterday meaning they are in operation from today and we could
all be affected

a. Number plates: When you sell your vehicle, you should surrender the
number plates to the registrar of motor vehicles and when you fail to renew
the insurance, remember to surrender the number plates to the registrar
otherwise you risk being arrested and fined
b. Overlapping, obstruction, driving on pavement or through a petrol
station to avoid traffic-You risk a fine of Kshs 100,000 -300,000 or One
year in jail or BOTH
c. Over speeding - when you over speed- You risk a fine of Kshs 10,000 or 3
months imprisonment or both
d. Careless Driving: Penalty of Ksh 500,000 or 10 years imprisonment or both
e. Careless driving causing death: Life Imprisonment. This is being treated
like murder.
f. Driving under influence of alcohol: A fine of Ksh 500, 000 or ten years
in jail or both.
g. PSV Operators - Should adhere to the uniforms and badges rules
h. Motor Cycle operators - ONE PASSENGER only and the passenger and rider
must be in reflective vests and helmets- otherwise you risk a fine of Kshs
10,000 and in default 12 months imprisonment

Other changes as below:
- Road blocks are to be gazetted prior to being mounted by the police
· Driving licenses of speed limit violators shall be suspended for not less
than 3 years if the person has exceeded speed limit by more than 10 kph and
if offence is repeated 3 or more times.
- all passengers must wear their seatbelts
· Mandatory eye test every 3 years for licensed drivers. And if you fail
the test then license is withdrawn.
· All law enforcement officers (regular police and APs) are now effectively
mandated to deal with traffic issues with the abolition of the Traffic
Department under the Kenya Police Service Act.

MOST IMPORTANT: SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH DRIVERS, COLLEAGUES, FAMILY &
FRIENDS

SAMBAU TEAM
