Not all drivers obey the laws while driving on roads. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to fix this problem?

In recent years, there have been accidents on roads, especially along the road from Nakuru to Malaba. In most cases, the

drivers

are to blame as they do not observe the laws. In

this

essay, I will discuss two key issues: corruption and unqualified

drivers

, as well as suggest possible solutions. One of the major reasons is that most police

officers

, who are in charge of enforcing the laws, are compromised by public

transport

operators.

Drivers

might give some money to

traffic

enforcers so that they can be allowed to flawed

traffic

regulations. They end up,

for example

, ignoring

traffic

lights even in front of

traffic

officers

.

This

is a common trend in most cities and towns around the country.

In addition

to

this

,

drivers

obtain driving licenses in a fraudulent manner

instead

of undergoing proper training. They collude with

officers

working in the government agency in charge of issuing licenses, and

as a result

, we end up having unqualified people on roads. Punishing corrupt

officers

,

however

, is one of the probable solutions to

this

menace. Those found engaging in

such

malpractices should,

for instance

, be suspended from work, or in a worst-case scenario should be fired, prosecuted and jailed. Recently, the government of Kenya began cracking the whip on corrupt individuals in the country.

This

should

also

be extended to the

transport

sector as well. Another solution is that public awareness should be carried out on the importance of observing the laws. National

Transport

and Safety Authority,

for example

, can engage volunteers to educate

drivers

on road safety and regulations. At least, the

drivers

will be able to understand the significance of protecting all road users. In summary, corruption among

law enforcers and

transport

players is one of the major challenges on roads.

However

, educating

drivers

through public campaigns will address some of these problems.
