December is a time for happiness and merrymaking, but it's also the period with the most road accidents in Kenya. To ensure your safety while on the road, it's essential to avoid some common causes of road accidents.
Published on December 24, 2019, one of the main causes of road accidents is unnecessary aggression on the roads. This can be avoided by being more patient and courteous while driving.
Another common cause of road accidents is speeding. Speeding not only puts your life and the lives of your passengers and other road users in danger, but it also burns more fuel. To avoid this, stick to specified speed limits and give way as often as you can.
It's also crucial to ensure you are well-rested before embarking on a long drive. Driver fatigue is a leading cause of road accidents, and it can be avoided by getting a good night's sleep before driving.
Finally, make sure your vehicle is well-maintained before taking a long trip. This includes servicing your car, checking your tire pressure, and ensuring that your brakes are in good condition.
By following these simple tips, you can stay safe on Kenyan roads this Christmas.
