The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) in Kenya has recently introduced new rules and regulations that will come into effect in 2024. These changes aim to enhance road safety, improve traffic management, and ensure compliance with the law. As a responsible driver or vehicle owner, it is crucial to stay informed about these updates to avoid any penalties or legal issues.
One of the key changes is the implementation of a digital driving license system. Starting from 2023, all driving licenses will be issued in a digital format, replacing the traditional paper licenses. This move is aimed at reducing fraud, improving efficiency, and making it easier for drivers to access their license information.
In addition, the NTSA is introducing stricter penalties for traffic offenses. The fines for various violations such as speeding, drunk driving, and reckless driving will be significantly increased to deter motorists from breaking the law. It is important to adhere to the speed limits, avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and always prioritize safety on the roads.
Furthermore, the NTSA is placing a greater emphasis on vehicle inspection and maintenance. All vehicles will be required to undergo regular inspections to ensure they are roadworthy and comply with safety standards. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, vehicle impoundment, or even license suspension.Â
