The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) in collaboration with police has launched a hunt for Subaru drivers captured on camera racing dangerously.
This comes after a video showing some cars (mostly Subarus) in a high-speed chase in Karirana, Limuru went viral on social media.
The same drivers were seen in a second video engaging in what appears like a racing contest at Pangani Interchange along Thika Superhighway.
Authorities believe the two videos were taken last Sunday.
“We are still on the move. NTSA and NPS are hunting down those involved. This is the follow-up of a crackdown,” an NTSA officer told Nairobi News.
“We are working closely with police to smoke out the reckless drivers. We hope CCTV cameras mounted at different spots on the Thika Super Highway will help us identify the culprits.”
The officer said the agency has received numerous complaints from motorists about some Subaru drivers who “bully” and “endanger” the lives of other road users by speeding carelessly.
“It’s high time we (regulators) acted. Once identified and arrested, the drivers will have their licenses revoked. They will also be charged with reckless driving, which could result in them spending a maximum of two years in jail, or a fine of Sh100,000, or both,” he said.
