On Friday, August 21, a boda-boda rider was fined Ksh 70,000 for hitting a motorist in Lang’ata and leaving his injured passenger at the scene.

He was charged with reckless driving, causing an accident, riding a motorcycle on a public road without a licence and failing to report an accident.

Over the past months, a number of accidents involving boda boda riders have been caught on camera.

In many of the incidents, the boda boda riders were seen travelling with their pillion passengers before crashing into vehicles with the common factor being overtaking on the wrong side of the road.

An accident that occured in Thika town earlier in the month, showed a boda boda rider overtaking using the left side, as a vehicle was trying to exit the road.
