Driving is a Privilege, Not a Right-No one has more right to the road than anyone else

Driving is not a constitutional right. You get your drivers license based on the skills you have and the rules you agree to follow. After you get your driving license you must continue to demonstrate your ability to drive safely on the road. If you fail to demonstrate this ability, you will be fined, jailed, or even have your license suspended or revoked. No one has more right to the road than anyone else. If you’re going to drive, you owe it to the other roadway users and yourself to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.

You must have a driving license to operate a vehicle of any kind on a public road or parking facility in Kenya. 

A lot of responsibility comes with a drivers license. You have to drive safely, obey the traffic laws, and respect the rights of other drivers. Not only should you concentrate on your own driving, you should also be well aware of the other vehicles around you. Driving safely also includes how and where you park your car. Passengers in your car put their safety in your hands and expect you to drive safe as well.

A motor vehicle is capable of causing extensive property damage, injury, and death. You should handle any vehicle you drive with extreme caution and attention to detail. Being in control of your vehicle requires you to be familiar with how it works, including its limitations. You need to maintain your car with oil changes and tune-ups on a regular basis.

You also have a financial responsibility when it comes to driving. Every driver needs to have motor vehicle insurance that covers any potential damages or injuries he or she causes.

Finally, safe driving requires a good attitude. You shouldn’t be stressed, tired, or distracted; driving should be your only focus. You need to be both mentally and physically capable of controlling your vehicle.

There are many consequences for neglecting any or all of these responsibilities, so make sure you know what they are and comply with them.
