the traffic Act was amongest the 60s laws that were amended after his Excellency president Ruto enacted the miscellaneous statute bill of 2024 join me on this episode of Cs and laws as we break down the brief amendments that were done on the traffic Act of Kenya as usual I'll be your host wak Cedric votti

[Music]

the first amendment that was done on the traffic Act is the notice to attend court this is captured under Section 116 of the traffic act previously section 116 used to state that such notice as a for said shall be for all purposes be regarded as a sermon issued under the criminal procedure code basically what man when a party commits a traffic offense they go to the station the offense is booked then the offender is supposed to attend court how is the offender supposed to court the offenders pays a fine either 5,000 or 10,000 Shillings he or she is issued with a receipt on the date that this specific file of the offender shall be taken to court so inong Court you're supposed to appear before the magistrate court palong on Friday the 16th of July 2024 so rece this receipt will act as a sermon for you to attend court the will be will ewarrants of arrest will be issued against you so that's even so previously you go to a police station you pay that fine this fine basically supposed to enable an offender attend court but can go to that police officer now with the Amendments that have been done on the traffic act police process the documentation that is being used by the police officers to make a person attend court soons Poli scopy the copy itself no the police can scan the sermons WhatsApp 5000 probably the police officer needed to do some further investigations the traffic accident the traffic incident investigation forward file the office of the director of public prosecution Office of the director of public prosecution confirm indeed this is a traffic incident and this offender has to be charged in a court of law orpp at a pair of police officer date the specific date that he Cas in this specific case you're supposed to come to court on the 24th day of July to take any other date by doing so he doesn't have to give you the official summons as it were before that is considered as official seron the only difference is the owners will be with the police to ensure that sermons this is not a new thing in civil cases sque Ser via whatsappa message via email as long as message WhatsApp dou double blck that is considered a valid Service as long [Music]

as sub message this specific email is not in service the only thing confirm that number is registered to you Safar confir message WhatsApp so that's a new Amendment on this specific date you're supposed to been cour Tech play that in itself is now legal the Second Amendment I act inspection of vehicles this was there before under section one of five of the Road Traffic act normally it used to say a licensed police officer in uniform can stop any vehicle enter the vehicle and drive drive dri and it's now low it's not just a police officer a police officer in uniform a licensing officer licing officer those are liced officers then inspector of police if you've committed a traffic offense these persons have now the backing of the law to get to enter into your car in fact to stop your car enter into your car station station these persons have the power and the backing of the law to enter that car and drive it to the nearest station now it is low drive to the nearest police station tat the third amendment this affects section 106 of the traffic act uh section 106 of the traffic act subsection 4 a I'll read for you where a police officer a licensing officer licensing officer or an inspector makes an order under subsection 4 subsection 4 of section 106 of the traffic act he may remove the vehicle identification plates and the vehicle license and if he does so he shall deliver them to the authority to be kept while the order Still Remains in force traffic police officer with one or two things say that is legal and before they used to say he may now with the Amendments the cops can do that without as long as you've fled any traffic with what this specific office number number holder stick number plate bum yes but now it'sing of thew someone committed resolved either in a court of law police station so it's a mandate with the police right now in addition to this removal of identification plates of a motor vehicle another amendment which ties to this is the fourth amendment production of driving license on demand previously this is under section 36 of the traffic act previously person driving a motor vehicle shall carry his driving license or provisional license and shall produce the same upon the request of a police officer then subsection for the purposes of of this section which is section 36 a driving license or a provisional license includes any other such evidence that will satisfy the police that there's no Contra of section 30 basically subsection 2 of section 36 driving license I'm a provisional license but any other evidence that will satisfy the the police officer that your license is valid what is this other evidence application NTS fed into the details the ID number the ID number of this person the driver this driver is valid arm his driver's license is not valid so Number application driving license Cedric is valid is not valid that was the additional evidence that you needed to produce that was the additional evidence that was needed to be produced in the place of a driving license but say the Amendments any person driving motor vehicle on the road shall the word shall is mandatory you must have your driving license any person driving a motor vehicle on a road shall carry his driving license or provisional driving license and on being so required by a police officer produce it for examination again very important soing license police officer on driving license genuine he or she the police officer could take that driving license for examination so section 36 in conjunction with Section 10 106 those are two amendments that work together

so number that's now legal under the law Poli could detain could retain your original driving license is also legal under the law until this traffic offense this traffic dispute is resolved the last Amendment but this was there before it's under section 100 of the traffic act basically this talks about excess passengers previously excess passengers charged there and then but now if there's an excess passenger what the police are supposed to do is compel Amma tell Amma direct that this excess passenger that g overloaded but the passenger again will not be charged however passenger this excess passenger upon the request of a police officer comply with the orders the directions the request of a police officer police officer now I'm charge P police station and the fine is between 5,000 to 10,000 so these are the new some of the Amendments that have been done on the traffic Act of Kenya as always I've been your host w s magotti on this episode of cin laws if you have any questions any queries you can always reach out to us contact conversations then conversations can give you your details then we can assist you in any legal disputes or any legal challenges that you're facing [Music]
