A bus driver was on Tuesday arrested at a road block in Naivasha after passengers notified police of his recklessness.
Passengers said the driver had dismissed their complaints over his speed.
He was to Naivasha Police Station and within minutes arraigned in court and charged with reckless driving.
“We were all terrified and, together with two of my friends, decided to dial number 999 and the response from the police was prompt,” Margret Njeri said.
Naivasha base commander Joachim Kangangi praised three passengers for alerting the police about the driver’s conduct.
“We have instances where passengers complain about the behaviour of the driver but they are unwilling to record a statement, making it difficult to prosecute the offender,” said the Naivasha traffic boss.
“With such brave passengers we can easily eliminate impunity on our roads,” he added.
