The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched a nationwide crackdown on reckless driving, targeting vehicles transporting students.

This follows a video that circulated on social media, which sparked a heated debate due to the reckless manner in which the driver was driving.

The video shows a Thika-bound matatu driver speeding while students hang out of the windows, celebrating and banging on the vehicle.

The footage quickly went viral and has reignited public concern over the safety of children commuting to school for the third term.
