Michuki Rules is a good example of what you need to do. Good policy and subsequent execution. The really important parts were No overloading/standing, Seat Belts, Regular Checks, Speed Governors and more importantly citizens resolve to push through and walk if need be. We, as a nation then, had believed. The problem I see with our current approach is where every problem has to be nailed in with our 'Digital Hammer' as its possibly the only tool we have.

Ohaga, Michuki rules reduced PSV accidents by 80%. We all know what happened to the rules after the demise of Michuki. A bus can overtake you while you are travelling at 100KPH
A lot of these responses seem like a cheer match for Dactari. That's not how people are supposed to engage in a productive argument, that the merits n demerits of a point are not truthfully explored just because the originator is held in high esteem. Technology alone is not the solution, why do we have more deaths from accidents on our roads than even before

speed governors were made a prerequisite for PSVs to get their licenses??
Dactari's idea is good, but it does have a lot of demerits as well, swallowing it wholesome like has mostly been proposed here is a recipe for a technological tyranny...

Dashboard-mounted Video Cameras (dash cams) are very popular in Russia for the same reasons that motivated Bw. Daktari to install one in his vehicle : http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/02/russian-dash-cams/
As a champion of local innovation/customisation, the good doc will be pleased to hear that some enterprising young lads recently showcased a similar local solution on a national TV station :
