The real issue at hand isn't just the inconsiderate drivers; it's how the EPS system is set up and enforced.
Take Entebbe, for instanceโthere are speed limits signs posted at 50 km/h, yet drivers testify that theyโve been penalized for driving just a tad above 30 km/h. It raises a lot of eyebrows, doesnโt it?
And seriously, have you ever tried maintaining a speed of 30 km/h? Some vehicles simply can't handle it. This calls for a much-needed review of the limits.
Moreover, letโs talk about the fines, which are shockingly steep. How many Ugandans actually earn over 500,000 shillings a month, even those working in government? Losing three monthsโ worth of salary to harsh penalties is simply unjust. Plus, the pressure to pay within 72 hours or face an additional 50% charge is mind-bogglingโI've seen banks that offer loans with better terms than that!
The EPS system is faulty and needs reviewing
