The car hire companies have records of who had the car at that particular moment. The cameras are tagged with date and time. For private cars the owner is always liable so its up to you the owner to make sure whoever is driving your car abides ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Stephen Wanjau" <wanjaustev@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Viernes, 8 de Noviembre 2013 8:43:59 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Traffic Cameras in Nairobi | And where do Car Hire companies stand when a reckless driver makes | the illegal turns and what not.
