Road traffic accidents have been recognized as one of those adverse elements, which contribute to the suffocation of economic growth in the developing countries, due to the high cost related to them, hence causing social and economic concern, which are key pillars of vision 2030 of the government of Kenya. Previous endeavors to minimize motor cycle accidents has been retarded by recklessness of motor cyclists. This is reflected in an average yearly increase of 6.57 percent in the number of motorcycle accidents from the year 2013 to 2018. However, studies that have been conducted previously indicate that practicing prudent control of motorcycle accidents has led to a decrease in the number of motorcycle accidents. However, these studies never constructed a device that is put in motorists’ helmets in order to sense the alcohol ingested by the motorists and alert policemen hence necessitating arrests of drunk motorists in case a motorist has; to exceed the recommended level of alcohol. Therefore this study sought to investigate the effect of the motorbike Alco sensor on minimizing motorbike accidents. The specific objectives of this study were to reduce number of accidents due to drunk riding; to make the use of helmet compulsory and to reduce cases of riding without it and to reduce cases of head injuries during a traffic accident. The data was collected from Ogembo Omoringamu road, in Gucha town, Kisii County, Kenya. This study analyzed data using descriptive and regression analysis. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. The researcher obtained a research permit from St Angela Sengera Girls’ High school and Kenya Science and Engineering Fair in order to enable collection of data. It was concluded that riding motor cycles while drunk increases the chances of motorcycle accidents. The study also concludes that riding motor cycles without helmets increases the chances of motorcycle accidents. The study finally concludes that riding motor cycles without helmets increases the chances of head injuries. This study recommends that NTSA introduces this helmet in the trending bodaboda industry and make its use compulsory. This study also recommends that NTSA introduce a color code on the motor cycle helmets in order to differentiate the helmet for the passenger from the one won by the rider. This is necessary to prevent drunk riders from handing over their Alco sensor helmets to passengers and using their passengers’ helmets instead.
