Lots of people drive with full lights really inconveniencing the oncoming vehicles. Once you try to signal to them to put them off I think there are even people who do not understand the meaning and continue driving. Don’t they teach such things in driving schools? Another one is for those driving to and from Nakuru to Nairobi; someone told me once that before departure one has to say some prayers. This is not a reserve of Matatus but also personal cars. Whenever one car overtakes, then four or more stupid drivers follow blindly only for the most unlucky to find out that he can’t overtake and he comes squeezing in front of you and you are forced to apply those brakes. “Kenyans peculiar habits @worst “ Next time nitabeba nyahunyo

I once hiked a lift in a colleague's car who by that time claimed he was a middo-krass. He asked me what that blue colored light on the dashboard was as he had tried to turn it off in vain, he thought it was some useful indication in European cars but not necessary in Africa (read snow warning etc), he was doing 120km/h headed to a phombe joint at aroung 9pm! I asked him to slow down I showed him how to turn it off, I did that in a second, he felt amazed, I then told him "hiyo ni full lights" he felt ashamed. I laughed myself out loudly once I alighted at my stage. Middo-krass man with a KB_something who dont know the basics of a car indication!!! Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

Lakini I have to admit when I went for my car coast, I honestly did not know where the lights are - it got dark before machakos and I had to touch all the dials before I found it. You see (but do I say!), my car is a Euro make, so it's not same as the Nissan Sunny I had before... Kabla I got used to it, I hit wipers a zillion times instead of indicators pia.. Lakini hiyo ya full beam I have to say I am very faithful kwa hiyo - and at least ni same way as Toys, Nisans etc!!

They think "owning" an NZE or ka-Subaru Impreza all 1500cc is a major achievement! Owning is quoted since all these Ex japanese junks are on Equity loan book.

The best deal would be for us to make changes kwa gava then we push for more inventives for these makers to come make their cars here - this will save us a great deal of foreign exchange and create a good industry much like SA. Until then, this ex-jap thing is going nowhere.

They don't know? I always have issues with personal car drivers, the kind who keep on looking at their side mirrors as if the car moves sideways.And then those who never use them. The best drivers on the road? Long haul truck drivers. Lest you meet one up/downhill after having been held for miles without a chance to overtake.
