If the on-coming driver does not deep his/her lights,how about switching yours to parking and use his/her lights until he/she goes past?.It works.

[color=blue]Best solution to solve this full lights issue is to install road lights. If government/city council was serious and installed lights on the roads, then this problem would go away. If you've driven in well lit cities you would note this lights really help.


I think you have a point there, when you drive in areas where hakuna street lights that's usually when you have a problem with on-coming vehicles.....as someone has said sometimes you flash someone thinking ati ako full lights only to be hit by full beam a few seconds later. Its like a flash light, becomes brighter when there's total darkness.

Btw, some of the drivers around should also go for eye check-up.....vipofu ni wengi kwa barabara. If you normally have trouble driving at night then you probably need a pair of spectacles.

Reminds me the first (and only time) I drove a Volvo - wedding and I was the bride's driver.

When it came the reversing the car, couldn't figure out how to shift the gear.......my sorry a** was embarrassed the rest of the day.

Those jalopy cars and double cab pick-ups are the most notorious.


They put those to revenge when another motorist wekas full beam on them, little do they know it can be a recipe for disaster.

Another peculiar habit I have observed with Kenyans this time in buildings...

- You are waiting for an elevator (lift) and it arrives full packed. Instead of guys giving way for those inside to come out first, they begin to push and shove to get in. Very stupid.

- Now you have successfully managed to get in the lift, everyone wants to push the floor button switch. Others will still insist to push it even after it's been pushed by a different person and it's lighting. That's the point you feel like smacking someone really hard!!

If at all Kenya will have first world superhighways, we need to get rid of our third world driving ways.

@harrydre been contemplating of doing this,cause its irritating your driving on dimmed lights then some idiot has his or hers on full beam kwanza on a narrow road...your try the polite driver move indicating to them n also flash ua lights to show your on dim but they are still kamin towards you with full lights thats when you have the right to daze them with your fitted flood lights so that they know whos king...ok doesnt sound kind.
