Be gentle with it. Treat it well and it will reciprocate. Dont fill a sal oon car with 10 of your pals when from a rave. Fuel at reputable stations. Not those selling fuel at 5 bob below market prices.Accelerate gently, Release the accelerator early enough when you anticipate you will need to brake. Service it regularly. Use "original" parts. Cheapest may not last long. Wax your car at least once a month. Avoid omo. Weka seat covers esp of those beige fabrics. Second from last... To the best of your ability, be stingy with it. Only help those who you know beyond a shadow of doubt that they will take good care of it. Not those funny college dudes who will use it for drinking sprees and street racing. Last, and most important... Dont overtake on blind corners (or where you cannot clearly see ahead), Remember to drive within reasonable speeds, and within a reasonable distance from the person ahead. Isnt all I have said common sense anyway?

Its not a must, however depends on whether we are talking about a first time car owner or a first time driver. for the later its advisable, only that personally i find Nairobi drivers harass you when they see the sign but can live with you making stupid mistakes until you get to know. I hear you need to have someone else who is an experienced driver in the car with you if you have the 'L' sign, otherwise its an offense, the argument is who are you learning from? i can be corrected on this.
