Few of those who don't overdo it, don't do it at all. I see it everyday. Especially roundabouts and junctions, they overdo it to the inconvenience of other motorists. Starting with the average female driver onto the male ones in their early 50s driving KB*. ANNOYING.

And then they are heading to a local pub or mpango wa side . *"Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."*

My jap car ...sorry cant afford a Euro one like some rich folks in here ...came with those, factory fitted. Some times I get drivers flashing me, thinking I am on full lights ..then I actually have to dose them full beams for one second just so that we understand each other. More and more cars are coming fitted with HID lights..its a phenomenon that is here to stay ...

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. Other crap that annoy me on kenyan Roads - One eye cars at night. u can't tell if it's a motor cycle, a cop with a torch or some donkey cart on the road. - Blocking each other when you got nowhere to go. You are on an intecection, on the other side is empty buth some zero brain drivers have blocked your way yet they have nowhere to go creating total chaos. Hopefully the new highways will resolve this. - madness hooting...just too annoying. - reckless overtaking and cutting just few inches infront...total craziness. Most of these can easily be resolved if drivers used half their brains. i.am.back!!!!

Those jalopy cars and double cab pick-ups are the most notorious. Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
