5 stupid things that only Kenyan motorists do on the road

Driving on Kenyan roads especial in the capital city feels like a game of chess. you will mostcertainly get checkmated in what could be the motoring equivalent to pettiness:

1. Denying overlappers chance to get back on the road when their path gets impassable, forcing them to wait for more philanthropic motorists behind you, thereby losing all time and distance advantage they had accumulated by their stunt.

2. For the ultra-aggresive and reckless overtakers, closing in the gap between you and the car infront the moment they initiate their overtaking manoeuvre, making it stillborn. Works especially if there’s a long behemoth infront so they can’t possibly safely overtake you and it.

3. Firing up your powerful bi-LED fog lights and those powerful 140W full lights at the sight of their puny 55W, and maintaining it long after they have submitted.

4. Overtaking an aggressive overtaker immediately they complete their manoeuvre and then slowing to under 60 just to prove that you’re slow on purpose and not for want of motor testosterone.

5. Slashing your speed by 40% on your safest leftmost lane at the sight of impatient freaks behind you flashing tens of lights demanding you give way, watching as their impatience boils up into full blown rage but they still won’t get their way.
