Kenyans are know for peculiar driving habits the world over. In fact when you land in the US they never bother to look at your Kenyan Driving license. They send you straight to the driving school and give special instructions. Here are the reason why:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

1. Never Wait in Line<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
When the traffic on your lane comes to a stop and you can’t see ahead why everyone is not moving, move over to the oncoming lane. You should not waste time on a lane that is not moving. On coming traffic will understand.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2. Overtake in a convoy<\/span><\/h1>\n
When the car in front of you decides to overtake, follow him. Overtaking as a convoy is more fuel efficient because there’s less drag on the non-leading cars. Use this trick to save fuel on the highway. Stay close to the car ahead.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

3. Right of Way<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
Right of way is just that, your right. You may not have a title deed for your lane but if an oncoming vehicle is overtaking dangerously, shauri yake. Your lane is your lane. Don’t move.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

4. Visibility is Key<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
Ensure you install powerful aftermarket lights. Light up the road properly. If others choose to keep stock lights, it’s their right too but let them not expect you to not use your upgraded lights. Choices must have consequences.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Also, old people should not expect you to have your lights on at dusk and dawn. If you can see with natural light, it’s not their business dictating to you how to use your car.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

5. Hazards Lights = Blank Cheque<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
As long as you turn on your hazard lights, you are free to do whatever you want. You can leave the car on the highway and grab some roast maize by the roadside, make a u-turn, overtake on a blind corner, wait for someone or even fix a rattle; just have your hazards on.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You may add more so we help other drivers keep the roads safe.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
