And I concur with The Wert that our driving schools are the single most contributor to this madness. I am not sure that I was taught anything by this fellows. The traffic inspector at my test only saw me move a truck for about 50 meters on a straight stretch near statehouse Mombasa!And that was it, plus reciting a few road signs in his office. My tutor assured me that I’d pass having paid the full training fees which factored in Ksh 500 for the traffic police. He added that I’d learn the ‘rest’ on the road.That our accident rate is not higher is perhaps due to divine guidance.

We need some changes in the driving school and driving test arena where people do have to sit a written exam like in other countries. Moving a car from point A to B is not all there is to driving. Road courtesy should also be addressed.Oh, I forgot, not every one goes to driving school and not everyone also has a driving license issued legally.A
