Traffic in the City
if you drive a Toyota Vitz, stop reading this right now and put this blog on your blacklist. I hate Vitz drivers. why? every first time driver who's got a pay rise and can therefore afford to take a car loan from a bank defaults to buying a Vitz. so what happens, the person driving at 40 kms per hour on the bloody RIGHT lane of a two lane highway such as Thika Road or Jogoo Road or Mbagathi way is always A VITZ driver.....arghhhh! the person making a U Turn, yes U turn on bloody Ngong road at 5:45 p.m peak driving time is always a VITZ driver, the person who decides to overtake the slow moving lorry and then forgets mid-overtaking that the rest of the cars behind him are also trying to overtake is always a VITZ driver.....need i say more? And let's not forget trying to get into a parking at Nakumatt Prestige and the undecided driver trying to choose which lane to get into therefore blocking 15 cars of traffic behind him or her is always a VITZ driver. To anyone reading this who hasn't bought a first car yet, please do not default to the VITZ contrary to whatever temptations besiege you, fight the urge, purge the amorous desire, press ctrl+alt+del and flush the impure thoughts from your mind.

Reminds me of my travels in Nairobi in ancient days (1966) in a Fiat 600 that had just survived a cross country race before we rented it for a drive from the coast to Nairobi.
ReplyDeleteThe most frightful and funny incident was getting broadsided by a double decker bus and surviving. The little Fiat bounced about 20 feet. There were four of us in the vehicle and one had a lap full of glass. The people in the bus were none too happy that we had stopped their journey to work. We were surrounded by bus riders pounding what was left of the little Fiat. Just then the crowd parted as if Moses was doing his Red Sea stunt. Ten police and a junior officer appeared. just as it looked as if we were going to be turned over the the crowd of not admiring bus riders, our host recognized the junior officer as a classmate. We were then surrounded by the police and driven away. The Junior officer assured his schoolmate that he had to make it appear as if we were being arrested to satisfy the bus crowd. Grin - ten minutes later we were on our way and I was thanking the "old boy" relationship of Hammington Pamba's that had saved our day.
True. True . That damn car is a menace!
ReplyDeleteI pressed ctrl+alt+del..what's a VITZ?
ReplyDeleteMy most-likely-to-annoy-you vehicle is the Toyota G-Touring (which i suspect is the car of choice for the retired or upgrading matatu driver). The G-Touring men (it's always a guy) are worse than the Vitz owners (who are just novice/inexperienced drivers) in that they make ballsy (bad) driving decisions that leave you shaking your head...they don't even look right or left before merging into traffic...in fact, they seem to drive at 50kph permanently, thus avoiding braking or stopping at any time :)...but, yeah, the Vitz is an ugly (literally) menace- the name even sounds odd.
ReplyDeleteLOL at Tamaku...what's a Vitz!!!Tee hee!
ReplyDeleteVITZ should be the car of choice for our dishonourable MPs and then we will have MPs walking to parliament hehe
