Safe Driving

A number of times whilst out driving in Nairobi on a Friday evening, I’ve been behind vehicles that have been swerving rather alarmingly on the road. Whilst this can be on account of potholes sometimes, I rather suspect that something else was behind these meandering manoeuvres. There was a time a few years ago when police were issued with breathalisers to be used on drivers suspected to be under the influence, but that only seemed to last for a month or so. This year, the ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’ took a rather unexpected turn with the promotion on billboards around the city of drinking yoghurt rather than any other kind of beverage. Not one I’d have thought of!
