Finally Bought A Car

Hehe.
If you leave enough distance between yourself and the car in front you won't need to 'poke'...even with a LHD.
Hehehe...true. Lakini unajua if you leave a gap it will be filled and then you are in the same situation. Ni place moja tu nimeenda where people follow slowly behind na most of the time ni vile hawajui kule potholes ama bumps ziko.

Somewhat I always imagine Kenyan motorists are the most advanced in the World as per Darwin's Evolution Theory coz daily, you have to be alert to not only a multitude of nduthis overtaking from both sides but also idiots ahead who will either break at a moment's notice, turn abruptly without indicating and matatus who will make you swear to hell and back for their myriad of traffic violations.
Mimi niliamua badala ya cursing and honking, each time naona maajabu barabarani, I take a deep sigh and declare deep inside that kila mtumizi wa barabara za Kanairo ni pepo kutoka jehanamu.

Some motorcyclist just two days ago alikuwa anasonga na speed ya 40 na amkatalia kwa lane mbele yangu. No cars whatsoever in front of him. Lazima ningemtishia kidogo revving my engine karibu yake until he could feel the heat from the bonnet frying his annoying ass. Ilibidi asonge kando akinipigia horn.
Poor show.
Unachocha saidi na hiyo 2 litre 'guzzler'.
That was probably a noob on the road, a road that you ought to by now have learnt to share.

I see it touched a nerve. There is nothing about being a noob. The guy was casually scratching his beard, riding one-handed at 40kph instead of hugging the outerline to allow vehicles to pass. Watu wa lorries have more sense. They move to the side when they are slow giving small cars a chance to overtake safely.

You did.
It is ill-advised for bikers to 'hug' the side as you say.
Because a driver will try to squeeze past and clip you with his side mirror. I cannot count the number of friends who have gone like that. Overtaking should be deliberate. Just wait till it's clear and go.
Why can't you just share the damn road?

actually I prefer seeing a motorcycle at the center of the lane, it makes overtaking easier and safer. But kuna some ninjas you see near the shoulder, you wonder whether they want to drop off or still going.

The key word that you seem to keep missing is that if they are riding slowly. Kuna haja gani ufungie magari kama lori ama tuktuk?

Actually you were on the wrong. A cyclist and motor cyclist should ride in the middle of a lane. You indicate and overtake....don't harass...but you are a typical Kenyan and ignorance is your forte

For a cyclist lakini it is recommended if the road is too narrow to ride on the side (or such that you cannot share the road), you take over the whole lane and ride hard or disembark, but if the road is wide enough, you can use the side section.

Everybody needs to have a cool head on the road, and apply proper judgement

Mmeniamulia. Hehehe.
Why would i harass someone who is conscious about other road users? Ni kama wale watu huovertake and then brake instead of creating room for other people overtaking. Vitu zingine si kuambiwa.
