Just dim the damn lights, for what use if we all can't see? @Lolest,@Fullykenyan, Why not dim the lights? I always dim them. I just can't support a guy who goes bragging how he causes accidents because someone else had full lights on @Lolest, Fair enough if you do. No one is supporting that truck driver. NTSA should use that story to sensitise those morons why they need to dim their lights whenever flashed. The thought of a truck sweeping you off the road would make you behave hata kaa wewe ni ng'ombe ya Museveni. I dont put full lights coz the norm is thatyou do fulllight only when there is no oncoming car in the opposite direction and infront of you. ..By the way is anybody here a member of AAA? how are their services? I have AAA's tow service attached to my insurance policy, I had very little regard for this service until once on a rainy Saturday night while on MSA road headed towards town my fuel pump died on me and stalled the car and I could not get it to start again, called the AAA number and told them what had happened and within an hour the AAA guys arrived with a flat bed lorry and proceeded to do minor fixes but they were unsuccessful as they indeed confirmed the fuel pump was a goner. The car was loaded on to the flat bed and taken back to my house, all of that was covered under the tow service attached to my policy, on further enquiries the tow guys told me that under the policy my car can be towed to a distance of 20 km without any charge thereafter they charge ksh 500 per extra kilometre this being after they have tried to fix you car on site and failed. Sounds good. I was thinking of getting the same for my missus. Thanks for your comprehensive reply on top of that, also try get some numbers of the professional tow guys all around siku hizi there are several, you never know who will be nearer, those guys can save one lots of trouble Thanks. My biggest scare is missus being stranded somewhere and am not in a position to help her immediately. Once am assured she gets proffessional help, incase of a breakdown when am not around,it gives me peace of mind... and does anybody know of a serious Mechanic firm that repairs cars professionally, i don´t want Jua Kali, you can never trust their competency @Fullykenyan, Do you have/know some of the professional towing operators? To be honest no. Do you have contacts? I thought @fullykenyan is a young student in college somewhere in @kiashland? Alioa siku gani ama he's a mature student?
