Hio story ya triangles is easier, there is overlapping. Last Friday, when overtaking a slow moving bus (1) a cop flagged me and accused me of overlapping. Tuko naye kwa court mpka mwisho.

Someone told us here that it is mandatory to have fire extinguishers and first aid boxes in private cars. Kumbe under the traffic act even the reflector triangles are not mandatory. You are only obliged to display them when the vehicle stalls on the road.
Lets educate each other. part of being educated involves improving your street knowledge, some quote from experience others from the written down laws. but you do realize that what is written down on paper and what happens on the streets can be different. anyway, all the best convincing a cop that you only need the triangles in-case you need to display them.

hehehe, am loving this. hope you are well prepared with a lawyer, and in case you appear before the lady magistrate in the traffic court at milimani, make sure you don't seem to know too much - from the several times I have been there, she doesn't seem to like guys who know too much "law"

They don't like returning to court for mentions and hearing, they would rather be out there "earning mullah". A pal of mine once stuck with it, hiring a lawyer and showing clear intent to go all the way - the cops pulled the case. Good luck boss.

BTW you should have 2 triangles, fire extinguisher and approved first aid box, so says some cop i asked yesterday. there seems to be confusion regarding extinguisher and first aid box in personal cars. Seriously, Wazua Driver, why would someone not want to buy and carry the above? It is for your safety, the safety of others on the road and for emergencies! Even DL hamtaki kubeba. Why?  Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Why? ditto.On Saturday while heading to Nakumatt Nyali,next to Wild waters there was this Nissan B14 that had caught fire and the lady was crying as she watched it burn.By the time I was leaving Mombasa today the shell was still by the roadside.
