#AmKenyan 1. #KOT Yesterday, at 6pm, a head-on collision almost happened because of cars overlapping and using the wrong side of the road to avoid traffic. This brought us to a 20 minute long standstill.
I decided to take photos of the cars.
Here is car One: KBZ 602N
A THREAD:

#AmKenyan 2. This is the point they were making the illegal turn. There was no policeman present. When they couldn't join the traffic from here, they drove straight on and forced their way back to the right lane.
Car two: KBY 025A

#AmKenyan 3: Most of them were using the illegal right turn from the NAIROBI hospital direction opposite CITAM. They then had to force their way back into the right lane causing a back-up all the way to hurlingham.

Car three: KCP 544X

#AmKenyan 4. Once a few cars had got away with it, others became emboldened and followed. This created a third lane. Forcing oncoming cars to keep to the extreme left lane.
Car four: KCD 440C

#AmKenyan 5. Monkey see, monkey do!
Car five: KCQ 647W

#AmKenyan 6. All the drivers in these cars perhaps thought we were laying eggs in our respective vehicles because we chose to follow the rules?
Car 6: KCC 054X

#AmKenyan 7. This illegal third lane had to end at some point. One by one they forced their way back into the right lane. Many drivers were refusing to let them join in forcing them to drive further down toward oncoming cars.
Car seven: KCS 356N

#AmKenyan 8. Perhaps the most annoying was this one. More annoying than the Matatus we encounter every day.
One of the passengers saw me taking the photos and quickly hid her face. If an accident would have happened, how many would have been injured?
Bus Eight: KCM 793S

#AmKenyan 9. So at times, when we claim @PoliceKE @NPSOfficial_KE cause traffic by directing it, remember not all drivers are considerate of others on our roads. The near miss yesterday would have probably cost someone their lives. These fools did not gain much in getting ahead!
