A few years ago, I made a bold, brash decision to change my county of residence from Nairobi to Kiambu. I took my Nairobi driving habits with me, which meant one drives calmly and sedately on the main road until one arrives at one’s destination.
Those habits lasted all of two weeks. You see, you don’t drive on Kiambu Road, you chart a course that gets you moving. You grab whatever square inch of motorable space your vehicle can get, whether the said inch has tarmac, murram, soil or overgrown grass because on Kiambu Road the right of vehicular passage extends beyond the single lane that the government has provided.
