An old truck jostles for space
with a modern truck on a Kenyan
road. Clearly this truck has seen
better days but thanks to good
service it is still on the road.
The sad truth is that most of us would
rather die than change and one need only
walk our streets to see that repeated everyday
…vehicles chugging black smoke on the tail
end struggling to go uphill… Sorry, what did
you think I was referring to? ... We are talking
vehicles here! ... Back onto the point ... other
vehicles with the bonnet open … if all drivers
would check their vehicles regularly prior to
the trip, so many of the breakdowns we see on
the roadside would not be there. This check
doesn’t have to be done at a garage or workshop! Just opening the bonnet or tipping the
cab, you will be able to see if the belt is chaffed
or the level of coolant is low or distantly

important, if the brake fluid level is low.
Asking the right questions at the fuel
station will ensure trouble free motoring
on that out of town trip you and family are
making. In fact, just getting out of the car
to chat to the station guy when he/she asks
“mbele iko sawa?” will allow you to glimpse
on what he/she is doing as well as see that
leak, that may or may not be there, but which
if left unchecked will leave the cheque book
thinner!
Remember … happy motoring is not a
sprint race, it’s a lugging marathon and every
shortcut you take now will come back to you.
Have a shortcut free motoring!
