Video: Driving "Nairobi"-style
If you are planning a trip to Kenya, be prepared for the traffic in Nairobi. Kenya's capital got recently voted the #4 city in the world for "commuter pain". Only Mexico City, Shenzen and Bejing seem to be more painful for communters. At least according to the ranking. So, if you are renting a car in Nairobi, stay calm and go with the flow... ;-)

Traffic lights are called "Robots" in South Africa
Back in the (very) old days actual policemen were organising the traffic by hand signals on South Africa's roads (like anywhere else in the World). When the first electric traffic lights were introduced they replaced the traffic policeman and therefore got the name "robot policemen".
This rather long term got shortened to "robot" over the years. So don't panic if you see the word "ROBOT" painted on a road in South Africa. It is only a sign warning you that there are traffic lights ahead!

The Times - Johannesburg's 10 most irritating driver habits
What makes your blood boil while driving in the City of Gold? The Times Online lists 10 irritating (and dangerous) South African driver habits.
- Reversing along the highway’s emergency lane after missing an off-ramp.
- Ignoring the ’four-way stop rule’ when traffic lights aren’t working.
- Drivers who perform U-turns on the highway (crossing the middle strip and turning into the fast-lane in the opposite direction) to avoid traffic jams. Shared via AddThis
