Let’s say someone was cruising at 140 along Mombasa Road at 11:00 pm, akainga Southern Bypass na kupanda Likoni Road akienda mahali anaenda. Just before Winners Chapel, akapatana na a crater dead centre in his lane, akaona badala ya kuswerve na kuingia kwa ditch, akule hio pothole mzima mzima kama mwanaume na kubendisha rim kiasi in the process.
Swali ni, kuna venye it can be made 100% circular again na machine? Where can it be done? Ama itabidi replacement?
its the same scenario like a phone once ikienda kwa repairs shop it will never be the same, i wouldn’t recommend you fixing it, weka kwa hao kama decoration au memoir of the day you nearly spilt your brains on the southern bypass
Wueeh.
Lakini watu waache hizi rims za Taiwan. Nimewahi kuona moja ikipasuka without considerable impact.
Stuck to your steels if you can’t get genuine alloys.
I obey traffic rules, I indicate before turning, I maintain max speed limit, I watch out for other road users, I have not and will not hit anything other than a pothole…
If you have issue with speed, I suggest you petition the government to put speed limiters of 60 kmph on all cars, bycicles, shoes, mkokoteni, and whichever vehicle you fancy.
Speed is good, it gets you to places faster and it makes you more productive. Speed is not necessarily reckless driving.
Matatus have killed at 50kmph. I see no reason I should not go to a place faster if I am not endangering myself or other road users.
You damaged your rim.
Stop trying to justify recklessness.
Now get out of here and go buy yourself another rim.
And always remember ‘it could have been worse’.
