Ten types of annoying passengers you should never carry in your car

Kenyans have big hearts, that’s why friends or neighbours will give each other lifts. But then, there is this special breed of insensitive Kenyans who will get into your car and immediately switch the radio from BBC to Kasheshe by Maina and King’angi.
