I hate stupid drivers, I can't seem to escape them


Utterly ridiculous! Today was the third time I have encountered a vehicle where a stupid driver was driving dangerously this past week alone. I do get angry when I see bad driving. Those drivers cutting up and speeding should know that causing road rage is not fame. Like it or not, the whole world knows you as idiots have seen. Unless you live in hell, you should know the main causes of accidents is because of drink driving, careless driving and speeding. I have been a fan of motorsports since childhood but seeing “buffoons” turning public roads to formula one circuits is not funny at all. These kind of idiots are eroding efforts to making road travel safer for all of us.  Reckless driving seems to be a major problem that many drivers have been perpetrating with impunity. Killing innocent people as a result, is not an achievement but is rather a criminal offense and such crooks should spend behind the bars for the rest of their lives. I hardly see any attempts to prevent dangerous driving in most places I have traveled to and the place I was today is no exception. Witnessing careless driving is bad enough.

However, seeing irresponsible drivers speeding like Lewis Hamilton often annoys me and when they bully other motorists on the road, it pains me. I have seen it three times this past week. The society is in dire need of harsher measures to discipline these careless drivers and ensure that lesson is served to the current and future drivers. Without tough punishment, these bad drivers will keep speeding, ignoring traffic lights and overtaking when they shouldn't because they feel they can get away with it. I just wish a day when before one is issued with a driving permit, he goes through tougher driving tests as that would be a good start to combating road carnage. Contador Harrison feels that when it comes to road safety, there should be no compromise and the society should ensure that safe driving is practiced at all times, by all road users. I have been driving since the age of 13 and have never caused an accident. This is because my father told me that knowing how to drive is not good enough to earn me a spot on the road. He and my tutor who was a Jewish mechanic, made it clear to me that I must also know how to drive responsibly.

Gaming with Smartphones

For a moment forget about the stereotype of gamers being baby faced hooded blokes in dark rooms. This is the age of the "thirty plus", like me who plays games on their mobile while standing in the supermarket queue or waiting for coffee in a restaurant. “ Contador Harrison love playing games on his phone because it's an easy way to fill in small pockets of time that crop up from my tight schedule. If nothing's going on with Twitter then I reach for a game while sipping coffee which unfortunately I am naturally addicted." Smartphones have become an essential gadget that allows busy individuals like me to keep pace with the present dynamic environment. Smart devices have become affordable and now almost everyone has a smartphone that fits their varied lifestyles. Having an iPhone or Android powered devices is now considered basic gadgets and few would argue that smart devices are one of the most revolutionary gadgets ever invented with their purpose ...

Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya tripartite partnership that has been branded as the ‘coalition of the willing’ will push for more intensive cooperation to ensure sufficient provision of financing for infrastructure development.

Industrial automation requires skills rethink

After more than a decade and a half in the technology industry, I have not come across institutions that do not have a few staff allergic to change. In most industries, automation has been the most dreaded. Whether an employee likes it or not, clearly traditional jobs will eventually be wiped out, and even those jobs that fall disproportionately on communities that are built on industrial sectors like mining and agriculture. New jobs emerging in industrial technology are not likely to replace those lost as a result of automation. I was having a chat yesterday with an Agri-industry expert who was involved in a research that investigated the outcomes of autonomous and remote operation technologies in the agriculture industry in sub Saharan Africa. In their research, they found the automation of agricultural practices tasks in countries like South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Zambia and Tanzania has provided safety and efficiency, but was also likely to result in the loss of...
